  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men or women age ≥18 years
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC (Recurrent, locally advanced or metastatic, inoperable NSCLC [Stage IIIB/IV]. Patients with Stage IIIB NSCLC must have a cytologically documented pleural effusion.)
  • Failed or relapsed after receiving a platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen as first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC
  • Measurable disease on computerized tomography (CT) scan
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
  • Expected survival ≥12 weeks
  • Provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • More than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens
  • Progression of disease on prior pemetrexed treatment
  • Brain metastases (exception: patients who had a resection and/or completed a course of cranial irradiation, have no worsening CNS symptoms, and have discontinued all corticosteroids for that indication for at least 1 month)
  • Serum creatinine ≥2.0mg/dL or creatinine clearance <45mL/min
  • Absolute neutrophil count <1500/μL or platelets <100,000/μL
  • Any malignancy within 5 years immediately prior to the first dose of study medication (exception: basal cell or non-metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and carcinoma in-situ of the cervix)
  • Any comorbidity or condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the assessments and procedures of this protocol
  • Patients who are within 28 days of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or investigational medication for NSCLC. Patients must have recovered from all of the side effects of treatment.
  • Pregnancy or lactation. Women of childbearing potential and non-vasectomized men must agree to use a barrier method of contraception during treatment.
