Brief Summary:

This study assigned subjects to either cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/pemetrexed chemotherapy using a genomic based expression profile to determine chemotherapy sensitivity in completely resected early stage non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The vinorelbine-sensitive tumors group received Vinorelbine followed by cisplatin, while the pemetrexed-sensitive tumors group received pemetrexed followed by cisplatin. The primary objective of this trial was to determine whether genomic-based adjuvant chemotherapy treatment increased the 2-year progression-free survival rate in completely resected patients with NSCLC compared to historic controls. Secondary objectives included: 1) estimation of the percentage of completely resected NSCLC tumors that can be adequately analyzed and used to direct specific adjuvant chemotherapy; 2) estimation of the proportion of patients who are assigned to treatment with vinorelbine and pemetrexed; 3) evaluation of drug sensitivity patterns of cisplatin and pemetrexed in both treatment arms; 4) description of the overall median survival experience of treated patients; and 5) assessment of patient understanding and perceptions of participating in a clinical trial evaluating cancer genomics for adjuvant treatment of early stage lung cancer.

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Arm A-Vinorelbine; Resected tumor was used for genomic expression profiling. Patients with a genomic expression pattern suggestive of vinorelbine sensitivity were given cisplatin + vinorelbine.

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. 2-Year Progression-Free Survival Rate in Patients With Completely Resected Stage IB, II, or IIIA NSCLC [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
   Progression-free survival time was defined as the time from initiation of study treatment to the first date of disease progression or death as a result of any cause. Progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as references the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Time was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for patients who were still alive and have not progressed. The two-year progression free survival rate is a percentage, representing the fraction of treated patients who, after two years, are disease free or alive.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Percentage of Patients With Completely Resected NSCLC Tumors That Can Be Analyzed and Used to Direct Adjuvant Chemotherapy [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
   The percentage of patients with completely resected NSCLC tumors who had successful genomic analysis and assigned to treatment among patients. All 31 patients enrolled in the study had completely resected tumors. These tumors included a mixture of squamous and non-squamous histologies as indicated the original protocol. However, an amendment dated January 25, 2010 limited eligibility to patients with non-squamous disease. Given that only 5 patients were accrued into the study after this amendment, results reported will consider all histologies.
2. 2-Year Overall Survival in Patients Treated for NSCLC [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
   Overall survival time was defined as the time from initiation of study treatment to the date of death as a result of any cause. Time was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for patients who were still alive. The two-year overall survival rate is a percentage, representing the fraction of treated patients who, after two years, are alive
3. Patient Understanding and Perceptions of Participating in a Clinical Trial Evaluating Cancer Genomics for Adjuvant Treatment of Early Stage Lung Cancer [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
   Do to space limitations, see the Detailed Description in the study protocol for the wording of the questions used in the Patient Expectations Questionnaire.
4. Compare Drug Sensitivity Patterns of Cisplatin and Pemetrexed in Both Treatment Arms [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
   Using genomics-based prediction models previously developed separately for cisplatin and pemetrexed, the probability that each patient was sensitive or would respond to treatment was computed. Quartiles describe the patterns of drug sensitivity probabilities. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quartiles are the sensitivity levels at which 25%, 50%, and 75% of patients have lower sensitivity. There is lack of integrity regarding the available data due to irreproducible genomic signatures. Therefore the results of this outcome are not presented.

2. Concurrent administration of any other anti-tumor therapy (see #4 inclusion for exceptions).
3. Inability to comply with protocol or study procedures.
4. Active infection requiring IV antibiotics, antifungal or antiviral agents, that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate therapy.
5. Major surgery (other than definitive lung cancer surgery) within two weeks of study or other serious concomitant systemic disorders that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the patient or compromise the patient's ability to complete the study.
