Purpose
In France, lung cancer is responsible for more than 30000 each year. Progress was made in treatment of lung cancer in the last five years due to targeted therapies and to strategical evolutions consisting in a best adjustment of treatments. Maintenance strategies is one of this strategical evolution. It is based on maintaining continuous therapeutical pression in order to preserve the therapeutical benefit obtained by the first line (induction chemotherapy). Several clinical trials showed that maintenance strategies increase the duration of controlled disease.
There is two types of maintenance strategies:
- Continuous maintenance : prolongation of the treatment initially associated with platin until progression
- Switch maintenance : introduction of a new treatment after the end of induction chemotherapy
The aim of this study is to compare two maintenance strategies
- A continuous maintenance by pemetrexed
- A switch maintenance or a continuous maintenance according to the response of induction chemotherapy.

| Official Title: | Phase III Study Evaluating Two Strategies of Maintenance, One With Pemetrexed in Continuous Strategy and One According to the Response of Induction Chemotherapy, in Non Squamous Non Small Cell Lung Cancer of Advanced Stage |
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: around 20 months ]
- Disease free survival [ Time Frame: Around 5 months ]
- Control and response rate [ Time Frame: After 4 cycles ]
- Safety analysis [ Time Frame: Around 5 months ]Number of patients with at least one adverse event in each arm and number of adverse events with the relationship, intensity and the cycle of appearance
- treatment exposure [ Time Frame: Around 5 months ]
