Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histological/cytological diagnosis of non-resectable solid tumors for which therapy
of proven efficacy does not exist or is no longer effective.

- ECOG performance status =1.

- Ongoing toxicity associated with prior anticancer therapy =Grade 1 (NCI-CTCAE v.3.0).

- No more than 3 prior chemotherapy lines for advanced disease (not including
neo/adjuvant chemotherapy; reintroduced chemotherapy is considered only 1 line, e.g.
platinum reintroduction in ovarian cancer). Exceptions must to be discussed with, and
agreed by the Co-ordinating Investigator.

- Adequate hematological, liver and renal function, e.g.:

- Hemoglobin =9 mg/dl; ANC =1.5x109/l; platelets =100x109/l; normal coagulation factors
(INR, PTT, PT).

- Serum bilirubin =upper normal limit (UNL); ALT, AST =UNL but = 2.5xUNL in case of
liver metastases; alkaline phosphatase (liver isoenzyme fraction) =UNL or =1.5xUNL of
in case liver metastases; albumin within normal limits.

- Creatinine =1.5 mg/dl (=133µmole/l) or calculated creatinine clearance =60 ml/min.

- Life expectancy of at least 3 months.

- Capability of understanding the nature of the trial and giving written informed
consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Less than 4 weeks since last chemotherapy, radiotherapy or prior investigational
therapy. Less than 2 weeks since last hormone or immunotherapy or signal transduction
therapy.

- More than 30% liver parenchyma involvement assessed by CTscan.

- History of hypersensitivity to preparations containing human albumin, and to
intravenously administered proteins/peptides/antibodies.

- Active infection.

- Presence of cirrhosis with abnormal liver function test or chronic viral hepatitis.

- Presence of serious cardiac (congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial
infarction within one year prior to study entry, uncontrolled hypertension or
arrhythmia), neurological or psychiatric disorder.

- Presence of uncontrolled intercurrent illness or any condition which in the judgement
of the investigator would place the subject at undue risk or interfere with the
results of the study.

- Symptomatic brain metastases, primary brain tumors or leptomeningeal disease.

- Pregnancy or lactation, or unwillingness to use adequate method of birth control
