摘要: Background Gemcitabine plus cisplatin is a standard treatment for stages IIIB and IV nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This randomized phase II study evaluated 3-week versus 4-week schedule of gemcitabine-cisplatin as first line Chinese patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods Patients were to receive 75 mg/m(2) on day 1 either gemcitabine 1250 days 8 21-day cycle (3-week group) or 1000 1, 15 28-day (4-week group). Results One hundred enrolled in this study. The response rate was 24% (12/51 patients) the group 27% (13/49 group. There no statistically significant differences between two groups survival (hazard ratio: 1.19; 95% CI: 0.68 - 2.09) median 12.1 months 13.8 respectively. grade 3/4 toxicity 55% compared 86% (P = 0.001). difference incidence haematological toxicities did not reach statistical significance (3-week: 37%, 4-week: 57%), however drug related neutropenia 27%, 51%) thrombocytopenia 8%, 31%) significantly lower Grade nonhaematological less (33% cf 63%; P 0.005). Conclusions efficacy endpoints all favour cisplatin, these significance. Fewer observed
