allowed.)
4. Performance status of 0, 1, 2 on the ECOG criteria.
5. At least one uni-dimensionally measurable lesion meeting Response Evaluation Criteria
in Solid Tumors (RECIST 2000).
6. Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

8. Adequate organ function.
9. Metastasis of CNS is not regard to exclusion if the symptom is controlled properly
for supportive care including corticosteroid.

Exclusion Criteria:

congestive heart failure or uncontrolled arrhythmia
2. Serious concomitant infection including post-obstructive pneumonia
