This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 non-inferiority study in
subjects with chemotherapy induced anemia receiving multi-cycle chemotherapy for the
treatment of metastatic (stage IV) or advanced stage IIIB with malignant pleural effusion
NSCLC. Approximately 3000 subjects with metastatic (stage IV) or advanced stage IIIB with
malignant pleural effusion NSCLC receiving or about to receive first line chemotherapy will
be enrolled into the study. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 allocation (Group A:
darbepoetin alfa 500 µg Q3W, Group B: placebo Q3W)
