   • AST and/or ALT ≤ 3 x ULN (≤ 5.0 x ULN if there is liver metastasis);
   • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5.0 x ULN if there is bone or liver metastasis);
7. The patients must have signed the written consent to participate in the clinical study, and to provide the tumor blocks in paraffin for the molecular analysis of the screening phase.
8. Biopsy at baseline if there are no archive tumor samples obtained in the 3 months prior to starting treatment. If there are tumor samples within this period, there should not be subsequent treatments.
