• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 3 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be =< 5 x ULN (obtained within 14 days prior to first treatment)
• Serum creatinine =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (obtained within 14 days prior to first treatment)
• Female subjects must either be of non-reproductive potential (i.e., post-menopausal by history: >= 55 years old and no menses for >= 1 year without an alternative medical cause; OR history of hysterectomy, OR history of bilateral tubal ligation, OR history of bilateral oophorectomy) or must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry
• Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up
• Patients must have been enrolled, or agree to consent to the companion genomic profiling study MSKCC IRB# 12-245; results must be available before starting treatment on protocol
• Patients must have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal information
