Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Karenitecin (BNP1350)
 Drug: Karenitecin (BNP1350)
Karenitecn (1.0 mg/m2) administered as a single daily 60-minute intravenous infusion for 5 consecutive days repeated every 21 days (1 treatment cycle). Patients who respond (CR< PR, SD) can continue treatment for 6 cycles, unless unacceptable toxicity develops. Treatment will be discontinued if progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity develops.
