• At least 2 weeks beyond corticosteroids.
• Adequate hematology without ongoing transfusional support (hemoglobin > 9 g/dL, ANC > 1,500 per mm3, platelets > 100,000 per mm3).
• Adequate renal and hepatic function (creatinine ≤ 1.5 x IULN, bilirubin ≤ IULN, AST and ALT ≤ 3.0 x IULN or 5 x IULN if know liver metastases).

• Women of childbearing potential and fertile men unwilling to use effective contraception during study until conclusion of 12-week post-treatment evaluation period.
• Patients with Gilbert's disease or known CNS metastatic disease.
• Patients with CEA plasma levels > 1000 ng/mL are excluded during dose escalation, but may be included after the MTD is determined.
• Presence of bulky disease (defined as any single mass > 10 cm in its greatest dimension).
• Patients with active ≥ grade 2 anorexia, nausea or vomiting, and/or signs of intestinal obstruction.
• Patients with non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix are eligible, while patients with other prior malignancies must have had at least a 3-year disease-free interval.
• Patients known to be HIV positive, hepatitis B positive, or hepatitis C positive.
• Known history of unstable angina, MI, or CHF present within 6 months or clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia (other than stable atrial fibrillation) requiring anti-arrhythmia therapy.
• Known history of clinically significant active COPD, or other moderate-to-severe chronic respiratory illness present within 6 months.
• Infection requiring intravenous antibiotic use within 1 week.
• Other concurrent medical or psychiatric conditions that, in the Investigator's opinion, may be likely to confound study interpretation or prevent completion of study procedures and follow-up examinations.
