contraceptives) or abstinence for the duration of the study and for 4 months
following the last dose of study treatment. Male patients must be sterile
(biologically or surgically) or commit to the use of a reliable method of birth

or surgical intervention >21 days prior to the first dose of CTX-8371. 11. Resolution of all prior anti-cancer therapy toxicities ≤ Grade 2. 12. Capable of understanding and complying with protocol requirements. 13. Signed and dated institutional review board (IRB)/independent ethics committee
(IEC)-approved informed consent form (ICF) before any protocol-directed screening
procedures are performed.
Exclusion Criteria:
