Official Title ^ICMJE	A Compassionate Treatment Protocol for the Use of Trimetrexate Glucuronate (Neutrexin) With Leucovorin Protection for European Adult Patients (>= 13 Years Old) With Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia
Brief Summary	To evaluate the safety and efficacy of trimetrexate glucuronate with leucovorin protection in European patients with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) who are refractory to or have demonstrated severe or life-threatening toxicities to standard therapies (e.g., TMP/SMX or parenteral pentamidine).
Detailed Description	Patients receive intravenous infusions of trimetrexate glucuronate and leucovorin for 21 days. Leucovorin is continued for 3 additional days after discontinuation of trimetrexate glucuronate. Patients are followed for 1 month.
