(Histological or cytological specimens must be collected via surgical biopsy, brushing, washing or core needle aspiration of a defined lesion. Sputum cytology is not acceptable.) 2.Patients who have progressed while on or following a first-line chemotherapy regimen for Stage IIIb disease (malignant pleural effusion or pericardial effusion that have been confirmed cytologically) or Stage IV disease. Patients who have received bevacizumab and/or EGFR inhibitors in first-line will be eligible 3. Age ≥ 18 years old 4. WHO Performance Status of 0-2 5. Measurable or non-measurable disease per RECIST criteria (Post-text supplement 1) 6. Laboratory values within the range, as defined below, within 2 weeks of randomization: Absolute neutrophils count (ANC) ≥ 2.0 x 109/L Platelets ≥ 100 x109/L Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN (≤ 120 micro mol/L) Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (≤ 25 micro mol/L) Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤ 5 x ULN if liver metastases) International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN Electrolyte values (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium) within ≥1 x LLN and ≤ 1 x ULN. Patients with corrected electrolyte values are eligible Females of child-bearing potential must have negative serum pregnancy test (confirmation of negative urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to initial dosing) 7.
