• ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) Performance Status of 0 or 1
• All prognostic group according to Heng criteria
• Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

• Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements to be conducted within 7 days prior to screening:

  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count > or equal to 100,000/ml
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
  • ALT (Alanine Transferase) and AST (Aspartate transferase) ≤ 2.5 x upper normal limit (ULN)
  • ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) ≤ 4 x ULN
  • PT-INR/PTT (Protrombine Time; International Normalized Ratio; Partial Tromboplastine Time)≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal [Patients who are being therapeutically anticoagulated with an agent such as coumadin or heparin will be allowed to participate provided that no prior evidence of underlying abnormality in these parameters exists.] For patients on warfarin, close monitoring of at least weekly evaluations will be performed, until INR is stable based on a measurement at pre-dose, as defined by the local standard of care.
