You may participate in this study if:
 Requirement
1Histologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable solid tumors for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective or patient is intolerant of & for whom a taxane-based treatment is appropriate.
2If patient diagnosed with advanced prostate ca, must have progressed on or have been intolerant of a Docetaxel based regimen.
3SWOG PS 0-2.
4Life expectancy at least 3 mos.
518 y/o and above.
6No history of torsades de pointes ventricular arrhythmia.
7QTc interval < 450 msec on bsl EKG.
8If patient has QTc interval 450 msec or greater, on screening EKG, in the presence of normal serum Calcium & Mg, EKG may be repeated twice, at least 24 hrs apart. The average QTc from the 3 EKGs must be < 450 msec to be eligible. Ineligible if has QTc with Bazett’s correction that is unmeasurable.
9If receiving a drug that has risk of QTc prolongation, QTc must be < 460 msec.
10If female, must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Women of reproductive potential must have negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to treatment. Post-menopausal women must have been amenorrheic for 12 mos or more to be considered of non-childbearing potential.
11Must agree to use contraception at study initiation & for the duration of study participation. Sexually active males must also use a reliable & appropriate method of contraception.
12Recovered from acute toxicities from previous surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
13ANC 1500 or greater; Platelets > 100,000; Hgb > 9.0.
14Serum creat 1.5 mg/dl or less, or CrCL > 50 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula.
15AST/ALT 2.5 (or less) x ULN [5.0 (or less) x ULN if with liver mets].
16Alkaline Phosphatase 2.5 (or less) x ULN [5.0 (or less) x ULN if with bone mets, & no evidence of liver mets, & bilirubin equal to or less than ULN); [5.0 (or less) x ULN if with liver mets].
17Serum bilirubin 1.5 or less.
18If with peripheral neuropathy, must be Gr 1 or less.
19Potassium 4.0 or greater; Serum calcium (ionized or adjusted for albumin) within normal; Magnesium within normal (all with or without supplementation).
20No other concomitant treatment directed at the cancer. All prior therapy must have been completed 4 wks or more prior to enrollment.
21Signed Informed Consent, including HIPAA authorization.


You may not participate in this study if:
1Colon or rectal cancer.
2Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or any concurrent condition which makes study participation undesirable or which would jeopardize study compliance.
3Clinically significant cardiovascular event [e.g. heart attack, Superior Vena Cava Syndrome, NYHA heart disease Classification of 2 or greater] within 3 mos before entry, or cardiac disease that increases risk of ventricular arrhythmia.
4History of arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) which is symptomatic or requires therapy (Gr 3) or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Atrial fibrillation, if controlled on medication, is not excluded.
5QTc prolongation with other medications that required discontinuation of that medication.
6Congenital long QT syndrome, or 1st degree relative with unexplained sudden death at < 40 y/o.
7Presence of Left Bundle Branch Block.
8Any concomittant medication that may cause QTc prolongation or induce Torsades de Pointes. Drugs that cannot be stopped are allowed; must be monitored closely.
9Hypertension not controlled by medical therapy (Systolic BP >160 or Diastolic BP >100).
10Currently active diarrhea that may affect ability to absorb Vandetanib or tolerate diarrhea.
11Investigational agents within 30 days prior to study treatment.
12Last dose of prior chemotherapy <4 wks before start of study treatment.
13Last radiotherapy 4 wks or less before study treatment, except palliative radiation.
14Unresolved toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy > Gr 1.
15Major surgery within 4 wks or incompletely healed surgical incision before study treatment.
16Previous enrollment in current study.
