3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
4. Able to comply with study procedures
5. 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
6. 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

Exclusion Criteria:
