Pemetrexed

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

pemetrexed

Intervention Type DRUG

500 milligrams per square meter (mg/m2), intravenous (IV) in the first cycle. Acceptable toxicity\* in cycle 1 determines dose increase to 1000 mg/m2 or dose decrease to 375 mg/m2 with unacceptable toxicity every 3 week in subsequent cycles till progression of disease.

\*Toxicity acceptable if none of the following toxicities recorded at any time during Cycle 1: Platelets \<50 x 10\^9/L; absolute neutrophil count \<1.0 x 10\^9/L; Stomatitis/pharyngitis/esophagitis/diarrhea Grade \>2; Skin Grade \>2; Serum bilirubin \>3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN); alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase \>10 x ULN; Other non-hematologic toxicities Grade \>2 (except nausea, vomiting).
