Arm Description

Treatment included: radiation as 61-65 Gray (Gy) in 33-35 fractions if 2-phase treatment and 62-66 Gy in 31-33 fractions if 1-phase treatment; concurrent pemetrexed intravenous (IV) bolus with doses escalating from 300 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) IV through 500 mg/m^2 IV on Days 1 and 22; concurrent cisplatin 25 mg/m^2 IV on Days 1-3 and 22-24 for Cohorts 1-3 and cisplatin 20 mg/m^2 IV on Days 1-5 and 22-26 for Cohort 4. Participants then received 2 additional consolidation cycles repeated every 3 weeks (q3 weeks) of pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 IV and cisplatin 75 mg/m^2 IV.

Treatment included: radiation, 61-65 Gy in 33-35 fractions if 2-phase treatment and 62-66 Gy in 31-33 fractions if 1-phase treatment; concurrent phase pemetrexed IV bolus as determined by Phase 1 trial to be 500 mg/m^2 IV on Days 1 and 22 ; concurrent cisplatin 20 mg/m^2 IV as determined by Phase 1 trial with cycles commencing on Days 1 and 22; 2 additional consolidation cycles (q3 weeks) of pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 IV and cisplatin 75 mg/m^2 IV.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Pemetrexed in Combination With Cisplatin and Radiation Therapy
Recommended Phase 2 MTD was highest dose at which no more than 1 of 6 participants experienced dose level toxicity (DLT). DLT=(1) Grade 3/4 dysphagia/esophagitis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, fatigue/malaise, pneumonitis, dermatitis, persistent elevation of bilirubin/alkaline phosphatase/aspartate aminotransferase only if resulting in delay of radiotherapy >1 week, delay of pemetrexed/cisplatin Cycle 2 >2 weeks, or delay of pemetrexed/cisplatin Cycle 3 past 5 weeks after radiotherapy; (2) other Grade 3 or 4 toxicity possibly related to concurrent treatment administration.
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) at 1 Year
OS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to death due to any cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Phase 1: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE; Toxicity)
A listing of AEs is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival (OS) at 2 Years and 3 Years
OS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to death due to any cause.
Phase 2: Time to Progressive Disease (PD)
Time to PD was defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of objective disease progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions as references the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. Time to PD was censored at the date of death if death was due to other cause. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who did not have PD, time to PD was censored at the last progression-free disease assessment. For participants who received subsequent cancer therapy (after discontinuation from the study therapy) before PD, time to PD was censored at the date of subsequent cancer therapy initiation.
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS)
The percentage of participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date or last contact and who did not have PD.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the period from study entry until PD, death, or date of last contact. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who did not have PD, the PFS date was censored at the last contact date (contacts considered in the determination of last progression free disease assessment).
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Objective Tumor Response (Response Rate)
Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0). Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD)=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD)=small changes that do not meet above criteria. Objective response rate (%)=number of objective responders divided by the number of participants with measurable disease * 100, where objective responders are those participants who have met criteria either for CR or PR.
Phase 2: Site of Progressive Disease (PD)
Summarized participants with local (progression within the sites of initial disease)/regional (disease progression adjacent to but not within the site of initial disease at the start of treatment), distant (disease progression that is blood borne to other parts of the body, including outside the chest or involving the contralateral lung), and local + distant sites of disease. Objective PD is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions as references the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
