Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Must have advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has not been previously treated with any chemotherapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: A
Solution, IV, Cetuximab: 400mg/m2 on Day 1 then given weekly at 250mg/m2 starting on Day 8 + Gemcitabine given at 1250mg/m2 (Day 1 & Day 8 of each cycle) + Cisplatin given at 75mg/m2 or Carboplatin AUC=5, Cycle of therapy is every 3 weeks. Cetuximab is given weekly, Maximum of 6 cycles (18 weeks) Cetuximab will be continued during the period following discontinuation of chemotherapy, until disease progression or cetuximab intolerance.
Other Names:
  • Erbitux
Active Comparator: B
