- INR <= 1.5, unless the patient is on full dose warfarin or stable dose of LMW
heparin with a therapeutic INR of > 1.5, <= 3.

- Urine protein should be screened by random urine protein:creatinine ratio.
For urine protein: creatinine ratio >1.0, 24-hour urine protein should be
obtained and the level should be < 1000 mg for patient enrollment.

- Capable of understanding the investigational nature, potential risks and benefits of
the study and able to provide valid informed consent.

- Willingness to donate blood for correlative marker studies.

- If a patient is on full-dose anticoagulants, the following criteria should be met for
enrollment:

- The subject must have an in-range INR (usually between 2 and 3) on a stable dose of
warfarin or on stable dose of LMW heparin.

- No active bleeding or pathological conditions that carry high risk of bleeding (e.g.
tumor involving major vessels, known varices).

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

- Patients with symptomatic/untreated CNS metastases. Patients with known CNS
metastases can be enrolled if:

- CNS metastases have been appropriately treated. Treatment for brain metastases may
include whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), radiosurgery (RS; Gamma Knife, LINAC, or
equivalent) or resection as deemed appropriate by the treating physician. Patients
who had surgical resection of CNS metastases or brain biopsy within 3 months prior to
Day 1 will be excluded.

- No ongoing requirement for dexamethasone, as ascertained by clinical examination and
brain imaging (MRI or CT) during the screening period.

- No evidence of progression or hemorrhage after treatment (brain imaging study within
4 weeks of treatment start).

- CTC Grade 2 or greater neuropathy (motor or sensory) at study entry.

- Inability to swallow capsules.

- History of gastrointestinal disease, malabsorption, or requiring use of a feeding
tube.

- Patients who have received any investigational compound within the past 28 days
(within 2 weeks for prior RTKI treated patients).

- Patients who have received radiotherapy for any cause less than 4 weeks prior to
study entry.

- Patients taking cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 enzyme-inducing or enzyme-inhibitor
medications like: antiepileptic drugs (phenytoin, carbamazepine or phenobarbital), St
John's Wort, ketoconazole, dexamethasone, dysrhythmic drugs (terfenadine, quinidine,
procainamide, sotalol, probucolol, bepridil, indapamide, or flecainide), haloperidol,
risperidone, rifampin, grapefruit (or juice) within two weeks of registration and
during the course of therapy. Topical and inhaled steroids are permitted. Please
refer to Appendix VI for a complete list of CYP34A inducers and inhibitors.

- Patients with known HIV infection are excluded due to the possibility of unknown side
effects on the immune system by these agents. The potential impact of pharmacokinetic
interactions of anti-retroviral therapy with ixabepilone or sunitinib is unknown.
Appropriate studies may be undertaken in patients with HIV and those receiving
combination anti-retroviral therapy in the future.

- Invasive procedures defined as follows:

- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury <= 28 days
prior to registration.

- Anticipation of need for major surgical procedures during the course of the
study.

- Core biopsy <= 7 days prior to registration.

- Port placement <= 7 days prior to registration.

- Serious or non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture.

- History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal
abscess <= 28 days.

- Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.

- Ongoing hemoptysis, or cerebrovascular accident <= previous 6 months, or peripheral
vascular disease with claudication on < 1 block, or history of clinically significant
bleeding.

- Significant cardiovascular disease defined as congestive heart failure (New York
Heart Association Class II, III or IV), angina pectoris requiring nitrate therapy, or
recent myocardial infarction (<= the last 6 months). Patients must have an absolute
baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 50% by MUGA scan within 4 weeks
prior to registration

- Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as a blood pressure of > 150 mmHg systolic and/or
> 90 mmHg diastolic on medication).

- A currently active second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer. Patients
are not considered to have a currently active malignancy if they have completed
anti-cancer therapy and are considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk
of relapse.

child:

arrhythmias, diabetes, etc.)
