Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study wants to assess different intensive therapy sequences for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer.

It claims less on the efficacy of different chemotherapy combinations, than more on the comparison of different strategies of sequential single-agent, sequential double-agent or sequential triple-agent therapy.
