Inclusion Criteria

1. Age = 60 years

2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).

3. Absence of sensitizing EGFR mutation and absence of EML4-ALK fusion. Patient is not planned for molecular targeted therapy, including EGFR-directed oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor or ALK-directed oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Patients with molecularly driven NSCLC who cannot receive molecularly targeted therapy for any reason and who are planned for first-line palliative intent chemotherapy will be eligible for the trial.

4. Planned for palliative intent chemotherapy in the first line.

5. ECOG PS 0 to 2 (on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating increasing disability; a score of 0 indicates no symptoms, 1 indicates mild symptoms and restricted in physically strenuous activities but ambulatory and able to do light work; and 2 indicates that the patient is ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to do any work, and is up and about over half of the waking hours)

Exclusion Criteria

1. Known severe hypersensitivity to platinum, pemetrexed or any of the excipients of these products or pre-medications.

2. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g. unstable or uncompensated respiratory, cardiac, hepatic or renal disease) as judged by the investigator
