If the partner is pregnant or breastfeeding, the subject must use a condom. 9. Patients must sign an Informed Consent and Authorization indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study and the known risks involved. 10. Patient is =/\>18 years of age on the day of consenting to the study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Peripheral neuropathy of grade 2 or greater by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4.0. In CTCAE version 4.0 grade 2 sensory neuropathy is defined as "moderate symptoms; limiting instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs)". 2. Prior treatment with taxane therapy for either colorectal cancer or small bowel adenocarcinoma. 3. Chemotherapy or any other investigational agents within 14 days of first receipt of study treatment, or major surgery within 28 days of first receipt of study treatment, or palliative radiation within 7 days of first receipt of study treatment. 4. Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions which could compromise participation in the study such as unstable angina, myocardial infarction within 6 months, unstable symptomatic arrhythmia, uncontrolled diabetes, serious active or uncontrolled infection. 5. Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test) or lactation. 6. Patients with carcinomatous meningitis. 7. Known central nervous system (CNS) disease, except for treated brain metastasis. Treated brain metastases are defined as having no evidence of progression or hemorrhage after treatment and no ongoing requirement for dexamethasone, as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (MRI or CT) during the screening period. Anticonvulsants (stable dose) are allowed. Treatment for brain metastases may include whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), radiosurgery (RS; Gamma Knife, LINAC, or equivalent) or a combination as deemed appropriate by the treating physician. Patients with CNS metastases treated by neurosurgical resection or brain biopsy performed within 3 months prior to Day 1 will be excluded.

  1. description
    Evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (version 1.1, 2009): Complete Response (CR): Disappearance all lesions including normalization of elevated tumor marker level; Pathological lymph nodes reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR): \>30% decrease sum longest diameters (LD) of lesions reference baseline sum LD. Progressive Disease (PD): \>20% increase (absolute increase \>5 mm) in sum LD measured lesions references smallest sum LD, and appearance new lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, reference smallest sum LD. After a tumor demonstrates a tumor response (partial or complete), confirmation of the response obtained by a second evaluation to be performed 2 cycles later (+/- 1week) \[second tumor assessment not \<4 weeks from response observed\]. Assessed via computed tomography (CT) of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis.

detailed Description
Study Drug Administration: If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive the study drug in 21-day study cycles. You will receive abraxane by vein over about 30 minutes on Day 1 of each cycle. Study Visits: On Day 1 of all cycles, the following tests and procedures will be performed: * You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your weight and blood pressure. * You will be asked about any drugs you may be taking and about any symptoms or side effects you may be having. * Your performance status will be recorded. * Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests. At the end of every 3rd cycle (Cycles 3, 6, 9) and so on: °You will have a CT or MRI scan of your chest, abdomen, and pelvis to check the status of the disease. If at any point the scans show the disease appearing to get better, you will have another scan 2 cycles later. Length of Treatment: You may continue taking the study drug for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if you have intolerable side effects, if the study is stopped, or if you are unable to follow study instructions. Your participation on the study will be over after the follow-up period. End-of-Treatment Visit: Within 10 days after you stop taking the study drug, you will have an end-of-treatment visit. At this visit, the following tests and procedures will be performed: * You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your weight and blood pressure. * You will be asked about any drugs you may be taking and about any symptoms or side effects you may be having. * Your performance status will be recorded. * Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests. * If one has not been performed in the previous 4 weeks, you will have a CT or MRI scan of your chest, abdomen, and pelvis to check the status of the disease. Follow-Up: The study staff will ask about any symptoms or side effects you may be having during the 30 days after your last dose of the study drugs. The study staff may ask you by phone or at the time of a routine clinic visit. If the study staff contacts you by phone, the phone call should last about 15-30 minutes. If you leave the study for any reason other than the disease getting worse, you will have a CT or MRI scan of your chest, abdomen, and pelvis to check the status of the disease every 12 weeks unless you start receiving other treatment. The study staff will also review your medical records and/or contact you to check the status of the disease every 3 months after you stop receiving the study drug. If you are contacted by phone, each phone call should take about 5 minutes. This is an investigational study. Abraxane is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of breast cancer. It is not FDA approved for the treatment of colorectal or small bowel cancer. The use of abraxane in patients with colorectal cancer or small bowel cancer is investigational. Up to 35 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
