Patients with severe renal impairment or on dialysis Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or patients with an active hepatitis B or C infection necessitating treatment. Patients with chronic hepatitis B or C are eligible Active clinically serious infections of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 3 (CTCAE v3.0) > Grade 2 Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture Major surgery, open biopsy, or significant trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug Anticancer chemotherapy, experimental cancer therapy, or immunotherapy within 2 weeks of start of first dose Radiotherapy to the target lesions within 3 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (first dose of study drug). Palliative radiotherapy will be allowed as described in the study protocol. Radiotherapy to the target lesions during study will be regarded as progressive disease
