available for analysis for biomarker studies
- At least one measurable lesion greater than or equal to 10 mm
- Disease has progressed after treatment with both irinotecan and oxaliplatin
containing regimens and should have progressed on or within 3 months of completing
their last line of therapy

Scale
Exclusion Criteria:

study, or whose toxicities from agents administered 2 weeks earlier have not resolved
to at least grade 1 or baseline, or who is within 3 weeks from a prior surgery

compound or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent,
whichever is longer, of initial dosing on this study
- Could not complete previous course of irinotecan due to intolerable toxicity, other
than discontinuation due to fatigue following prolonged administration (>4 months
