3. Except for alopecia, recovered from any previous treatments to a grade 1 or less prior to the planned first study treatment day.

4. With active systemic infections, active and clinically significant cardiac diseases, active gastrointestinal ulcers, or medical conditions that may significantly affect adequate absorption of investigational product.

5. Within 5 years, prior history of malignancy other than NSCLC, except cervical carcinoma in situ and basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma.
