         10. Male or non-pregnant and non-breast feeding female:

               -  Females of child-bearing potential must agree to use effective contraception
                  without interruption from 28 days prior to starting IP and while on study
                  medication and have a negative serum pregnancy test (β -hCG) result at screening
                  and agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after
                  the end of study treatment.

               -  Male patients must practice abstinence or agree to use a condom during sexual
                  contact with a pregnant female or a female of childbearing potential while
                  participating in the study, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy.

         11. Life expectancy of >3 months, as determined by the investigator.

             embolization (with or without chemotherapy) or cyrotherapy/ablation) is allowed if
             these therapies did not affect the areas of measurable disease being used for this
             protocol.

          7. Recent infection requiring systemic anti-infective treatment that was completed

             ≤14 days prior to enrollment (with the exception of uncomplicated urinary tract
             infection or upper respiratory tract infection).

          8. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus as defined by HbA1c >8% despite adequate therapy.

             hypertension.

             the first dose of ABI-009. Additionally, use of any known CYP3A4 substrates with
             narrow therapeutic window (such as fentanyl, alfentanil, astemizole, cisapride,
             dihydroergotamine, pimozide, quinidine, terfanide) within the 14 days prior to
