Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have histologically or cytologically documented salivary gland cancers;
patients that do not have a salivary gland primary must have one of the following
histologies - adenoid cystic carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, acinic cell
carcinoma

- Patients must have recurrent and/or metastatic disease that is progressive and not
amenable to surgery or curative radiotherapy occurring within 6 months of study
entry, as evidenced by: at least a 20% increase in radiographically or clinically
measurable disease, appearance of any new lesions, or deterioration in clinical
status

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2

- Patients with measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria

- At least one lesion of >= 1.5 cm in long-axis diameter for non lymph nodes or >=
1.5 cm in short-axis diameter for lymph nodes which is serially measurable
according to RECIST 1.1 using either computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI)

- Lesions that have had radiotherapy must show evidence of progressive disease
(PD) based on RECIST 1.1 to be deemed a target lesion

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/μL

- Platelets >= 100,000/μL

- Creatinine clearance >= 40 mL/min

- Bilirubin =< 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Alkaline phosphatase =< 3 ULN; if total ALP is > 3 x ULN (in the absence of liver
metastasis) or > 5 x ULN in subjects with liver metastasis AND the subject is known
to have bone metastases, then liver ALP iso-enzyme should be used to assess liver
function rather than total ALP

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 X ULN

contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control or abstinence) prior to
study entry and for the duration of study participation

- Life expectancy of > 12 weeks

- Signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient has been
informed of all the pertinent aspects of the trial prior to enrollment

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases must have stable
disease after treatment with surgery or radiation therapy

- Second primary malignancy that is clinically detectable or clinically significant at
the time of consideration for study enrollment

- Radiotherapy within 14 days of study treatment

- Major surgery within 21 days of study treatment; minor surgery within 2 weeks of
study treatment; placement of vascular access device and biopsies allowed and is not
considered major or minor surgery

- Treatment with any chemotherapy or investigational agents within 4 weeks of the start
of study treatment; subjects must have recovered from toxicities of prior therapy

- Patients with peripheral neuropathy >= grade 2

- Significant cardiovascular impairment: congestive heart failure > class II according
to the New York Heart Association (NYHA), unstable angina or myocardial infarction
within 6 months of enrollment, or serious cardiac arrhythmia (> grade 2)
