A Randomized Multicenter Phase II Study of Gemcitabine/Platinum/Cetuximab Versus Gemcitabine/Platinum as First-Line Treatment for Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the number of patients with non-small cell
lung cancer whose tumor responds to the treatments given in this study.

of disease for 5 years will be allowed to enter the trial).
- Symptomatic or uncontrolled metastases in the central nervous system (CNS).
- Peripheral neuropathy.
- Inadequate hematologic function defined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC)
<1,500/mm^3, a platelet count <100,000/mm^3, or a hemoglobin level < 9g/dL.
- Inadequate liver function.
