Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - pemetrexed
Treatment: Other - Folic acid
Treatment: Other - Folic Acid
Treatment: Other - Vitamin B12
Treatment: Drugs - dexamethasone
Treatment: Drugs - dexamethasone
Active comparator: Standard Vitamin and Steroid Schedule + Pemetrexed - Standard vitamin and steroid schedule that is used with pemetrexed consisting of a minimum of 5 daily doses of folic acid before first pemetrexed dose and dexamethasone on day before, day of, and day after treatment.
Experimental: Simplified Vitamin and Steroid Schedule + Pemetrexed - Simplified vitamin and steroid schedule to be used with pemetrexed consisting of 2 daily doses of folic acid before first pemetrexed dose and dexamethasone on day of treatment only.
Treatment: Drugs: pemetrexed
500 mg/m\^2 intravenous infusion on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Number of Cycles: Until progression or to a maximum of 6 cycles.
Treatment: Other: Folic acid
350-1000 micrograms taken orally for at least 5 daily doses during the 7-day period prior to the first dose of pemetrexed then continues daily throughout treatment until 3 weeks after the last dose of pemetrexed.
Treatment: Other: Folic Acid
350-1000 micrograms taken orally for two consecutive daily doses of folic acid the day before and the day of the first dose of pemetrexed the continues throughout treatment and for 3 weeks after the last dose of pemetrexed.
Treatment: Other: Vitamin B12
1000 micrograms intramuscular injection of vitamin B12 during the week prior to the first dose of pemetrexed then further injections given approximately every 9 weeks until 3 weeks after the last dose of pemetrexed.
Treatment: Drugs: dexamethasone
4 mg taken orally \[or equivalent\] twice per day the day before, the day of, and the day after the first day of pemetrexed. Continue to give dexamethasone twice per day the day before, the day of, and the day after each dose of pemetrexed.
Treatment: Drugs: dexamethasone
4 mg taken orally \[or equivalent\] twice per day on the day of the first dose of pemetrexed. Continue to give dexamethasone twice per day on the day of each dose of pemetrexed.

Results are presented for the number of participants with drug-related Grade 3 or 4 toxicity/adverse event (AE). Grades range from 0 (none) to 5 (death), with Grade 3 and 4 being defined as follows:
Grade 0 = No AE; Grade 1 = Mild AE; Grade 2 = Moderate AE; Grade 3 = Severe AE; Grade 4 = Life-threatening or disabling AE; Grade 5 = Death related to AE. A detailed list of Serious and non-serious adverse events is provided in the Reported Adverse Event section.

Proportion of Participants With Best Overall Tumor Response (Response Rate)

Assessment method [1]
0
0
Response defined per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria: Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease=small changes that do not meet above criteria. Best Overall Tumor Response is complete response plus partial response.

Summary
Brief summary
Chemotherapy for patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Patients are given folic acid, vitamin B12 and steroids, both before and during treatment, to reduce the side effects associated with pemetrexed. The aim is whether it is possible to simplify the folic acid and steroid schedule without increasing toxicity.
