  • Patients who have had any chemotherapy not containing a taxane and platinum for their disease
  • Patients with borderline ovarian and macropapillary tumors
  • Patients with unresolved bowel obstruction
  • Patients with symptomatic CNS metastases or leptomeningeal involvement
  • Patients with any peripheral neuropathy or unresolved diarrhea greater than Grade 1
  • Patients with severe cardiac insufficiency
  • Patients taking Coumadin or other warfarin-containing agents with the exception of low dose Coumadin (1 mg or less) for the maintenance of in-dwelling lines or ports
  • History of another malignancy within 5 years prior to study entry except curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical cancer in situ
