Description:
The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug, Ixabepilone, works in treating your type of cancer and to find out what side effects are caused by treatment with this drug.

The drug ixabepilone has been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for use in patients with breast cancer, but is considered experimental for your type of cancer. Ixabepilone is a drug called an epothilone. Epothilones are similar to paclitaxel (a common chemotherapy drug), but have the potential to work in cells that are resistant to paclitaxel. Ixabepilone has caused tumors to shrink or stop growing for a period of time in previous studies
