  2. For results of blood biochemical test：

     1. TBIL<1.5×ULN；
     2. ALT and AST<2.5×ULN, but< 5×ULN if the transferanse elevation is due to liver metastases；
     3. Serum creatinine ≤1ULN , calculated creatinine clearance>50 ml/min(per the Cockcroft-Gault formula); 7. Life expectancy greater than or equal to 3 months; 8.
