A Phase 2,Open-label Study of First Line Pemetrexed Plus Cisplatin Versus Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin for Advanced and Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Biomarker Study
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating cisplatin, dexamethasone,vitamin B12, folic acid and cisplatin, gemcitabine for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Efficacy. Completed, enrolled 288 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A phase III trial has demonstrated that in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cisplatin/ pemetrexed provides similar efficacy with better tolerability and more convenient administration than cisplatin/gemcitabine. Moreover,this trial showed survival differences based on histologic type. The investigators want to research some biomarkers that can predict clinical outcomes.
