immunotherapy, biological therapy, or hormonal therapy within 28 days prior to the
first dose of study treatment.
- Prior major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to the first dose of study
treatment and/or presence of any non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer.
- History or clinical evidence of CNS metastases or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.

- Unresolved bowel obstruction or diarrhea ≥ Grade 1
- Known intraluminal metastatic lesion(s) with suspected bleeding
- Known endobronchial lesions or involvement of large pulmonary vessels by tumor.
- Presence of uncontrolled infection.
- Prolongation of QTc > 480 msecs.
- History of any one or more of the following cardiovascular conditions within the past
6 months:

Initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive medication(s) is permitted prior to
study entry. Blood pressure must be re-assessed on two occasions that are separated
by a minimum of 24 hours. The mean SBP/DBP values from each blood pressure assessment
must be <140/90 mmHg in order for a subject to be eligible for the study.

first dose of study treatment.
- Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding diathesis.
- Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric, or other condition
that could interfere with subject's safety, provision of informed consent, or
compliance to study procedures.
- Use of any prohibited medication within 14 days prior to the first dose of study
treatment(see Section 4.8.2).
- Prior use of any investigational or licensed anti-angiogenic agent, including
topotecan,bevacizumab, thalidomide, and agents that target VEGF, VEGF receptors, or
PDGF.
- Any ongoing toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy that is > Grade 1 and/or that is
progressing in severity.
- Known hypersensitivity to topoisomerase I inhibitors or pazopanib.
