• Adequate hepatic function within 28 days prior to registration for protocol therapy defined as meeting all of the following criteria:
• total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) OR direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels > 1.5 x ULN (except in patients with Gilbert's syndrome who must have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dl.)
