Cannot have received: anti-cancer therapy
Exception: within 2 weeks of Cycle 1 Day 1; exceptions: adjuvant hormonal therapy, corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent ≤ 20 mg daily, stabilized ≥ 7 days), topical/inhaled/intra-articular/ophthalmologic corticosteroids; Cohort C may remain on prior BTK inhibitor up to 2 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
