completed at least 3 months prior to study entry

- ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status of 0 or 1

- Suitable for flexible bronchoscopy

- Able to give signed informed consent

- Adequate haematological, kidney and liver function:

with Royal College of Radiologists guidelines).

In addition, the following inclusion criteria must be met during the screening period in
order to confirm eligibility for the study treatment

- No evidence of malignant disease activity on screening

- High grade dysplasia on autofluorescence bronchoscopy analysis

- No evidence of pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial lung disease on screening CT

Exclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of any second malignancy within the 5 years from date of enrolment, except
basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell skin cancer, or in situ carcinoma of the cervix
uteri that has been adequately treated with no evidence of recurrent disease for 12
months

- Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or psychiatric disorder that
would interfere with the patient's safety

- Known severe hypersensitivity to Gefitinib or any of the excipients of the product

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

- Pre-existing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

- History of allergy to contrast medium

- Insufficient lung function as determined by either clinical examination or an
arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) of < 9.3kpa

- Inability to swallow oral medications

- Presence of active inflammatory bowel disease, partial or complete bowel obstruction
or chronic diarrhoea or any condition which would interfere with absorption of an
oral drug.

- Past medical history of keratitis

- Past medical history of Sjogren's syndrome

- Concurrent medication with known potent CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers and/or dosing
within 7 days of date of enrolment (e.g.. ketoconazole, rifampin, phenytoin,
carbamazepine, barbiturates or herbal preparations containing St John's
wort/Hypericum perforatum etc.) or use of other concomitant medication incompatible
with study drug (see SmPC)

- Current treatment on another therapeutic clinical trial or previous investigational
agent in the last 12 weeks (supportive care trials or non-treatment trials are
allowed)

- Previous enrolment or treatment in the present study.

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Incidence of high grade dysplasia of the bronchial epithelium in patients at high risk of lung dysplasia

Outcome Description:

Patients will have white/blue light bronchoscopy with biopsy of identified lesions. The incidence of high grade lung epithelial dysplasia will be recorded.

Outcome Time Frame:

during the screening broncoscopy - carried out within the first month post consent

Safety Issue:
