      This Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) was carried out in the Department of Medical Oncology at National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital (NICRH), Mohakhali, Dhaka. Patients were enrolled from January 2012 for one year. Total 90 patients with above 18 years of age, both sexes presented with histologically confirmed stage IIIA, IIIB & IV NSCLC were enrolled and randomized (1:1:1) in to three arms. Cumulatively 26 patients were lost to follow up.

      Chemotherapy was given in 21 days interval (4-6 cycles). Toxicities were measured on Day 1, 7, 21, 28, 42, 3 months and on 6 months. Median follow up period was 6 months. Survival data was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method.

      Significant G-1/2 Hb% was found in Day7 in TP (16.67%) and EP (10.52%) arm and in 6 months EP (31.58%) & TP (29.17%). WBC G-1/2 toxicity was found in EP (31.58%) & TP (20.83%) arm at 6 months. Similarly, in case of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, GP arm was found to be significantly less toxic than TP and EP arm at 6 months. Response rate and survival data are provided in table 1.
