• History of allergic reaction to one of the ingredients of the trial medication.

• Clinically relevant abnormality in organ function as evidenced by any of the following pa¬ra¬meters:

• White blood cell count: < 3.0 x 109/l ANC: < 1.5 x 109/l

• Thrombocytes: < 100 x 109/l

• Hemoglobin < 6.0 mM
