8. Current diagnosis of malignancy other than breast cancer.
9. Absolute neutrophil count \<1.5 x 109 cells/L.
10. Platelet count \<100,000 x 109/L.
11. Hemoglobin level \<9 g/dL at Screening without transfusion (transfusion independent).
12. Corrected QTcF \>470 msec (single tracing) at Screening and prior to randomization.
13. Chronic renal or hepatic disease.
14. Clinically significant renal dysfunction including serum creatinine level \>1.5 mg/dL or calculated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/minute at Screening.
15. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level \>2.0 x upper limits of normal (ULN), or a bilirubin \>1.5 x ULN unless in the setting of known Gilbert's disease at Screening.
16. History of HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or tuberculosis.
17. Major surgical procedures ≤30 days prior to starting study drug, or minor surgical procedures ≤7 days prior to starting study drug.
