Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the number of participants whose cancer shrinks or disappears after treatment on the study.
Detailed description
Participants with Stage IIIb or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received previous chemotherapy will be stratified, based on disease histology (squamous versus \[vs.\] nonsquamous).
Interventions
1000 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) on Days 1 and 8 of each cycle \[First 6 cycles (18 weeks)\]
75 mg/m\^2 on Day 1 of each cycle \[First 6 cycles (18 weeks)\]
6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous (IV) infusion, administered once per week (on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle) \[First 6 cycles (18 weeks)\]
400 mg/m\^2 IV infusion, administered on Day 1 of Cycle 1, 250 mg/m\^2 once per week thereafter \[First 6 cycles (18 weeks)\]
Area under the curve (AUC) = 5, Day 1 of each cycle \[First 6 cycles (18 weeks)\] \*Carboplatin will be replaced by Cisplatin

| Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Objective Response Rate (ORR)] | Randomization to measured progressive disease (PD) (up to 16.9 months) | ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving either CR or PR. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version (v) 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and the normalization of the tumour marker level. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Percentage of participants is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR / total number of participants treated \* 100. |
