Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, patients will receive either pemetrexed plus irinotecan or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin, and irinotecan.

The purposes of this study are to determine:

* How pemetrexed plus irinotecan compares with 5-FU, leucovorin, and irinotecan in terms of efficacy.
* The safety of pemetrexed plus irinotecan and any side effects that might be associated with it as compared with 5-FU, leucovorin, and irinotecan.
* Whether pemetrexed can help patients with colorectal cancer.
