The purpose of this Phase I study is to establish a safety and toxicity profile of combining two study drugs; vandetanib, a VEGFR (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor) and EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) inhibitor, with selumetinib a MEK (Mitogen Activated Kinase) inhibitor. This is the first time the drugs have been used together. These types of drugs have shown an effect in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study is in two parts; the dose escalation phase and the expansion phase. In the dose escalation phase, 42-50 patients will receive different doses of vandetanib and increasing doses of selumetinib to establish a safe dose to recommend for the next stage of the study. Patients with any solid tumour will be eligible. In the expansion phase, up to 30 patients will receive the dose recommended in the previous phase. Only patients with NSCLC will be eligible for this part of the study. The expansion phase will look at further evaluating the safety of the drug combination and the anti-tumour activity. Patients in this cohort will be requested to also consent to have additional imaging assessments and optional tumour biopsies. Study treatment is administered orally; vandetanib tablets once daily and selumetinib capsules once daily (OD)/twice daily (BD). Cycle 1 is 42 days long. Subsequent cycles are 28 days in length. Patients will receive a total of 6 cycles of the combination treatment. If the patient has not progressed after six cycles, they may be treated for further cycles following approval from the sponsor.
