• History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted.
• Severe dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy or requiring supplementary oxygen therapy.
• Patients with > 10 bilateral pulmonary lesions
• Patients with pulmonary miliary metastatic pattern (innumerable small lesions) or pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis.
• Significant cardiovascular/cerebrovascular disease within 6 months prior to Day 1 of study drug administration
• Spinal cord compression not definitively treated with surgery and/or radiation or previously diagnosed and treated spinal cord compression without evidence that disease has been clinically stable for ≥ 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment.
• History of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
• Uncontrolled tumor-related pain.
• Uncontrolled ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (QW or more frequently). Participants with indwelling catheters are allowed.

• Major surgical procedure, other than for diagnosis, within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the study.
• History of malignancy other than CRC within 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year OS rate > 90%), such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, localized prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or Stage I uterine cancer.
• Evidence of significant, uncontrolled concomitant diseases that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results, including diabetes mellitus, history of relevant pulmonary disorders, or other disease with ongoing fibrosis (such as scleroderma, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, neurofibromatosis, palmar/plantar fibromatosis).
• Known active infection, or reactivation of a latent infection, whether bacterial, viral (including, but not limited to, Epstein-Barr virus infection), fungal, mycobacterial, or other pathogens (excluding fungal infections of nail beds), or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with systemic antibiotics (IV and oral antibiotic treatment must have been completed at least 4 and 2 weeks, respectively, prior to initiation of study treatment).
• Prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation.
• Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the patient at high risk from treatment complications.

• History of chronic liver disease or evidence of hepatic cirrhosis.
• Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that give reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that would contraindicate the use of an investigational drug.
