• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 148

Inclusion Criteria

1. Men or women, at least 18 years of age
2. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of stage IIIB or IV NSCLC
3. Presence of measurable disease per RECIST criteria
4. Candidate for up to 6 cycles of a 21-day chemotherapy regimen of gemcitabine and either carboplatin or cisplatin
5. Body weight > 40 kg
6. Hemoglobin =12.0 g/dL, but not exceeding the upper limit of the normal range, with:
a. No need for ESAs at randomization
b. No history of anemia due to factors other than cancer/chemotherapy (e.g., iron, B12 or folate deficiencies, hemolysis, or bleeding)
7. Neutrophil count within normal range
8. Platelet count within 100,000 to 450,000/µL
9. ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 (Attachment 7)
10. Creatinine clearance = 40 ml/min, per Cockroft-Gault formula Estimated creatinine clearance (ml/min) = [[140 - age(yr)]*weight(kg)]/[72*serum Cr(mg/dL)]
(multiply by 0.85 for women)
11. Negative serum ß human chorionic gonadotropin (ßhCG) in women of childbearing potential
12. Women must agree to not get pregnant during the study.
13. Men must agree to use a double barrier method of birth control and not donate sperm from the first dose of study drug through 30 days after receiving the last dose of study drug.
14. Willing to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol.
15. Subjects must have signed an informed consent document indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study.
16. To participate in the optional pharmacogenomic component of this study, subjects must have signed the informed consent form for pharmacogenomic research indicating willingness to participate in the pharmacogenomic component of the study (where local regulations permit). Refusal to consent for this component does not exclude a subject from participation in the clinical study.

Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

1. Central nervous system metastases; with the exception of a subject with stable brain metastases following stereotactic radiosurgery (gamma knife).
2. Prior treatment by systemic therapy or radiation for Stage IIIB or IV NSCLC
3. Prior (within 1 year) adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy for NSCLC
4. Diagnosis of a myeloid malignancy or known history of myelodysplasia
5. Hemoptysis, or active bleeding
6. Planned nonpalliative radiation during the study. Palliative radiation is permitted, at the discretion of the investigator, if the area being treated is small (<15% of body surface area but no pelvic radiation is permitted or no more than 10% of the bone marrow reserve is irradiated).
7. Other malignancies within 5 years prior, except carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or non-melanoma skin cancer.
8. Systemic infection within the last 30 days or major infection requiring hospitalization and antibiotics within the last 14 days

10. Transfusion of platelets or RBCs within 28 days before the planned first dose administration of study medication
11. Neuropathy > Grade 1
12. Currently receiving therapeutic or prophylactic heparin or low molecular weight heparin anticoagulants (warfarin is permitted) or anti-platelet therapy (aspirin and NSAIDS are permitted).
13. Use of growth factors (e.g. G-CSF, GM-CSF, erythropoietins) or IL-11 within 28 days prior to planned first dose of study drug.
14. Prior use of Avastin or Erbitux
15. Received an experimental drug or used an experimental medical device within 30 days prior to planned first dose of study drug administration.
16. Serology positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), hepatitis C antibodies, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies.
17. History of life threatening allergic reactions to food or drugs,including those related to RWJ-800088 (e.g., AMG531, rh-TPO or PEG-MDGF).
18. Major surgery within 30 days prior to Screening visit and/or planned surgery
with a risk of blood loss.
19. Employees of the Investigator or study center, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that Investigator or study center, as well as family members of the employees or the Investigator.
