Any clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities which may impair intake or absorption of the study drug 4. CNS metastasis with continuous corticosteroid use within 4 weeks of baseline disease assessment 5. Patients with known interstitial lung disease 6. Patients with uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease (AMI within 12 months,Unstable angina within 6 months, NYHA Class III, IV Congestive heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction below local institutional lower limit of normal or below 45%, Congenital long QT syndrome, Any significant ventricular arrhythmia, Any uncontrolled second or third degree heart block, Uncontrolled hypertension) 7.
