function (bilirubin < 3 mg/dl), with relief of biliary obstruction if present

- Is the patient free of significant co-morbid conditions that would preclude safe
administration or completion of protocol therapy

- If the patient is of reproductive potential, has he or she agreed to use an effective
method of contraception during treatment on this trial and for 6 months after

the study
