Inclusion Criteria

Patients must satisfy all the following inclusion criteria before they are allowed to participate in the study:
- patient must give written informed consent.
- Chemo-naive patients superior or equal to 18 years
- Performance status KPS superior or equal to 70% (ECOG/WHO PS 0-1)
- Squamous histologically or cytologically (fine needle aspiration is acceptable) proven non-small cell lung cancer.
- Stage IIIB (with supra-clavicular nodal metastases), stage IV or relapsing (locally or distant) after a local treatment. Patients not suitable for loco-regional treatment.
- Life expectancy more than 12 weeks.
- Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal functions:
· Neutrophils superior or equal to 2.0x109/l, platelets superior or equal to 100x109/l, Haemoglobin superior or equal to 10 g/dl or 6.2 mmol/l.
· Total bilirubin inferior or equal to 1.5xULN, Transaminases < 2.5xULN, Alkaline Phosphatases < 5xULN (upper Limit of Normal).
· Creatinine < ULN (if limit value, creatinine clearance superior or equal to 60 ml/min).
- Prior therapy:
· Surgery: patients may have had previous surgery for NSCLC.
· Chemotherapy: patients must not have had systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
· Radiation therapy: patient may have received prior radiotherapy but not on the site used to assess response. A minimum of 4 weeks interval must have elapsed.
- Presence of at least one measurable lesion which has not been previously irradiated (RECIST criteria. Version 1.1). Measurable lesions (measured in at least one dimension, longest diameter to be recorded) as superior or equal 20 mm with conventional techniques or as superior or equal 10 mm with CT scan. Physical
examination and ultrasound will not be considered as objective tumour assessments.
- Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical conditions potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be assessed with the patient before randomisation in the trial.
- Women of childbearing potential must be using a medically accepted method of contraception (i.e. oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices) to avoid pregnancy during the 2 months preceding the start of study treatment, throughout the study period and for up to 3 months after the last dose of study treatment in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimised. Women of childbearing
potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to the start of study treatment.
- Fertile men must be using an effective method of birth control if their partners are women of childbearing potential during study period and up to 3 months following the last dose of treatment.
- The patient must have access to social insurance according to local regulations.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with at least one of the following criteria will not be included:

- Patients with a local relapse, which is liable to be treated by radiation therapy.
- Previous radiotherapy in the only site used to assess response.
- Radiotherapy within the previous 4 weeks.
- Active central nervous system disorder, brain metastasis or leptomeningeal involvement.
- Symptomatic neuropathy (sensory) superior or equal to grade 2 according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI ? CTC version 2).
- Concomitant/uncontrolled medical disorder (superior cava vein syndrome, cardiac failure or myocardial infarction within the previous 3 months, uncontrolled hypertension or arrhythmia, uncontrolled hypercalcaemia, active infection requiring i.v. antibiotics within 2 weeks before the beginning of treatment).
- Weight loss > 10% within the previous 3 months.
- Long term oxygen therapy.
- Symptomatic ascite or pericardial effusion.
- History of another malignancy within the past five years except basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
- Concomitant treatment with another anticancer or any experimental drug within 30 days prior to the
treatment period.
- Women if pregnant or lactating or with positive pregnancy test at inclusion; woman of child-bearing potential who did not use or is unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of contraception to avoid pregnancy during the 2 months preceding the start of study treatment, for the entire study period and for up to 3 months after the last dose of study treatment;
- Sexually active fertile man not using effective birth control during the study and up to 3 months after the last dose of study treatment if his partner is a woman of child-bearing potential.
