Inclusion Criteria

Lead-in safety period:
1. Subjects between the age of 18 and 84 years
2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or refractory cholangiocellular carcinoma, biliary tract cancer, non-small-cell lung carcinoma, duodenal cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, ovarian carcinoma, or another non-pancreatic cancer disease indicated for gemcitabine treatment as determined by the investigator
3. Subjects who have previously received chemotherapy and standard curative or palliative care is not available, not effective, or unlikely to be effective
4.No option for surgical resection or radiation in curative intent
5.Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status assessment of 0 – 2
6.Life expectancy of at least 3 months
7.No interstitial pneumonia or extensive and symptomatic interstitial fibrosis of the lung
8.Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN; =5 x ULN for subjects with liver metastases)
9.Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =3.0 x ULN (=5 x ULN for subjects with liver involvement with cancer)
10.Total bilirubin =2.0 x ULN (liver metastasis <5 x ULN)

12.Adequate bone marrow function: subjects should have an absolute granulocyte count of at least 1,500 (x 106/L) and platelet count of 100,000 (x 106/L) prior to the initiation of a cycle.
13.Prothrombin time-international normalized ratio/partial thromboplastin time (PT-INR/PTT) <1.5 x ULN (subjects who are being therapeutically anti-coagulated with an agent such as coumadin or heparin will be allowed to participate provided that no prior evidence of underlying abnormality in these parameters exists). Low-dose aspirin is permitted (=100 mg daily).
