  • Prothrombin Time (PT) or International Normalized Ratio (INR) and activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) (less than or equal to) ≤1.5 x ULN (upper limit of normal)

• For women: Must be surgically sterile (surgical procedure: bilateral tubal ligation, hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy), post-menopausal (at least 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea), or have a negative pregnancy test. Women of childbearing potential should be compliant with a medically approved contraceptive regimen (intrauterine device [IUD], birth control pills, or barrier device) during and for 3 months after the treatment period; must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before study enrollment, and must not be breastfeeding

• Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks

• Provide written informed consent/assent prior to any study-specific procedures

• No prior malignancies with the exception of stage 1 cancers definitively treated, carcinoma in situ (any primary site), treated non-melanoma skin cancer, superficial bladder tumors (Ta, Tis, and T1) or any cancer curatively treated 5 or more years prior to study entry

• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than or equal to LLN as defined by the institution performing the scan, as assessed by Multiple Gated Acquisition (MUGA) scan, or from echocardiogram to be performed within 28 days prior to start of treatment

Exclusion criteria

• Received treatment within the last 30 days with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication at the time of study entry

• History of active cardiovascular disease within the previous 12 months, including any of the following:

  • Myocardial infarction
  • Unstable angina
  • Coronary artery/peripheral artery bypass graft
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Malignant hypertension
  • Cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack

• Exhibit uncontrolled hypertension ( [greater than] >150/100 [millimeters of mercury] mm/Hg despite optimal medical therapy), or history of poor compliance with antihypertensive treatment

• Evidence of bleeding diathesis, National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 3 hemorrhage (less than) <4 weeks of starting the study treatment, coagulopathy, or thromboembolic event

• Significant surgery (less than) <4 weeks of starting study treatment or a minor surgical procedure (less than) < 7 days prior to study treatment (Placement of a portacath or other venous access device does not require a waiting period)

• Suffer from medical, psychological, or social conditions that may interfere with the patient's participation in the study or evaluation of the study results

• Known or suspected allergy to any agent given in association with this trial

• Prior palliative radiotherapy to metastatic lesion(s) is/are permitted, provided there is at least 1 measurable lesion that has not been irradiated. Radiotherapy must have been completed (greater than) >2 weeks prior to starting study treatment, and radiation-related side effects must have resolved

• Pregnant or lactating women
