• Have multiple ascites or pleural effusion.
• Have hematologic malignancy (including lymphoma).
• Have severe infections or other uncontrolled active infections that require the administration of antibiotics, antivirals, or other anti-infective agents that may affect safety or efficacy assessments during the clinical study, as determined by the investigator.

(however, participants who have completed treatment and recovered from the acute phase of radiation therapy or surgery may participate in this study.).

Patients Who Have Received, are Receiving, or Cannot Discontinue the Following Medications or Therapies.

• Have received another investigational drug within the last 4 weeks prior to screening.
• If additional anticancer therapy* other than the investigational drug is required during the clinical trial participation period. (However, localized radiation therapy for palliation purposes, such as for bone pain, bronchial obstruction, or skin lesions, is allowed).

• If the participant is deemed to be taking medications (including over-the-counter drugs, herbs, or homeopathic remedies) that significantly affect the action, metabolism, and excretion of the IP, as well as its efficacy and safety of the IP, as determined by the investigator. (However, if the participant has been taking the same dose of medication for at least 1 week prior to baseline [excluding drugs taken daily; if taken regularly or periodically, it is included], they are exempt).
