10. Male patients willing to use contraception (upon study entry and during the course of the study or have undergone vasectomy.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease. (Note: prior adjuvant treatment for non-metastatic disease is allowed, however adjuvant therapy must have been stopped ≥ 1 year before Visit C).
2. History of or current brain metastases.
3. Abnormal ≥ CTC Grade 3 laboratory values for hematology (Hb, WBC, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets), liver (serum bilirubin, ALAT or ASAT) and renal function (serum creatinine).
4. Metastatic second malignancy.
