6. Participants must have at least one target lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1 that allows for evaluation of tumor response
7. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1500 mm3, platelet count ≥ 100×109 L, hemoglobin ≥ 8.5 g/dL
8. Serum creatinine ≤1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range, total bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dL, AST/ALT ≤ 5 times the upper limit of normal range
9. No remaining grade 2 or higher toxicity from prior cancer therapies unless judged to be clinically insignificant by the Principal Investigator
10. At least three (3) weeks from prior chemotherapy
11. Women of child-bearing potential (i.e., women who are pre-menopausal or not surgically sterile) must be willing to use an acceptable contraceptive method (abstinence, oral contraceptive or double barrier method) for the duration of the study and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug, and must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to beginning treatment on this trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Inadequate renal function with a calculated creatinine clearance less than 51 mL/min.
2. History of ventricular fibrillation, sinus node or AV nodal disease, Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome, hemodynamically significant or life threatening cardiac arrhythmia.
3. Uncontrolled cardiac disease, congestive heart failure, angina or hypertension.
4. Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 2 months of treatment.
5. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or chronic active Hepatitis B or C (patients are NOT required to be tested for the presence of such viruses prior to therapy on this protocol).
6. Active clinically serious infection > CTCAE (version 4.03) Grade 2.
7. Thrombotic or embolic events such as a cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attacks within the past 6 months.
8. Pulmonary hemorrhage/bleeding event ≥ CTCAE Grade 2 within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.
9. Any other hemorrhage/bleeding event ≥ CTCAE Grade 3 within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.
10. Serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture.
11. Major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 2 weeks of first study drug.
12. Inability to complete informed consent process and adhere to the protocol treatment plan and follow-up requirements.
13. Concurrent severe illness such as active infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit safety and compliance with study requirements.
14. Currently on anti-coagulation therapy with Coumadin, and cannot be switched other forms of anti-coagulation.
