• Untreated or unstable metastases to the central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Patients who have completed local therapy and have discontinued the use of steroids for this indication at least 4 weeks prior to commencing treatment and in whom stability has been proven by at least 2 CT or MRI scans obtained at least 4 weeks apart are permitted Any of the following laboratory parameters: hemoglobin < 9 g/dL (5.6 mmol/L); neutrophils <1.5 x 109/L; platelets <100 x 109/L; serum bilirubin >25 mol/L (1.5 mg/dL); liver function tests with values >3 x upper limit of normal (ULN); renal function with serum creatinine >1.5 ULN or creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min Positive history of HIV, active hepatitis B or active hepatitis C or severe/uncontrolled intercurrent illness or infection Patients with centrally located non-small cell lung cancers and squamous cell lung cancers Clinically significant cardiac impairment or unstable ischemic heart disease including a myocardial infarction within six months of study start Patients with marked Baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (QTc interval > 450 msec for males or > 470 msec for females) using the Fridericia method for QTc analysis Bleeding or thrombotic disorders, or using therapeutic dosages of anticoagulants, such as warfarin. Occasional use of NSAIDs and antiplatelet agents such as aspirin, clopidogrel, aggrenox and dipyridamole are not considered exclusionary if taken <7 days per 28 days. However, if the patient requires chronic use (>/=7 days out of 28 days) of full doses of aspirin or NSAIDs then the patient is excluded. Concomitant antiplatelet agents and NSAIDs should be used with caution Requirement for chronic use of full dose aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) Poorly controlled hypertension (defined as requiring changes in any hypertensive regimen within 1 week three months of study entry) or patients diagnosed with hypertension based on repeat blood pressure measurements of >160/90 mmHg at Screening >1+ proteinuria on urine dipstick testing or 30 mg/dL A history of gastrointestinal malabsorption or having undergone surgery requiring gastrointestinal anastomoses within four weeks of starting therapy or who have not recovered from major surgery within three weeks of starting therapy History of alcoholism, drug addiction, or any psychiatric or psychological condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would impair study compliance Any treatment with investigational drugs within 30 days before the start of the study Previous treatment with E7080 Known intolerance to temozolomide (or any of the excipients) Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding; women of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test at Screening or no pregnancy test. Women of childbearing potential unless (1) surgically sterile or (2) using adequate measures of contraception (including two forms of contraception, one of which must be a barrier method) in the opinion of the Investigator (revised per Amendment 04).
