* Alkaline phosphastase limit ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for subjects with liver involvement of their cancer)
* Lipase ≤ 1.5 x the ULN
* Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the ULN
* Platelet count ≥ 100000 /mm3
* hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9 g/dL,
* absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3.
* Blood transfusion to meet the inclusion criteria will not be allowed.
* Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of study drug. Post-menopausal women (defined as no menses for at least 1 year) and surgically sterilized women are not required to undergo a pregnancy test.

Pretreatment archival tissue for patients enrolled outside of MSK should be submitted to MSK. If there is no archival tissue available, a repeat biopsy is not required for non-MSK patients.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic pressure \>140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure \> 90 mm Hg \[NCI-CTCAE v4.0\] on repeated measurement) despite optimal medical management.

* Presence of a non-healing wound, non-healing ulcer, or bone fracture.
* Patients with seizure disorder requiring medication.
* Interstitial lung disease with ongoing signs and symptoms at the time of informed consent.

* Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
* Any condition which, in the investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for trial participation.
* Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days before start of study medication.
