Inclusion Criteria:

- Disease progression during or after one prior first-line platinum-based chemotherapy
with or without maintenance therapy

- Total bilirubin less than or equal to Upper Limit of Normal (ULN),

- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransaminase (ALT) less than
or equal to 2.5 x ULN, or less than or equal to 5 x ULN if the transferase
elevation is due to liver metastases,

- Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN or calculated creatinine
clearance greater than or equal to 50 ml/min (per the Cockcroft-Gault formula or
equivalent and/or 24-hour urine collection),

cirrhosis (any degree) and a history of hepatic encephalopathy or clinically
meaningful ascites resulting from cirrhosis. Clinically meaningful ascites is
defined as ascites resulting from cirrhosis and requiring ongoing treatment with
diuretics and/or paracentesis.

- Urinary protein is less than or equal to 1+ on dipstick or routine urinalysis. If
urine dipstick or routine analysis indicates proteinuria greater than or equal to 2+,
a 24-hour urine must be collected and must demonstrate less than 1000 mg of protein

of birth control (hormonal or barrier methods) during the study period and at least
12 weeks after the last dose of study therapy

- Life expectancy of greater than or equal to 3 months

- Prior radiation therapy is allowed if: In the case of chest radiotherapy at least 28
days have elapsed from the completion of radiation treatment prior to randomization;
In the case of focal or palliative radiation treatment at least 7 days have elapsed
from last radiation treatment prior to randomization (and provided that 25% or less
of total bone marrow had been irradiated); In the case of Central Nervous System
(CNS) radiation at least 14 days have elapsed from the completion of radiation
treatment prior to randomization
