Brief summary
The Primary Objective is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary objectives are: * To compare the disease control rates of different doses of Docetaxel+Cisplatin as first-line treatment according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria; * To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR); * To evaluate the time to disease progression (TTP); * To evaluate the overall survival (OS); * To evaluate the toxicity.
Detailed description
The study consists in: * A first line treatment phase: participants receive 4 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle contains 3 weeks) with either docetaxel (75 mg/m2) plus cisplatin (75 mg/m2) or docetaxel (60 mg/m2) plus cisplatin (75 mg/m2) , * A maintenance treatment phase: participants with disease control (complete response \[CR\], partial response \[PR\] or stable disease \[SD\]) after the initial treatment receive up to 6 cycles of chemotherapy with docetaxel (60 mg/m2) or best supportive care (BSC). * A follow-up period from the end of study treatment until participant death or end of study.
Interventions
Formulation: concentrated solution for intravenous infusion (IV) Route(s) of administration: 1-hour IV
Formulation: concentrated solution for intravenous infusion (IV) Route(s) of administration: 1-3-hour IV
Any treatment including palliative radiotherapy for pain relief-but not chemotherapy - that is considered appropriate by the investigator

Exclusion criteria
* Other tumour type than advanced / metastatic NSCLC in recent 5 years (except cone-biopsied carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix or adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin). * Presence of symptomatic central nervous system metastases * Inadequate liver function * total bilirubin \> 1 UNL * ALT and/or AST\>1.5 UNL associated with alkaline phosphatase \> 2.5 UNL * inadequate renal function (creatinine \> 1.0 times UNL and in case of limit value, creatinine clearance \< 60 mL/min) * Prior radiation therapy, or surgery operation within 4 weeks * Prior use of taxoids * Active infection, or serious concomitant systemic disorder incompatible with the study * Childbearing potential but unwilling to use of an approved contraceptive method * Receive treatment from other clinical trials during this study treatment * History of hypersensitivity to any of study medication * Other serious concomitant abnormal or illness The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Progression-free survival (PFS) during the maintenance treatment phase | From 2nd randomization to progression or death of any cause (every 2 cycles (6 weeks) during study treatment, and then every 8 weeks during follow-up period) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Disease control rate (DCR) during the first line treatment phase | Every 2 cycles (6 weeks) |
| Overall response rate (ORR) during the first line treatment phase | Every 2 cycles (6 weeks) |
| Time to disease progression (TTP) during the maintenance treatment phase | From 2nd randomization up to disease progression (every 2 cycles (6 weeks)) |
| Overall survival (OS) | From 1st randomization to death of any cause (every 2 cycles (6 weeks) during study treatment, and then every 8 weeks during follow-up period) |
