Summary
Brief summary
This study is a randomized Phase 3 study comparing pemetrexed and cisplatin combination to
gemcitabine and cisplatin for the treatment of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCSLC).
Gemcitabine plus cisplatin is currently the standard of care for NSCLC. It is thought that
pemetrexed plus cisplatin may be as effective and may have fewer side effects than the
standard of care.
