- Prior non-colonic malignancies allowed provided there is no current clinical evidence of persistent or recurrent disease AND the patient is not on active therapy, including hormonal therapy
- No uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic BP > 150 mm Hg or diastolic BP > 90 mm Hg, despite antihypertensive medications
No cardiac disease, including any of the following:
- NYHA class III-IV congestive heart failure
- Unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest)

- No known G-6PD deficiency
- No retinal or visual field changes from prior 4-aminoquinoline compound use
- No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to capecitabine or hydroxychloroquine
- No other concurrent serious systemic disorders (including active infections) that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise the safety of the patient or compromise the patient's ability to complete the study
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
