*The effect of vandetanib on MRI parameters was assessed using repeated measures ANOVA, which was fitted to the log-transformed baseline as a covariate and dose as a factor. Point and interval estimates were exponentially back transformed to provide the estimates of the % differences. The preplanned statistical comparisons were between the dose levels and not within dose levels. Only the least squares mean (95% CI) changes are reported within dose.
