This trial is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy of two dose levels (30 mg and 40 mg) of an investigational drug in reducing the occurrence of severe (Grade 3 or 4) diarrhea during chemotherapy. Eligible patients must either have experienced NCI Common Toxicity Grade 1 – 4 chemotherapy-induced diarrhea during previous chemotherapy treatment or be experiencing Grade 1-4 chemotherapy-induced diarrhea currently.

In order to participate in this clinical trial, patients must be male or female 18 years of age or older. Inclusion into this investigational drug trial is based on the protocol entry criteria and a detailed evaluation from a participating trial investigator
