  • Age \>/= 21 years.
  • Zubrod performance status \</= 3.
  • Adequate liver function (bilirubin \</= 2.5 mg/dL and Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT or SGOT) \</= 3 \* ULN, unless considered due to tumor), and renal function (glomerular filtration rate \[GFR\] \>/= 60 mL/min). Even if organ function abnormalities are considered due to tumor, the upper limit for bilirubin is \</= 5 mg/dL and creatinine \</= 3 mg/dL.
  • Male and female patients who are fertile agree to use an effective barrier method of birth control (e.g., latex condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, etc.) to avoid pregnancy.

  • Patients who receive other chemotherapy. Patients must have been off previous therapy for \>/= 2 weeks and must have recovered from acute toxicity of all previous therapy prior to enrollment. (Concurrent therapy for central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis or treatment for CNS relapse is permitted).
