• Presence of measurable disease (according to RECIST criteria).

• Relapsed or refractory disease incurable by surgery or radiotherapy.

• Evidence of objective progression within the last 6 months (RECIST) documented by measurements of disease,

• Patients must either not be eligible for chemotherapy (for instance because of age, or because of a biological condition, or because of patient-refusal) or must have received no more than one combination or two single agents chemotherapy regimen for advanced disease; (neo) adjuvant therapy is not counted towards this requirement.

• At least 18 years of age

• WHO performance status 0 or 1

• Adequate bone marrow function

• Adequate hepatic function

• Adequate renal function

• PT / PTT less than 1.2 x UNL.

• LVEF above the lower limit of normal for the institution, based on ECHO or MUGA

• Able to swallow and retain oral medication

• Women should not be of childbearing potential and agree to use contraceptive methods (Oral contraceptives are not allowed).

• Absence of any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric or other condition (including lab abnormality) that could interfere with patient safety or obtaining informed consent.

• Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be assessed with the patient before registration in the trial.

• Written informed consent is given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations before patient registration/randomization.

Exclusion Criteria:

• history of leptomeningeal or brain metastases

• history of malignancies other than sarcoma (except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast, or the patient has been free of any other malignancies for greater than 3 years).

• Class II, III or IV heart failure (NYHA classification). A patient who has a history of class II heart failure and is asymptomatic on treatment may be considered eligible.

• Arterial or venous thrombosis, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cardiac angioplasty or stenting within the last 3 months

• Uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension. Initiation or adjustment of BP medications is permitted prior to study entry, provided that patient has 3 consecutive BP readings less than 150 / 90 mm Hg each separated by a minimum of 24 hrs. These readings need to be collected prior to registration in the study.

• Women of childbearing potential, who are pregnant (negative serum pregnancy test at entry) or lactating.

• Therapeutic dose warfarin. Low molecular weight heparin and prophylactic low dose warfarin are permitted. PT/INR and PPT must meet the above inclusion criteria.

• Concurrent therapy with any specifically prohibited medication or requirement for using any of these medications during treatment with pazopanib

• Major surgery, hormonal therapy (other than replacement), chemotherapy or radiotherapy, immunotherapy or other investigational agent within the last 28 days and/or not recovered from prior therapy within the last 28 days. Use of erythropoietin is considered supportive care and is permitted. The patient should have recovered from prior surgery and have no open wounds.

• History of malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function or major resection of the stomach or small bowel that could affect absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of study drugs. No unresolved bowel obstruction or diarrhea.
