- Persistent or recurrent low risk Gestational Trophoblastic Tumor (GTT)
- WHO score 2-6 (re-evaluated at the time of relapse
- Histologically confirmed complete or partial moles on initial evacuation
- Patients with mild to moderate renal insufficiency should avoid taking NSAIDs with short elimination half-lives for a period of 2 days before, the day of, and 2 days following administration of pemetrexed.
- All patients taking NSAIDs with longer half-lives, should interrupt dosing for at least 5 days before, the day of, and 2 days following pemetrexed administration.
