Safety Study of PEGPH20 Given to Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a study of PEGPH20 in human subjects and is designed to evaluate the safety of PEGPH20 and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of PEGPH20. All patients will receive PEGPH20. Each group of patients will receive a higher dose than the previous group. This will continue until the group with the highest planned dose completes the study or until a group has major side effects from their assigned dose.
