  1. Bone marrow function: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3; platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 , Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL.
  2. Renal function: Creatinine clearance (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault) must be ≥ 30 ml/min.
  3. Hepatic function: Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 3.0 x ULN for subjects with Gilbert Syndrome; AST and ALT ≤ 3.0 × ULN.
  4. Coagulation profile: International normalized ratio (INR) is ≤ 2.0; absolute prothrombin time (aPTT) \< 1.5 x ULN.
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of \> 50% by ECHO or MUGA within 56 days prior to enrollment.
* Two blood pressure readings with systolic blood pressure \< 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg at screening with 28 days prior to enrollment.
* Provide written informed consent before any study-specific procedures are initiated.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* Major surgical procedure within 28 days or minor surgical procedure within 7 days prior to start of study treatment.

  2. Myocardial infarction, or
  3. Unstable angina, or
  4. Cerebrovascular accident.
* Presence of any non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer, or presence of symptomatic peripheral vascular disease.
* Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or clinically significant bleeding such as gross hematuria, gastrointestinal bleeding and hemoptysis within 6 months prior to start of study treatment.

* Known history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and an opportunistic infection within the past 12 months.
* Serologic evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) via positive hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBVsAg) or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV antibody) with a viral load above the limit of quantification.
* History of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection without completion of curative antiviral treatment with a viral load above the limit of quantification.
* History of organ transplantation.
* Clinical conditions affecting the intake or absorption of AL3818 (e.g., inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, malabsorption disease, stomach or small bowel resection).
