and AST/ALT ≤ 3 x ULN.

- Patient must have adequate renal function, defined as serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 x ULN.

- Patient must have recovered from any acute toxicities associated with prior therapy
to ≤ grade 1.

- Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
(hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and

similar chemical or biologic composition to Abraxane.

- Patient must not have any uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not
limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
