While cell function analysis has found the clinical responses to combination of Gemzar + Platinum unprecedented, those responses are not 100%. Other examples of alkylating platinum compounds are Chlorambucil (Leukeran) and Melphalan (Alkeran). Finding what "targeted" therapies would work for what cancers is very difficult. A lot of trial-and-error goes along trying to find out. And they have their share of toxicity also.
Perhaps a clinical trial will be effective for you. Best of luck!
