• ECOG performance score <= 2(Ph 1) <=1(Phase 2a)
• Must be receiving a stable dose of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) anti-depressants 21 days prior to 1st dose of study drug.

• Adequate bone marrow, renal & hepatic function per local lab reference range at Screening as follows:

Exclusion Criteria:

• Underlying or predisposing condition of bleeding or currently exhibits signs of bleeding.
• Recent history of non-chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia associated bleeding within 1 year prior to first dose of study drug.
• Active peptic ulcer disease or other potentially hemorrhagic esophagitis/gastritis.
• The subject has active immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP),active autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), or a history of being refractory to platelet transfusions (within 1 year prior to the first dose of study drug).
• Currently receiving or requires anticoagulation therapy or any drug or herbal supplements that affect platelet function, with exception of low-dose anticoagulation medications that are used to maintain the patency of a central intravenous catheter.

• A history of other active malignancies within the past 3 years prior to screening, with the exception of:

  • Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri
  • Basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Previous malignancy confined and surgically resected with curative intent

• Evidence of other clinically significant uncontrolled condition(s) including, but not limited to:
