Note 2: Chemotherapy refers to not targeted cytotoxic agents (for example, alkylating agents, taxanes, nucleotide analogs, platinum-based drugs, vinca alkaloids, etc) and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). Targeted therapies (for example, kinase inhibitors) are not considered chemotherapy for eligibility purposes. Not targeted cytotoxic agents administered for less than 1 cycle will not be counted as a prior chemotherapy regimen.

2. Platelets ≥100 × 10\^9/L
3. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 grams (g)/deciliter (dL)
4. Potassium, sodium, calcium (corrected for serum albumin) and magnesium CTCAE Grade ≤1 (if screening assessments are abnormal, these assessments may be repeated up to 2 times; participants may receive appropriate supplementation or treatment prior to reassessment)
5. Creatinine clearance (per Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥50 mL/minute
6. Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL (≥30 g/L)
