1. Patients with confirmed histopathological or cytological diagnosis of inoperable advanced (stage IIIB/IV) primary adenocarcinoma (including bronchioalveolar cell carcinoma) of the lung. 2. All patients must have documented stage IIIB disease with malignant pleural or pericardial effusions or stage IV disease. 3. Patients may have newly diagnosed or recurrent/relapsed disease. 4.

Prior radiation therapy is allowed, provided that at least one (1) area of measurable (by CT scan) or evaluable disease by RECIST (Version 1.1) that has not been subject to prior irradiation. 6. Prior prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) or radiation therapy are allowed provided that any such therapy is completed and any radiation-induced sequelae are recovered at least 21 days before receiving study treatment. 7. Patients with an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. 8. Patients who are at least 18 years of age. 9. Patients with documented stable CNS metastases with no cognitive deficits, or progressive sensory or motor deficits or seizures during the last 21 days are eligible. Patients must have discontinued anti-seizure medications and steroids at least 21 days prior to patient randomization. 10. Patients must have fully recovered from any prior major surgical or diagnostic staging procedure (e.g., thoracotomy, mediastinoscopy), and have a post-operative status of at least 30 days. 11. Patients must have adequate bone marrow, adequate hepatic function, and a baseline serum creatinine level documented by specific laboratory criteria: • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L • Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL • Platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L • Total bilirubin < the upper limit of normal (ULN) • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST/SGOT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT/SGPT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × ULN • Baseline serum creatinine level no greater than 1.5 mg/dL or 133 μmol/L. • Magnesium ≥ 1.7 mg/dL 12. Female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test, and must agree to use an acceptable contraceptive method during the study. Male patients with partners of child-bearing potential must also agree to use an adequate method of contraception. 13. Patients must have been disease-free at least 2 years for other malignancies, excluding: • Prior surgical resection of primary adenocarcinoma of the lung that occurred more than one year prior to randomization, • Curatively-treated basal cell carcinoma, • Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or • Carcinoma in situ of the cervix.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Patients with small cell, squamous cell, large cell, or undifferentiated, or any form of mixed (e.g., small cell and adenocarcinoma or squamous and adenocarcinoma) histopathological or cytological diagnosis of primary lung cancer. 2. Stage IIIB disease without malignant pleural or pericardial effusions, or Stage IIIIA disease. 3. Patients with adenocarcinoma arising from any primary sites other than the lung. 4. Patients with recent onset (within 6 months of randomization) of congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Classification Class II or greater), angina pectoris, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled ventricular tachycardia, myocardial infarction, stroke, or transient ischemic attacks. 5. Patients with unstable CNS metastases (characterized by progressive sensory/motor impairment, cognitive/speech impairment, or seizure activity within 21 days of initial study treatment. 6. Patients who do not have at least one (1) measurable or non-measurable but assessable disease site that has not been previously irradiated. 7. Patients who are known to be HIV-positive. 8. Patients with active infections (including viral, fungal, bacterial, rickettsial, mycobacterial, or parasitic), uncontrolled high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled seizures (not due to CNS metastases) within the last 6 months, or other serious underlying medical condition. 9. Patients with documented hypersensitivity to any of the study medications or supportive agents that may be used. 10. Patients who are pregnant or are breastfeeding. 11. Patients with a life expectancy of less than 5 months.
