half-lives and pharmacodynamic effects. Patients may have received palliative
radiation immediately before (or during) treatment provided radiation does not target
the only measurable or evaluable disease.

4. 1.3 Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease

document.

9. 1.8 Life expectancy of at least 3 months.

10. 1.9 Patients may not be receiving any other experimental agents and/or any other
concurrent anticancer agents or therapies except hormonal maintenance.

11. Inclusion: (For carboplatin and paclitaxel arms)

12. 2.1 Patients must have normal marrow function defined as: absolute neutrophil count
