toxicity related to study drug
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
contraception must be used throughout the trial and for 90 days after the last
|
|
|
|
|
dose of study drug, as the effects of crizotinib on an unborn fetus are not
|
|
|
|
|
known. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy
|
|
|
|
|
test within 7 days prior to administration of crizotinib
|
|
|
