Detailed Description:
This study evaluates the use of Targretin capsules (bexarotene) in combination with Carboplatin and Paclitaxel for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer in patients who have not yet received chemotherapy for their lung cancer. Every patient receives a platinum-containing chemotherapy every three weeks for at least four chemotherapy cycles (approximately four months).

The other half is randomized to receive a standard platinum-containing chemotherapy without Targretin capsules.
