Eligibility

Recruits 24 No vulnerable populations selected. Trial enrols adults (inclusion criterion: "18 years old or older"). Informed consent: "Able and willing to give written informed consent" is required. Subject information and ICF documents for adults are listed in trial documents. No assent or paediatric consent procedures described..

Pregnancy Exclusion
For women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), study participants must use a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of < 1% per year) for at least 5 months after the last dose of study intervention. Men receiving any study drurg and who are sexually active with WOCBP will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 6 months after the last dose of chemotehrapy with cisplatin or nab-paclitaxel. Acceptable methods are oral contraceptives, hormonal implants, hormonal patches, IDU, Diaphragm with spermicides, cervical cape with spermicide, and condom with spermicide.
