Name Time Method Main Objective: To demonstrate overall survival (OS) improvement for aflibercept + docetaxel compared to docetaxel + placebo as second line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC);Secondary Objective: To compare efficacy of aflibercept to placebo for: Progression Free Survival (PFS), Response Rate (RR) as per RECIST criteria (JNCI 2000), Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) assessed by the Lung cancer symptom scale (LCSS) questionnaire - To assess the overall safety of the two treatment arms. - To assess the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in this patient population. - To determine immunogenicity of IV aflibercept (anti- aflibercept antibody detection) in the same population of patients;Primary end point(s): Overall survival (OS) defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause
