6. WHO performance status 0 or 1;
7. Life expectancy of more than 12 weeks.
PET inclusion (for selected centers)
1. One or more measurable lesions greater than 20mm diameter (by spiral CT or conventional CT) in all dimensions to be followed as target lesions on RECIST;
2. The whole lesion and the left ventricle or aorta must be in the same field of view for the PET;

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Any of the following is regarded as a criterion for exclusion from the study:
1. Brain metastases or spinal cord compression, unless treated at least 4 weeks before entry, and stable without steroid treatment for 1 week;
2. Currently active skin disease, i.e., acne, psoriasis, eczema;
3. Currently active gastrointestinal disease that may affect the ability of the patient to absorb the ZD6474 or tolerate diarrhea;
4. History of clinically significant hemoptysis in the past 3 months;
5. Neutrophils less than 1.5 x 109/L (1,500/mm3) or platelets less than 100, 000/mm3;
6. Serum bilirubin >1.5 x the upper limit of reference range (ULRR);
7. Creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min, calculated from serum creatinine; 8. ALT or AST greater than 2.5 x ULRR if no demonstrable liver metastases; ALT or AST greater than 5.0 x ULRR if judged by the investigator to be related to liver metastases;
9. Alkaline phosphatase greater than 2.5 x ULRR;
10. Potassium concentration less then 3.5mEq/L, calcium (ionized calcium or adjusted for albumin) or magnesium concentrations outside normal limits. Supplementation of electrolytes is permitted;
11. History of chronic atrial fibrillation or clinically significant arrhythmia (multifocal PVCs, bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia), which is symptomatic or requires treatment (CTCAE grade 3) or a symptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia;
12. Significant cardiac event (including symptomatic heart failure or symptomatic angina) within 3 months of entry; or any cardiac disease that in the opinion of the investigator increases risk of ventricular arrhythmia;
13. Previous history of QT prolongation while taking other medication unless agreed between the investigator and AstraZeneca;
14. Congenital long QT syndrome;
15. QT with Bazett’s correction unmeasurable or 460 msec or greater on screening ECG (Note for the randomized phase only: If a patient has QTc of 460 msec or greater on screening ECG, the screening ECG may be repeated, at least 24 hours after the first ECG. The average QTc from the two screening ECGs must be less than 460 msec in order for the patient to be eligible for the study. If the patient meets eligibility requirements, the “baseline” QTc for this patient will be the average of the three ECGs (screen 1, screen 2, and pre-1st dose));
16. Superior Vena Cava (SVC) syndrome;
17. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 45% measured by multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO) for patients with previous anthracycline therapy (total dose > 450 mg/m2) or significant cardiovascular disease or chest irradiation;
18. Hypertension not controlled by medical therapy (systolic blood pressure greater than 160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mg Hg);
19. Any concurrent condition which in the investigator’s opinion makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol;
20. Any pre-study or concomitant therapy as outlined in Section 3.5.4 of the protocol unless agreed between the investigator and AstraZeneca;
21. Participation in an investigational trial within the past 30 days;
22. Women of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test prior to receiving trial medication or breast-feeding women;
23. Men or women unwilling to use an acceptable method of contraception while on study;
24. Patients with co-existing malignancies diagnosed within the last 5 years with the exception of basal cell carcinoma or cervical cancer in situ.
PET exclusion (for selected centers)
1. Bronchoalveolar carcinoma;
2. All suitable measurable lesions are Pancoast;
3. All suitable measurable lesions are too close to heart or aorta and would, in the opinion of the investigator, result in spill over on PET imaging contaminating lesion uptake measurements;
4. Type I insulin dependent diabetics;
5. Poorly controlled Type II insulin independent diabetes where the blood glucose is greater than 150 mg/dL;
6. Patients taking concomitant medication at the time of PET scanning which may effect glucose metabolism, i.e., Decadron;
7. Clinical judgment by the investigator that the patient should not participate in PET imaging.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The study will be conducted in two parts. The run-in phase (which is being conducted in the USA) will determine the dose of ZD6474 to be used in combination with paclitaxel + carboplatin chemotherapy. The randomised phase (to be conducted in the EU and elsewhere) will then use a 3 arm design with a 2:1:1 randomisation scheme to the following study arms Arm 1; ZD6474 300mg alone Arm 2; ZD6474 (dose to be determined from run-in phase) plus chemotherapy Arm 3; Matched placebo to ZD6474 plus chemotherapy
For arms 2 and 3, chemotherapy is defined as Paclitaxel (200 mg/m2) administered IV over 3 hours in Cycle 1 and over 60-90 minutes in all subsequent cycles, once every 3 weeks plus carboplatin (AUCSS 6) administered IV over 30-60 minutes in all cycles, once every 3 weeks. A maximum of 6 cycles of chemotherapy will be administered, after which time (if subjects have not progressed), subjects will continue on either ZD6474 or matched placebo alone.
The study is partially blinded - investigators and subjects in arm 1 will be aware that this arm is ZD6474 monotherapy, but arms 2 and 3 will be double blind
The primary endpoint is efficacy (for all treatment arms), defined as time to tumour progression, which will be assessed regularly, using RECIST criteria
