Intervention
Patients with potentially resectable clinical stage IB, II, and selected III NSCLC received gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 days 1, 8 and docetaxel 30 mg/m2 days 1, 8 every 21 days for 3 cycles. Patients were restaged after treatment and resected 3-6 weeks later. If patients were inoperable, had incomplete resections or N2 disease, docetaxel 20 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC = 1.5 weekly x 7 and radiation to 63 Gy was administered

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

Population: All patients who underwent a thoracotomy were assigned a pathologic response category.

A pathological complete response (pCR) was defined as having no residual cancer at the primary site or in regional lymph nodes on pathologic review.

Pathologic Complete Response Rate
0 Percentage of participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 19 months

Population: All patients were assessed for progression free survival after a median follow up of 19 months.

Progression-free survival was calculated as the elapsed time between the date of study registration and the date of recurrence or death from any cause.

If patients were inoperable, had incomplete resections or N2 disease, docetaxel 20 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC = 1.5 weekly x 7 and radiation to 63 Gy was administered
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
9.9 Months
Interval 5.9 to 13.9

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

Population: Patients who were assessable after completion of 9 weeks of treatment were evaluated and assigned a response category.

Overall response rate is the percentage of patients with complete response or partial response per RECIST v.1 Criteria. Complete response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all nontarget lesions for at least 4 weeks. Partial Response (PR) = At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters.
