A Randomized/Open Label/Parallel Group/Multicenter/Phase IV Study to Assess Safety/Tolerability/Efficacy of Oral Gefitinib 250 mg Versus IV Docetaxel 60 mg/m2 in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCL Cancer of Adenocarcinoma Histology Previous Treated With One Platinum Base Chemotherapy


Inclusion Criteria:



- Locally advanced (Stage IIIB) or metastatic (Stage IV) NSCLC, not amenable to
curative surgery or radiotherapy

- Treatment with one prior chemotherapy regimen, which must have been platinum based*

*Patients must have demonstrated radiological or clinical
progression since completion of previous chemotherapy regimen.

- Adequate hepatic function, defined as BOTH a bilirubin < upper limit of reference
range (ULRR) AND an "Eligible" combination of transaminases (aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)) and alkaline phosphatase
(ALP) below: Not Eligible: AST or ALT > 5xULRR, 1.5xULRR < AST or ALT < 5xULRR and
ALP> ULRR, 1xULRR < AST or ALT < 1.5xULRR and ALP> 2.5xULRR, AST or ALT <= ULRR and
ALP> 5xULRR For more information please refer to TAXOTERE® (docetaxel) prescribing
information

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior therapy with gefitinib or other EGFR TK inhibitors (HER-1 receptor
inhibitors/small molecule or monoclonal antibody therapy)

- Prior docetaxel treatment for NSCLC

- Patients with pre-existing peripheral neuropathy ³ grade 2 (NCI CTCAE criteria)

- Past medical history of interstitial lung disease, drug induced interstitial
disease, radiation pneumonitis that required steroid treatment or any evidence
of clinically active interstitial lung disease
