Nab-Paclitaxel Versus Paclitaxel Plus Carboplatin in Advanced Squamous Cell Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is a randomized, multicenter, open, controlled phase III trial. 388 subjects with stage IIIB who were not eligible for radical surgery or radiotherapy, stage IV or recurrent squamous cell NSCLC were enrolled in this study .The subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups at a 1: 1 ratio, and stratified by sex, ECOG physical status, smoking status, disease staging.

Subjects will receive one of two treatment regimens:

Group A: intravenous infusion of paclitaxel (albumin binding) 260 mg/m2, intravenous infusion, carboplatin area under curve （AUC) = 6, intravenous infusion, starting from randomization, once every 3 weeks, for 4-6 cycles,or progression, or intolerance, or deth or start a new anti-tumor treatment, whichever occurs first.

Group B: paclitaxel injection 175 mg/m2, intravenous infusion, carboplatin AUC= 6, intravenous infusion, starting from randomization, once every 3 weeks, for 4-6 cycles, or progression, or intolerance,or death or start a new anti-tumor treatment, whichever occurs first.The primary end point is overall response rate (ORR),the secondary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety and Quality of Life (QOL).

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

* Accepted the purpose of the trial, the contents , the predicted efficacy, pharmacological effects and the full explanation of the risk and was understood that the subject had signed the informed consent.

* Will hinder the understanding or make informed consent or fill in the questionnaire of dementia, mental state changes or any mental illness;
* Any history of allergic or hypersensitivity to any treatment ingredient;
* In the first 5 years of randomization, there were malignant tumors other than NSCLC, except for the treatment of basal cells or squamous cell skin cancer, localized prostate cancer after radical resection, and ductal carcinoma in situ
* Previously received treatment for advanced/metastatic NSCLC. Note: Allow chemotherapy and radiotherapy to be used as part of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy as long as the treatment has ended at least 12 months before the diagnosis of advanced or metastatic disease.
* Received a taxane-based regimen as a neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy for squamous cell carcinoma ;
* Subjects with ≥2 grade peripheral neuropathy according to CTCAE V 4.03;
* Physical examination and laboratory test results are abnormal ANC：\<1.5×109 / L； PLT：\<100×109/L； Hb: \<90g/L
* Abnormal liver function is defined as:

I) total bilirubin (TBil) level:\> normal upper limit (ULN) 1.5 times; II) 2.5 times the rate of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)\> ULN, and\> 5 times ULN if liver metastases are present

* Definition of renal dysfunction:

Serum creatinine\> ULN 1.5 times, or creatinine clearance \<50ml/min

* Coagulation function abnormal definition:

International Standardization Ratio (INR)\> 1.5 times the ULN, and prothrombin time (PT) or activated partial coagulation Blood enzyme time (aPTT)\> ULN 1.5 times, unless the subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy

* need to merge other anti-tumor drug treatment
* Received any other test drug treatment or participated in another interventional clinical trial before 30 days of screening period;
