March 28, 2011 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

Performance Status and Influencing Factors During Second-Line Treatment With Pemetrexed in Patients With Stage III/IVNon Small Cell Lung Cancer

The primary research objective of this observational study in pretreated patients with NSCLC of Stage IIIa/b or Stage IV is to evaluate patients' Karnofsky Index (KI) after the second cycle of second-line treatment with single agent pemetrexed in a real life setting, and to evaluate factors potentially influencing performance status in terms of KI, i.e. frequency of use of concomitant medications, in particular analgesics, folic acid, Vitamin B12, antiemetics, and medications against diarrhea; as documented in patient diary (days of use per week) and by the physicians.

Study Population

Patients with NSCLC Stage IIIa/b or IV who have previously been treated with chemotherapy and are starting second-line treatment with single-agent pemetrexed are eligible for this observational study.
