Background: NVBo+P is considered as a standard treatment in M or LA NSCLC. The recent approval of Pem+P as front line chemotherapy (CT) for non SCC demonstrates that today, histology could become a “new guidance” to treat patients (pts). The importance of histological types was highlighted in a phase III trial (Scagliotti. JCO 2008). Moreover, the higher chemosensitivity of non SCC is recognised and reported with other chemotherapies (Ardizzoni. JNCI 2007). In GLOB 3 study, NVBo+P also showed better survival in adenocarcinoma (11.7m) than in SCC (8.9m) (Tan. Ann Oncol. 2009). This trial was set up to assess the efficacy of NVBo+P (Arm A) and Pem+P (Arm B) for pts with Non SCC histological type, evaluated in terms of Disease Control Rate (DCR) (SD+PR+CR). Methods: Pts were randomised to receive q3w NVBo 80 mg/m² D1D8 (60 at Cycle 1) + P 80 mg/m² D1 (Arm A) or Pem 500 mg/m² + P 75 mg/m² D1 (Arm B). After 4 cycles of combination, pts with DCR received single agent NVBo (Arm A) or PEM (Arm B) as maintenance until progression or toxicity. Pts were randomised on a 2/1 basis and stratified according to stage (IIIB - IV - relapse), non SCC confirmed by histology or cytology, gender, smoking status and centre. Results: From 11/09 to 02/11, 153 pts were randomised to Arm A (102 pts) or Arm B (51 pts). DCR after combination and maintenance was 75.0% (95% CI, 65.3 to 83.1) in Arm A and 76.5% (95% CI, 62.5 to 87.2) in Arm B. Median PFS was 4.2 (95% CI, 3.6 to 4.7) and 4.3 months (95% CI, 3.8 to 5.6) in Arm A and Arm B, respectively. Median OS was 10.2 months (95% CI, 7.8 to 11.9) and 10.8 months (95% CI, 7.0 to16.4) in Arm A and Arm B, respectively. During the combination period grade 3/4 neutropenia was 44.0% in Arm A and 18.3% in Arm B but febrile neutropenia was 2% in both arms; grade 3/4 thrombopenia was 0% and 6% in Arm A and Arm B, respectively. Conclusions: Even if the current results should be confirmed in a phase III study, the choice of a platinum-based doublet with oral vinorelbine as front-line chemotherapy could be a useful alternative in non SCC.
