- Patients with reproductive potential must use an effective method to avoid pregnancy
for the duration of the trial and for three months after completion of treatment

- Marrow: ANC > 1,000/mm^3

- Marrow: Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dl

prior to study enrollment; prior minor procedures such as biopsies and mediport
placement must have occurred at least 48 hours prior to study enrollment

- All patients must have signed an informed consent indicating that they are aware of
the neoplastic nature of their disease and have been informed of the procedures of
the protocol, the experimental nature of the therapy, alternatives, potential
benefits, side effects, risks, and discomforts

to agents used in the study

Exclusion
