Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Chemotherapy-naive patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma and large-cell carcinoma, classified as stage IIIB not amenable to curative treatment or stage IV
- With at least one unidimensionally measurable lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors;
- with an Eastern CooperativeOncology Group performance status of 0 or 1,
- At least 18 years of age
- adequate bone marrow reserve and organ function including calculated creatinine clearance 45 mL/min based on the standard Cockcroft and Gault formula.
- Prior radiation therapy was permitted if it was completed at least 4 weeks before study treatment
- patients had fully recovered from its acute effects.
Exclusion Criteria:
- peripheral neuropathy > National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria grade 1
- progressive brain metastases,
- uncontrolled third-space fluid retention before study entry.
- Patients unable to interrupt aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or if they were unable or unwilling to take folic acid, vitamin B12, or corticosteroids.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
A phase III trial has demonstrated that in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cisplatin/ pemetrexed provides similar efficacy with better tolerability and more convenient administration than cisplatin/gemcitabine. Moreover,this trial showed survival differences based on histologic type. The investigators want to research some biomarkers that can predict clinical outcomes.
