Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of HAI Abraxane [ Time Frame: Assessments every 3 week cycle (21 days) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    MTD is highest dose level in which 6 patients with at most 1 patient experiencing a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). Dose escalation continues until DLT is defined or until dose level 4 is completed. DLT defined during first cycle of treatment.

  5. Ability to fully comprehend and willingness to sign the IRB-approved informed consent
  6. Full recovery from any previous therapy and ability to receive cytotoxic agents.
  7. Patient is 18 years of age or older

Exclusion Criteria:
