    a. Patients who switch to low molecular weight heparin may be enrolled and weekly INR labs are not mandated for these patients.
13. Aspartate transaminase (AST) level ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). For patients with liver metastases, AST ≤ 5 ULN, and AST ≤ 5 ULN may be enrolled if agreed upon by the investigator and medical monitor for the sponsor.
14. Patients must have a total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 x ULN (≤ 2 x ULN if it is non-rising for a period of 10 days prior to initiation of therapy).

Creatinine level \< 1.0 x ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for patients with creatinine levels above or below the institutional normal (as determined by Cockcroft-Gault equation). For patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) \> 30 kg/m\^2, lean body weight should be used to calculate the GFR.
16. Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dl
17. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9/L
18. Platelets ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L
19. Acceptable coagulation studies as demonstrated by prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) within normal limits (+/-15%).
20. Patient has no clinically significant abnormalities on urinalysis results.
21. Life expectancy estimated at ≥ 3 months.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Anti-cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational agents within 14 days of the first dose of BBI608, except for BBI608 for which a washout period is not required.
