Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Standard Vitamin and Steroid Schedule + Pemetrexed

Simplified Vitamin and Steroid Schedule + Pemetrexed

Arm Description

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.

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Safety: Number of Participants With Drug-Related Grade 3 or 4 Toxicity
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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Proportion of Participants With Best Overall Tumor Response (Response Rate)
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.
Overall Survival
Overall survival is the duration from randomization to death. For patients who are alive, overall survival is censored at the date of last contact.
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Defined as the time from date of first dose to the first observation of disease progression, or death due to any cause. For patients who are alive and have not progressed, PFS is censored at the date of last radiological assessment.

5. Study Description

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.
