Brief Summary

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

This is a multicenter, randomized, Phase 2, open label, parallel trial to evaluate an effect of pemetrexed alone on nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a second-line setting (such as progression-free survival \[PFS\], disease control rate, best response rate, time to treatment failure \[TTTF\], overall survival \[OS\] and 1-year survival rates) compared to pemetrexed plus erlotinib combination.
