refused by the subjects

- Four weeks since the last cytotoxic chemotherapy or clear evidence of progression on
hormonal therapy

- Subjects who have at least one measurable lesion by CT (Computed Tomography) scan or
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) according to modified WHO Tumour Response Criteria

- Subjects who have an Eastern Co-operative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of
0, 1 or 2

- Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function as assessed by the following
laboratory evaluations:

- Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dl

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,500/mm3

- Platelet count = 100,000/µl

- Total bilirubin =1.5 x the upper limit of normal.

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) = 2.5 x
upper limit of normal (=5 x upper limit of normal for subjects with liver
involvement of their cancer)

- Amylase and lipase = 1.5 x the upper limit of normal

- Serum creatinine = 3.0 x the upper limit of normal

- Prothrombin Time (PT) or International Normalized Ratio (INR) and Partial
Thromboplastin Time (PTT) < 1.5 x upper limit of normal (subjects who receive
anti-coagulation treatment with an agent such as warfarin or heparin will be
allowed to participate provided that no evidence of underlying abnormality in
these parameters exists)

procedures with the understanding that the subject has the right to withdraw from the
study at any time, without prejudice

- Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks

- Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to any study specific procedures
