  • Or considered suitable for treatment for metastatic or recurrent HNC with no prior biological or immunological therapy for disease

Exclusion criteria

  • NSCLC: Have received more than 2 previous chemotherapy regimens or have received the last chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 28 days of first dose of AZD2171
  • HNC: Previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy if received 28 days of first dose of AZD2171

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Standardised Uptake Value (SUVmax) as Measured by 2-[F-18]-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET)

    Time frame: Randomisation until Day 22

    Percentage Change from baseline in Standardised Uptake Value (SUVmax) at Day 22, as Measured by 2-[F-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) Response ((Day 22 SUVmax value - baseline SUVmax value)/baseline SUVmax value)*100

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Arterial Blood Pressure (MAP)

    Time frame: Randomisation until Day 22

    Change from baseline in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) (MAP value at Day 22 - MAP value at baseline).
