f. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), AST, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 5 × upper limit
of normal (ULN).
g. Total bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dL (≤ 34.2 µmol/L).
h. Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL (≥ 28 g/L).

of those who had prior hysterectomy). However, women who have been amenorrheic for
12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is
possibly due to prior chemotherapy, antiestrogens, low body weight, ovarian suppression or
other reasons.
