Brief Summary:

The purposes of this study are to determine:

  1. The safety of pemetrexed plus Gemcitabine and any side effects that might be associated with the combination of these two drugs.
  2. Whether pemetrexed plus Gemcitabine can help patients with non-small cell lung cancer live longer.
  3. Whether pemetrexed plus Gemcitabine can make the tumor smaller or disappear, and for how long.
  4. To see if patients feel better while taking pemetrexed plus Gemcitabine.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To determine the tumor response rate for pemetrexed plus gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced or metastatic (Stage IIIB or IV) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Secondary Outcome Measures :

  2. time to objective tumor response for responding patients
  3. duration of response for responding patients
  4. time to treatment failure
  5. time to progressive disease
  6. progression-free survival
  7. overall survival
  8. To characterize the quantitative and qualitative toxicities of pemetrexed plus gemcitabine in this patient population.
