intervention and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store

10 days of randomization.

- Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents for
the current malignancy prior to randomization/allocation.
- Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of trial treatment.
- Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial drug.
