Docetaxel Combined With Cisplatin as First Line in Patients With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a phase II, open-label clinical study prospectively enrolling 40 metastatic patients with non small cell lung cancer. The study will enroll patients at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh. Sub-sites will be open for patient accrual in selected centers in the Kingdom.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The cisplatin/docetaxel is established standard in the first line management of metastatic non small cell lung cancer in the United States, Europe and Asia. However, the safety and efficacy of this regimen was not studied systematically in Middle Eastern population. The aim of this study is to study the efficacy and safety of this regimen in our patient population
