In study part A:
1: Patients with confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC stage IIIb or stage IV who have failed treatment with erlotinib or gefitinib.
2: patients should have received and failed at least one line of cytotoxic chemotherapy, including a platinum-based regimen in patients eligible for platinum-based therapy for advanced or metastatic disease, however the following patients are exempted:
a) patients with known EGFR mutation shown by accepted methods after therapy with reversible TKI's are eligible without prior chemotherapy, OR
b) patients with clinical benefit to erlotinib or gefitinib for 6 month or more and than experience progression of the disease are eligible without prior chemotherapy
3: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG, R01-0787) score 0,1,or 2.
4: Patients with at least one tumour lesion measured by MRI or CT scan in at least one dimension with the longest diameter to be recorded equal or larger than 20 mm using conventional techniques or equal or larger than 10 mm using spiral CT scan to RECIST 1.1 (R09-0262)
5: Male and female patients of 18 years or older
