Patients with a history of CNS metastases or spinal cord compression who are clearly treated and clinically stable after discontinuation of anticonvulsants and steroids for 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study may be enrolled in the study.

8. The presence of > grade 1 peripheral neuropathy

11. Hypertension that is not well controlled with antihypertensive medication (systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg).

12. Abnormal coagulation (INR > 1.5 or APTT > 1.5 x ULN) with bleeding tendency or on thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy

13. Known hereditary or acquired bleeding and thrombotic tendencies, e.g., hemophilia, coagulation disorders, thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism, etc.

14. Presence of significant coughing up of fresh blood, or hemoptysis of half a teaspoon (2.5 ml) or more per day within 2 months prior to study entry
