- +Participants with a history of previously treated neoplastic spinal cord compression or treated, clinically inactive brain metastases that are no longer symptomatic, who require no treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants, may be included in the study if they have recovered from acute toxic effects of radiotherapy.
- +\- Participants with treated clinically inactive brain metastases that are no longer symptomatic, who require no treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants, may be included in the study if they have recovered from acute toxic effects of radiotherapy.
