E.2 Objective of the trial |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Women with baseline estradiol >30 pg/mL (Women on hormone replacement therapy are allowed if baseline estradiol >30 pg/mL). 2. Histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC. (Note: Sputum cytology alone is not acceptable for cell type. Cytologic specimens obtained by brushings, washings, or needle aspiration of a defined lesion or from a pleural effusion are acceptable). Patients may have either measurable or nonmeasurable disease according to RECIST. 3. ECOG performance score (PS) of 0, 1, or 2 defined as: 0 = Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction 1 = Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work 2 = Ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities and up and about more than 50% of waking hours. 4. Patients must meet one of the following criteria: • Recurrent disease following completion of radiation or surgery • Stage IIIB who are not candidates for combined modality therapy (primary radiation therapy or surgery), or • Stage IV. 5. Age ≥18 years. 6. Adequate bone marrow function demonstrated by absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5X 109/L and platelet count ≥100 X 109/L. 7. Hemoglobin ≥10 g/dL (may be achieved with transfusion). 8. Adequate renal function demonstrated by creatinine ≤ 1.5 X the upper limit of normal (ULN). 9. Adequate hepatic function demonstrated by all of the following • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 ULN (CTC grade 1) (patients with Gilbert’s Syndrome or other hereditary bilirubin defects may be included regardless of bilirubin levels) and • If liver metastases are not present, SGOT and SGPT ≤2.5 x ULN (CTC grade 0 or 1), otherwise SGOT and SGPT must be ≤5 x ULN (CTC grade 0 to 2). • Alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN except for elevated alkaline phosphatase with laboratory documentation that demonstrates bone origin. 10. Life expectancy ≥12 weeks 11. Patients with known brain metastases must have received standard antitumor treatment (e.g. whole brain radiation, stereotactic radioablation, or surgery) for their CNS metastases as defined by the site’s institutional standards. Neurologic function must have been stable for 2 weeks before randomization and patients must either be off steroid therapy for their brain metastases or on a tapering regimen. Patients must have recovered from therapy for their brain metastases. 12. Patients who have had major surgery must be fully recovered from the surgery. 13. Ability to comply with the visit schedule and assessments required by the protocol. 14. For patients of reproductive potential, commitment to use adequate contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last dose of study drug. 15. Signed approved informed consent, with understanding of study procedures including follow-up for survival. 16. Agreement to begin study therapy within 8 calendar days after randomization.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. ECOG performance score (PS) of 0, 1, 3, or 4 defined as: 3 = Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours 4 = Completely disabled. Cannot carry on any self-care. Totally confined to bed or chair 2. Known hypersensitivity to the excipients or the study drug (either CT-2103, paclitaxel, or carboplatin that the patient will receive. 3. Evidence of small cell carcinoma, carcinoid, or mixed small cell/non-small cell histology. 4. Weight loss >10% in previous 6 months 5. LDH > 600 IU/L (central laboratory) regardless of weight loss 6. Both LDH > 400 IU/L (central laboratory) and ≥ 5% weight loss in previous 6 months 7. BMI >35 8. Any prior systemic chemotherapy for the treatment of lung cancer. This includes systemic radiosensitizers used to treat brain metastases and any biologic agent. 9. Local palliative radiotherapy < 7 days before randomization. 10. Radiation with curative intent < 30 days before randomization. 11. Concurrent primary malignancies except for carcinoma in situ or non-melanoma skin cancer. 12. Grade 2 or greater neuropathy. 13. Evidence of significant unstable neurological symptoms within the 4 weeks before study randomization. (If unstable neurologic symptoms resulted from brain metastases, patient must meet inclusion criteria number 10). 14. Clinically significant active infection for which active therapy is underway. 15. Investigational therapy within 4 weeks before randomization, unless local requirements are more stringent. 16. Unstable medical conditions including unstable angina or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months before randomization. Patients with evidence of cardiac conduction abnormalities are eligible if their cardiac status is stable. 17. Pregnant women or nursing mothers. 18. Any circumstance at the time of study entry that would preclude completion of the study or the required follow-up.

Overall Survival: The interval between the date of randomization and death due to any cause. The overall survival for patients who are alive at their date of last contact, including those lost to follow-up, will be censored at the date of last contact.
