Concurrent use of other anticancer agents or treatments, with the following exceptions: - Ongoing treatment with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists or antagonists, denosumab (Prolia) or bisphosphonate (eg, zoledronic acid) is allowed. Ongoing treatment should be kept at a stable schedule; however, if medically required, a change of dose, compound, or both is allowed. 5. Any treatment modalities involving major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment. 6.

Ongoing treatment with CYP3A4 substrate with narrow therapeutic range at the start of study treatment. 12. Simultaneous participation in any other study involving treatment with investigational drugs or having received treatment with investigational drugs less than 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment. 13. Myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery bypass graft, class III/IV congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, or limb claudication at rest, within 6 months prior to start of study treatment and ongoing symptomatic dysrhythmias, unstable angina, uncontrolled hypertension, and uncontrolled atrial or ventricular arrhythmias. 14. History of pancreatitis. 15. Known brain or epidural metastases. 16. Known positive serology for HIV (patients with known history of HIV will be excluded because of potential for unforeseen toxicity and morbidity in an immunocompromised host). 17.
