Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Vandetanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin...

- No significant cardiovascular events within the past 3 months, including the following:
- Myocardial infarction
- Superior vena cava syndrome
- NYHA class II-IV congestive heart failure
- No cardiac disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmia
- No prior arrhythmia (e.g., multifocal premature ventricular contractions, bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia, or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation) that is symptomatic or requires treatment (CTCAE grade 3)
- Atrial fibrillation allowed provided it is controlled with medication
- No asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia
- No hypertension not controlled by medical therapy (i.e., systolic blood pressure \[BP\] \> 160 mm Hg or diastolic BP \> 100 mm Hg)
- No QTc prolongation with other medication that required discontinuation of that medication
- No congenital long QT syndrome or 1st degree relative with unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age
- QTc is \< 480 with Bazett's correction on screening ECG at baseline
- No presence of left bundle branch block
- No active diarrhea \> CTC grade 1
- No prior severe hypersensitivity reaction to docetaxel or other drugs formulated with polysorbate 80
- No prior allergic reactions to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to study drugs
- No other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude study participation
- No other malignancy within the past 5 years, except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia, or localized prostate cancer with a current PSA of \< 1.0 mg/dL on 2 successive evaluations ≥ 3 months apart, with the most recent evaluation performed within the past 4 weeks
- No peripheral neuropathy \> grade 1
- No blood donation during and for 3 months after completion of study treatment
- No severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or other medical condition, including mental illness or substance abuse, that would preclude study participation
- PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- Recovered from prior therapy
- No prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease
- Prior chemotherapy given as part of a definitive treatment plan (e.g., neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy) allowed
- More than 6 months since prior oxaliplatin and docetaxel as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy
- More than 4 weeks since prior major surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, investigational agents, or other cancer therapy
- No prior anti-VEGF or EGFR therapy, including bevacizumab
- More than 2 weeks since prior and no concurrent potent CYP3A4 inducers (e.g.,rifampin, rifabutin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and Hypericum perforatum \[St. John's wort\])
- More than 2 weeks since prior and no concurrent medications known to cause QTc prolongation or to induce torsades de pointes
- No other concurrent chemotherapy, systemic antineoplastic therapy, or investigational therapy
- No concurrent radiotherapy, unless for local control of bone pain
- No concurrent cold cap or iced mouth rinses for prevention of alopecia or stomatitis
- No concurrent routine prophylactic use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or pegfilgrastim
