heterosexual intercourse from the start of Tomivosertib (eFT-508) until at least 30
days after the last dose of Tomivosertib (eFT-508) or anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy.
Note: A female subject is considered to be of childbearing potential unless she has
had a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy; has medically
documented ovarian failure (with serum estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone
levels within the institutional laboratory postmenopausal range and a negative serum
or urine beta human chorionic gonadotropin); or is menopausal (age 55 years with
amenorrhea for 6 months);

- Male subjects who can father a child must meet all of the following criteria:

- Willing to use a protocol-recommended method of contraception or to abstain from
heterosexual intercourse with females of childbearing potential from the start of
Tomivosertib (eFT-508) until at least 30 days after the last dose of Tomivosertib
(eFT-508) or anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy, and

- Willing to refrain from sperm donation from the start of Tomivosertib (eFT-508) until
at least 90 days after the last dose of Tomivosertib (eFT-508) or anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1
therapy. Note: A - male subject is considered able to father a child unless he has had
a bilateral vasectomy with documented aspermia or a bilateral orchiectomy;

- Willing to comply with the scheduled visits, drug administration plan,
protocol-specified laboratory tests, other study procedures, and study restrictions.
Note: Psychological, social, familial, or geographical factors that might preclude
adequate study participation should be considered;

- In the judgment of the Investigator, participation in the protocol offers an
acceptable benefit-to-risk ratio when considering current disease status, medical
condition, and the potential benefits and risks of alternative treatments for the
subject's cancer; and
