Purpose
There is little information of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 2 patients analyzed in the clinical trials. The rate of patients recruited into Treatment Chemotherapy as 1st Line in Advanced NSCLC clinical trials is less than 20 percent.
This low rate makes the investigators think about the possibility of a bias selection, due to the existence of this exclusion criteria that do not permit to include patients with deteriorated performance status.
In these types of patients, the toxicity is an important issue to decide the therapeutic strategy. Gemcitabine and Docetaxel combination is very interesting because they have a different toxicity profile. This combination has demonstrated activity in several types of tumours, as breast cancer, sarcoma and lung cancer.
The strategy performed in this study is biweekly combination of Gemcitabine and Docetaxel; activity and dose intensity will be the same, but toxicity will be significantly low.

- Overall response rate = sum of complete and partial tumour responses divided by the number of included patients [ Time Frame: 2 and 4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Time from study entry to death from any cause ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Toxicity [ Time Frame: Biweekly ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Duration of response [ Time Frame: time from first response (CR or PR) to tumor progression ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Time to progression [ Time Frame: time from study entry to observed tumor progression or death due to progression disease ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Measurement of quality of life [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
