Brief summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pazopanib compared with placebo in patients with T \< or = 5 cm, N0 (stage I according to TNM 2009) completely resected NSCLC.

Detailed description: The study will be conducted in two phases as follows:

* The Phase II component of the study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centre study performed in France only. After undergoing NSCLC resection, 140 patients will be randomized to receive either pazopanib 400 mg per day or placebo for 24 weeks.
* The Phase III component of the study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centre study performed internationally. Patients who have completed the Phase II component of the study will be followed and included in the Phase III. Additional patients will also be recruited to a planned total of 355 patients per treatment arm. New patients will be randomized to receive either pazopanib 400 mg per day or placebo for 24 weeks.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Complete resection of the primary tumour and local extension has to be performed. All margins must be free of microscopical disease. At the time of resection, a complete mediastinal lymph-node resection or lymph-node sampling is required. Surgeons are encouraged to dissect or sample all accessible nodal levels.
2. Single surgically resected pathological stage I NSCLC lesion: consisting of a tumor \< 5 cm in greatest dimension (see TNM staging on Appendix 10).
3. No regional lymph node involvement.
4. Pre-operative petscan
5. Satisfactory healing of surgical wound.
6. Patients \>= 18 and \< 70 years of age.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 or 1.
8. Recruited to the study and available to start treatment investigational product at least 4 weeks but no longer that 8 weeks after the surgical resection of the NSCLC.
9. No approved or investigational anti-cancer therapy concurrently or in the 5 years prior to start of study drug, including tumor embolization, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, biologic therapy, or anti angiogenic therapy (e.g., inhibitors of VEGF or VEGFR).
10. Adequate organ system function
11. Ability to swallow and retain oral medication.
12. 12. A female is eligible to enter and participate in this study if she is of:

    Non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant), including any female who has undergone:
    * Hysterectomy.
    * Bilateral oophorectomy (ovariectomy).
    * Bilateral tubal ligation.
    * Or who is post-menopausal:
    * Patients not using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) must have experienced total cessation of menses for ≥1 year and be greater than 45 years in age, OR, in questionable cases, have a follicle stimulating hormone value \>40 mIU/mL and an estradiol value \<40 pg/mL (\<140 pmol/L).
    * Subject using HRT must have experienced total cessation of menses for ≥ 1 year and be greater than 45 years of age OR have had documented evidence of menopause based on FSH and estradiol concentrations prior to initiation of HRT.

    Childbearing potential, including any female who has had a negative serum pregnancy test within 1 week prior to the first dose of study treatment, preferably as close to the first dose as possible, and agrees to use adequate contraception. Contraceptive methods acceptable to the IFCT, when used consistently and in accordance with both the product label and the instructions of the physician, are as follow:
    * An intrauterine device with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year.
    * Male partner sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia) prior to the female subject's entry and is the sole sexual partner for that female.
    * Complete abstinence from sexual intercourse for 14 days before exposure to investigational product, through the dosing period, and for at least 21 days after the last dose of investigational product.
    * Double-barrier contraception : condom and an occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with a vaginal spermicidal agent (foam/gel/film/cream/suppository)
    * Oral contraceptive, either combined or progestogen alone \[Hatcher, 2004\]
    * Injectable progestogen \[Hatcher, 2004\]
    * Implant of levonorgestrel \[Hatcher, 2004\]
    * Estrogenic vaginal ring \[Hatcher, 2004\]
    * Percutaneous contraceptive patches \[Hatcher, 2004\]

    Female patients who are lactating should discontinue nursing prior to the first dose of study drug and should refrain from nursing throughout the treatment period and for 15 days following the last dose of study drug.

    A male with a female partner of childbearing potential is eligible to enter and participate in the study if he uses a barrier method of contraception or abstinence during the study.
13. French Patients: in France, a patient will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security insurance.

Exclusion Criteria:
