* Presence of measurable disease outside the CNS
* No radiographic evidence of worsening upon the completion of CNS-directed therapy and no evidence of interim progression between the completion of CNS-directed therapy and the screening radiographic study
* No history of intracranial hemorrhage or spinal cord hemorrhage
* No ongoing requirement for dexamethasone as therapy for CNS disease (anticonvulsants at a stable dose are allowed)
* Absence of leptomeningeal disease
* Inability to comply with study and follow-up procedures
* Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that, in the investigator's opinion, gives reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that may affect the interpretation of the results or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications.
* History of nephrolithiasis or nephrolithiasis including that incidentally discovered during CT screening.
