Brief summary

At present, the treatment of non-squamous cell lung cancer is based on chemotherapy with platinum eventually associated with bevacizumab. A new treatment begins at progression. In colo-rectal metastatic cancer, it was demonstrated that the first-line of treatment could be administered according to a stop and go strategy respecting therapeutic breaks between sequences of identical treatment. During these therapeutic breaks, a treatment of maintenance is possibly better than an absence of treatment. These plans benefit to the patients in terms of efficiency but also in terms of toxicity, in particular neurological. The question is to know if this strategy is feasible in lung cancer.

Interventions

DRUGCisplatin

75 mg/m2, IV (in the vein) on day 1 of each 21 day cycle. During 3 cycles of each sequence

DRUGBevacizumab

7,5 mg/kg, IV (in the vein) on day 1 of each 21 day cycle until progression for each sequence

DRUGPemetrexed

500 mg/m2, IV (in the vein) on day 1 of each 21 day cycle. During 3 cycles for the 1st sequence and until progression for the 2nd sequence.
