   • Have measurable disease according to RECIST.
5. ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2.

6. The following laboratory results, within 10 days of MKC-1 administration:

   • Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 90 g/L (9 g/dL)
   • Absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1.5 x 109/L
   • Platelet count greater than or equal to 100 x 109/L
   • Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN (upper limit of normal)
   • AST less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN
   • Serum Albumin greater than or equal to 30 g/L (3.0 g/dL)

8. Any medical conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, would impose excessive risk to the patient. These include: infection requiring parenteral or oral anti-infective treatment, any altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would interfere with the understanding of the informed consent.
9. Patients with previous malignancies unless free of recurrence for at least 5 years except cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma-in-situ of the uterine cervix.
10. Treatment with antiretroviral therapy metabolized through CYP3A4 (including indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir and saquinavir).
