Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Pemetrexed in Combination With Cisplatin and Radiation Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline to measured progressive disease (PD; up to 1 year) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    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 [ Time Frame: Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 1 year) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    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) [ Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 1 year) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    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 [ Time Frame: Baseline to date of death from any cause (measure at 2 years and 3 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    OS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to death due to any cause.

  • Phase 2: Time to Progressive Disease (PD) [ Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Time to PD was defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of disease progression. 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.

  • Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    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) [ Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    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) [ Time Frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 3 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Summarized participants with local (progression within the sites of initial disease)/regional (disease adjacent to but not within the known disease at the start of treatment), distant (disease 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.
