Gemcitabine administered intravenously at 1200 mg/m2 over 30 minutes on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle up to plus Vandetanib 100 mg orally once-daily, from Day 1.Patients will receive gemcitabine for up to a maximum of 6 cycles, after which period patients should continue on daily oral dosing with vandetanib alone until progression. Once a patient has met the study criteria for disease progression on vandetanib/gemcitabine or placebo/gemcitabine, randomised treatment must be permanently discontinued.
