The study aims to randomize 52 patients with advanced (Stage IV) EGFR mutation negative nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who respond (CR/PR/SD) to 4 cycles of pemetrexed / cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin as first-line therapy. In order to achieve that, approximately 144 treatment naïve patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC need to be enrolled from around 6 investigational sites in Taiwan that have expertise in lung cancer diagnosis.
The hypothesis tested in this study is that gefitinib / pemetrexed as maintenance therapy in patients with advanced (stage IV) EGFR mutation negative nonsquamous NSCLC who respond to 4 cycles of pemetrexed / cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin as first-line therapy will achieve longer PFS than pemetrexed alone. We assume a median PFS of 4 months for patients receiving pemetrexed alone and the hazard ratio of pemetrexed alone compared to gefitinib/pemetrexed would be 0.42. It also indicates that the median PFS in gefitinib/pemetrexed group will be approximately 9.52 months. This is a 2-arm study in a 1:1 randomisation. Assuming an uniform accrual of 12-month with an addition of 12-month follow-up period, the total evaluable number of patients will be 52 to achieve a power of 80% and one-sided significance level of 0.025 to detect such difference between gefitinib/pemetrexed and pemetrexed alone.
Assuming 60% of patients respond (CR/PR/SD) to 4 cycles of pemetrexed/gefitinib, and among them 60% are EGFR mutation negative, 144 patients need to be enrolled to receive 4 cycles of pemetrexed/cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin as first-line therapy.
Besides, the result of anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK) mutation will be retrospectively collected if the mutation is available for study patients during the study period.

| Pemetrexed 500mg/m2 iv | Drug | EGFR mutation negative patients who continuously respond (CR, PR or SD) to the 4th cycle of pemetrexed/ cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either gefitinib/ pemetrexed, or pemetrexed alone as maintenance therapy until progression of disease (PD) or discontinuation of treatment for other reasons. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Progression free survival | Progression of disease will be calculated from the tumour measurements collected at each tumour assessment per the RECIST (V1.1) criteria and/or the date of patient death. | up to 4 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Overall objective tumour response | The RECIST (V1.1) criteria will be used to assess objective tumour response. Details of target and non-target lesions will be collected on the appropriate CRF pages and used to calculate tumour response. Post-baseline tumour evaluations should use the same modality (CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) as used at baseline and should preferably be undertaken at the same institution. |
