• Cancer progression after treatment with one gemcitabine and one fluoropyrimidine-containing chemotherapy regimen.
• Capable of providing informed consent and complying with trial procedures.
• ECOG performance status 0-1.
• Life expectancy ≥ 8 weeks.
• Measurable tumor lesions according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
• Women must not be able to become pregnant (eg post-menopausal for at least 1 year, surgically sterile, or practicing adequate birth control methods) for the duration of the study. (Adequate contraception includes: oral contraception, implanted contraception, intrauterine device implanted for at least 3 months, or barrier method in conjunction with spermicide.)
• Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and be non-lactating.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior exposure to > 3 cycles or 225 mg/m2 of doxorubicin or Doxil®.
• Palliative surgery and/or radiation treatment less than 4 weeks prior to Randomization.
• Exposure to any investigational agent within 30 days of Randomization.
• Evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis (negative imaging study, if clinically indicated, within 4 weeks of Screening Visit).
• History of other malignancies (except cured basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) unless documented free of cancer for ≥ 5 years.
• Laboratory values: Screening serum creatinine > 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3×ULN or > 5×ULN if liver metastases are present, total bilirubin > 3×ULN, absolute neutrophil count < 1,500/mm3, platelet concentration < 100,000/mm3, absolute lymphocyte count < 1000/mm3, hematocrit level < 27% for females or < 30% for males, or coagulation tests (prothrombin time [PT], partial thromboplastin time [PTT], International Normalized Ratio [INR]) > 1.5×ULN, serum albumin ≤ 2.8 g/dL.
• Clinically evident congestive heart failure > class II of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) guidelines.
• Current, serious, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias, defined as the existence of an absolute arrhythmia or ventricular arrhythmias classified as Lown III, IV or V.
• History or signs of active coronary artery disease with or without angina pectoris.
• Serious myocardial dysfunction ultrasound-determined, with absolute left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 45% of predicted.
• History of HIV infection.
• Active, clinically significant serious infection requiring treatment with antibiotics, anti-virals or anti-fungals.
• Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to Randomization.
• Substance abuse or any condition that might interfere with the subject's participation in the study or in the evaluation of the study results.
• Any condition that is unstable and could jeopardize the subject's participation in the study.
