  • Patient has any of the following within 6 months of planned start of study drug:

1. Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, unstable symptomatic ischemic heart disease, or placement of a coronary arterial stent
2. Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or other clinically significant arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, or New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure
3. Thromboembolic events (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or symptomatic cerebrovascular events), stroke, or intracranial hemorrhage
4. Any other significant cardiac condition (e.g., pericardial effusion, restrictive cardiomyopathy, severe untreated valvular stenosis, severe congenital heart disease, or persistent uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure > 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg despite optimal medical management)
  • Bleeding diathesis, or other known risk for acute blood loss.
  • History of Grade ≥ 2 hemorrhage within 28 days of planned start of study drug.
  • Active known concurrent malignancy or malignancy other than the one under study within the past 3 years. (Exceptions include, but are not limited to, patients with more recent history of basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast may enroll if they have undergone curative therapy and have no evidence of disease).
