Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.

Toxicities from previous anticancer therapy have not resolved to = Grade 1 (except for alopecia). 3. Symptomatic brain metastases or spinal cord compression (except for those who are asymptomatic, stable, and have not required steroid treatment for at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment). 4. Presence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, organ dysfunction, or active infection, including but not limited to: uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes; active autoimmune disease; active infection (e.g., HBV, HCV, HIV); severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases (e.g., unstable angina, heart failure, myocardial infarction); clinically significant gastrointestinal dysfunction that may affect drug absorption (e.g., inability to take oral medication, refractory nausea/vomiting, extensive gastrointestinal resection, uncontrolled inflammatory bowel disease); cardiac abnormalities (e.g., clinically significant arrhythmias, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% on echocardiogram); interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, or a history of radiation pneumonitis requiring steroids; severely impaired lung function (FEV1/FVC <70% and FEV1% <30%; DLCO% <40%). 5.
