Inclusion Criteria:

• A patient must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment in this study:

  2. Has provided written informed consent.
  3. Is 18 years of age or older.
  4. Is able to take medications orally.

  6. Has adequate organ function as defined by the following criteria:

     1. Transaminases AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal(ULN). If liver function abnormalities are due to underlying malignancy, then AST(SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) may be ≤ 5 times ULN.
     2. Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN.
     3. Absolute granulocyte count ≥ 1,500/mm3 (ie, ≥ 1.5 x 109/L by International Units [IU]).
     4. Has a platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 (IU: ≥ 100 x 109/L).
     5. Has a hemoglobin value of ≥ 9.0 g/dL.
  7. Is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.

3.3.2 Exclusion Criteria

Exclude a patient from this study if he/she does not fulfill the inclusion criteria, or if any of the following conditions are observed:

1. Has had treatment with any of the following within the specified time frame prior to study drug administration:

   1. Any investigational agent received either concurrently or within the last 30 days.
   2. Previous therapy for malignancy within 21 days, including any chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin(C).
   3. Previous radiotherapy within 14 days.
   4. Current enrollment in another clinical trial.

2. Has a serious illness or medical condition(s) including, but not limited to, the following:

   1. Myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, severe/unstable angina, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class III or IV, Appendix E, NYHA Classification).
   2. Known (at the time of entry) gastrointestinal disorder, including malabsorption, chronic nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea present to the extent that it might interfere with oral intake and absorption of the study medication.
   3. Known brain metastasis.
   4. Known leptomeningeal metastases.
   5. Requires hemodialysis.
   6. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS)-related illness.
   7. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and in the judgment of the Investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.

3. Is receiving a concomitant treatment with drugs interacting with S-1. The following drugs are prohibited because there may be an interaction with S-1:

   1. Sorivudine, uracil, dipyridamole, cimetidine and folinic acid (may enhance S-1 activity).
   2. Allopurinol (may diminish S-1 activity).
   3. Phenytoin (S-1 may enhance phenytoin activity).
   4. Flucytosine, a fluorinated pyrimidine antifungal agent (may enhance S-1 and flucytosine activity).
   5. Pilocarpine (may inhibit CYP2A6 activity).
4. Has known sensitivity to 5-FU.
5. Is a pregnant or lactating female.
6. Is a patient with reproductive potential who refuses to use an adequate means of contraception
