In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Pemetrexed and Erlotinib for Histological or Cytological Diagnosis of Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC of Nonsquamous Histology and Not Amenable to Curative Therapy.. Completed, enrolled 204 participants across 23 sites in 5 countries.
Detailed Summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, Phase 2, open label, parallel trial to evaluate an effect of pemetrexed alone on nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a second-line setting (such as progression-free survival \[PFS\], disease control rate, best response rate, time to treatment failure \[TTTF\], overall survival \[OS\] and 1-year survival rates) compared to pemetrexed plus erlotinib combination.
