* Life expectancy of \< 12 weeks
* Current, recent, or planned participation in an experimental drug study
* Inability to take oral medication or requirement of IV alimentation or total parenteral nutrition, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption
* Inadequate organ function
* Known evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy
* Active infection or fever \> 38.5°C within 3 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1
* Untreated abnormal thyroid function tests as defined by institutional standards (patients with controlled hypothyroidism are eligible for study participation)
* Any other medical condition(s) (including mental illness or substance abuse) deemed by the clinician to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to provide informed consent, cooperate, or participate in the study, or to interfere with the interpretation of the results

* Evidence of bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (in the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation)
* Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1 or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study
* Core biopsy or other minor surgical procedure, excluding placement of a vascular access device, within 7 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1
* History of abdominal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation within 6 months prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1
* Serious, non-healing wound, active ulcer, or untreated bone fracture
