5. At least one measurable or evaluable lesion according to RECIST ver 1.1
6. ECOG performance status 0 or 1
7. Appropriate major organ function as defined below, A. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3 B. Platelet ≥ 100,000/mm3 C. Hemoglobin > 8.0 g/dL D. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN E. AST and ALT < 3 x ULN (if there is a live metastasis, AST and ALT ≤ 5 x ULN) F. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5x ULN or CCr > 50 mL/min
8. Life expectancy is more than 12 weeks
9. Echocardiography at the time of enrollment showed an ejection fraction ≥ 50%
10. Previous adverse events of chemotherapy or radiotherapy has been resolved to less than grade 1 toxicity (exception: Alopecia, stable peripheral neuropathy, and manageable electrolyte imbalance by replacement therapy are acceptable if they are resolved to less than grade 2)
11. If the urine pregnancy test or serum beta-hCG result is negative in child bearing women
12. If the subject have signed the informed consent form approved by the IRB

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Active virus, bacteria, or fungal infection (exception: HBV DNA titer is in the normal range for chronic hepatitis B carriers)
3. If previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy was applied within 3 weeks before the administration of study drug
4. If the subject has received major surgery within 4 weeks and the recovery is not complete before the administration of study drug
5. If there is a history of other malignancies within 3 years (exception: cervical intraepithelial cancer, well differentiated thyroid cancer, or skin cancer has been treated completely)
6. QTc interval > 480 msec, long or short QT syndrome, or Burgada syndrome. In addition, known prolongation of QTc interval or Torsade de Pointes

If there is a significant history of cardiovascular disease within 6 months, such as, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, significant cardiac arrhythmia, and uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP > 180 mmHg, diastolic BP > 100 mmHg), congestive heart failure (NYHA class III-IV), pericardial effusion or pericardial tamponade, cardiomyopathy, cerebrovascular disease including transient ischemic stroke, and symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
8. History of symptomatic interstitial pneumonia
9. History of other psychiatric problems, abnormalities of laboratory test which have potential effects on administration of study drugs or participation on the study, or if the subject is inappropriate to be participated according to the investigator's decision (refusal to request and instruction, incooperative attitudes, etc.)
