• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
• Able to comply with study procedures
• Adequate renal function within 7 days before the inclusion of the patient defined as: • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN (upper normal limit) or calculated creatinine clearance (determined by MDRD) > 50 mL/min/1.73m2
• Adequate hepatic function within 7 days before the inclusion of the patient defined as:
• AST and ALT ≤ 1.5 x ULN
• Total serum bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 x ULN, except for patients with known Gilbert's syndrome, who are excluded if total bilirubin > 3.0 x ULN or direct bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN
