Primary Outcome Measures:
- To compare time to progression between the combination pemetrexed-carboplatin and pemetrexed alone in previously treated patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC [ Time Frame: 36 months ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To assess differences in terms of response rate between the combination pemetrexed-carboplatin and pemetrexed alone. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- To assess differences in terms of duration of response between the combination pemetrexed-carboplatin and pemetrexed alone. [ Time Frame: 36 months ]
- To assess differences in terms of toxicity between the combination pemetrexed-carboplatin and pemetrexed alone. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
- To assess differences in terms of survival between the combination pemetrexed-carboplatin and pemetrexed alone. [ Time Frame: 36 months ]

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Active Comparator: A
Monochemotherapy
|
Drug: Pemetrexed
Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 i.v. over approximately 10 minutes on day 1 of a 21 days cycle
|
|
Experimental: B
Combination chemotherapy
|
Drug: Pemetrexed plus carboplatin
Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 i.v. over approximately 10 minutes on day 1 and Carboplatin AUC 5 i.v. over approximately 30 minutes on day 1 (beginning approximately 30 minutes after the end of the pemetrexed infusion) of a 21 days cycle

Detailed Description:
In spite of the superiority of single agent over best supportive care in second-line NSCLC, the prognosis of these patients remains poor with a median survival of 6-7 months, justifying the evaluation of new regimens in this setting. An open question in the second-line treatment of NSCLC remains the possible superiority of combination chemotherapy over single agent, as it has been clearly demonstrated in first-line. Particularly, the addition of platinum to either docetaxel or pemetrexed should be further investigated especially in patients with prior response/stable disease to platinum-based first-line chemotherapy. Pemetrexed has shown anti-tumor activity in combination with other chemotherapy agents, including gemcitabine, vinorelbine, taxanes, cisplatin and carboplatin. In this multicenter, open label, randomized phase II trial, pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC 5 will be administered on day 1 every 3 weeks until progression of disease or for a maximum of 4 courses in the experimental arm. The control arm will be pemetrexed as single agent at 500 mg/m2 on day 1 every 3 weeks until progression of disease or for a maximum of 4 courses.
