             prior to the first study drug administration.

          -  History of allergic reactions attributed to previous carboplatin treatment.

          -  Symptomatic Central Nervous System (CNS) or leptomeningeal metastases.

             receipt of study drug.

             1 severity [National Cancer Institute -Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events,
             (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.03] except for neuropathy and alopecia.

             antibiotics.

          -  Participants with serious illnesses, medical conditions, or other medical history,
             including laboratory results, which, in the investigator's opinion, would be likely to

             results.
