• An autoimmune disease with a history of flares requiring immunosuppressant medications within the past 6 months
• Prior allogeneic organ or bone marrow transplant (BMT).

• Major surgery (eg, requiring general anesthesia) within 4 weeks before the planned first dose of study drug, or not fully recovered from prior surgery, or has surgery planned during the time the patient is expected to participate in the study or within 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
• History of positive testing for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis C antibody (anti-hepatitis C virus) or other clinically active liver disease, or positive testing at screening for HBsAg or anti- hepatitis C virus.
• History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive
• Patient has had prior therapy meeting the following:
• Anticancer immunotherapy within 3 weeks prior to the first dose of CI-8993
