  • Prothrombin time =\< 1.5 international normalized ratio (INR)
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document and comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory testing, and other trial procedures

Exclusion

  • History of another cancer within the last 5 years with the exception of localized basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or stage 1A cervical cancer
  • Known brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or evidence of symptomatic brain or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis on screening CT or MRI scan
  • National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 Grade 2 variceal bleed within 6 weeks of registration or Grade 3 other bleed within 4 weeks of registration
  • Any of the following within the 6 months prior to registration: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, symptomatic congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, or pulmonary embolism
