Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: A Drug: pemetrexed
500 mg/m2, intravenous (IV), every 21 days x 3 cycles
Other Names:
  • LY231514

Drug: cisplatin
75 mg/m2, intravenous (IV), every 21 days x 3 cycles


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Treatment Response [ Time Frame: every 21 day cycle (3 cycles) and 3-4 weeks after last cycle ]
    Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pathologic Remissions After Surgery [ Time Frame: surgical tumor resection (3-4 weeks after completing three 21-day cycles of therapy) ]
    The status of the pathological response was evaluated on the basis of the original results of the histopathological examination of the tumour samples resected. A complete pathological response was defined as the absence of any viable tumour cell in the tumour samples obtained for histological examination.

  2. Relapse-free Survival [ Time Frame: Every 21 day cycle (3 cycles) and then every 3 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months until 5 years have elapsed and annually thereafter ]
    Results for this outcome measure were not analyzed because the trial stopped early due to low enrollment.
