What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Tumor Response - Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Overall Response Rate (ORR)]	Overall response rate is the best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as classified by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). CR is a disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. PR is an at least 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameter) without progression of not-target lesions or appearance of new lesions. Overall response rate is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR divided by the total number of participants with at least 1 measurable lesion, multiplied by 100.	Baseline until Progressive Disease or Study Discontinuation (Up to 23 Months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Best Response of Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) (Clinical Benefit Rate)	Clinical benefit rate is the best response CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) as classified by the investigators according to the RECIST v1.1. CR is a disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. PR is an at least 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameter) without progression of not-target lesions or appearance of new lesions. SD is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum diameter since treatment started. Clinical benefit rate is calculated as a total number of participants with CR, PR, or SD divided by the total number of participants with at least 1 measurable lesion, multiplied by 100.	Baseline until Progressive Disease or Study Discontinuation (Up to 23 Months)
Progression-free Survival (PFS)	Progression-free survival (PFS) time was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first date of progressive disease (symptomatic or objective) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. For participants who were not known to have died or progressed as of the data-inclusion cutoff date, PFS time was censored at the date of the last objective progression-free disease assessment prior to the date of any subsequent systematic anticancer therapy. PFS was summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates.	Baseline to Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause (Up to 27.1 Months)
Duration of Response	Duration of Response is defined as the time from the first observation of CR or PR to the first observation of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause. A response is defined as a confirmed objective status of CR or PR. For participants who are not known to have died as of the data inclusion cut-off date and who do not have PD, the duration will be censored at the date of the last objective progression free disease assessment prior to the date of any subsequent anticancer therapy.	First Observation of CR or PR until Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause (Up to 23 Months)
Change in Symptom Burden Scores of Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS)	The LCSS participants scale is a 9-item questionnaire. Six questions are symptom-specific measures for lung cancer (appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis and pain), and 3 summation items describe total symptomatic distress, activity status, and overall quality of life. Participant responses were measured using visual analogue scales (VAS) with 100-milliliter (mm) lines. Scores range from 0 (for best outcome) to 100 (for worst outcome). The Average Symptom Burden Index (ASBI) was calculated as the mean of 6 symptom-specific questions from the LCSS.	Baseline until End of Study (Up to 27.1 Months)
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of LY2603618		Day 2 and Day 3 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2: Prior to End of Infusion (EOI); EOI + 1-2 hr; EOI + 4-6 hr; EOI + 20-28 hr; anytime on Day 8 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2
PK: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Pemetrexed		Day 1 and Day 2 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2: Prior to End of Infusion (EOI); EOI + 1-2 hour (hr); EOI + 4-6- hr; EOI + 20-28 hr
PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration vs. Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)] of LY2603618		Day 2 and Day 3 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2: Prior to End of Infusion (EOI); EOI + 1-2 hr; EOI + 4-6 hr; EOI + 20-28 hr; anytime on Day 8 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2
PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration vs. Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)] of Pemetrexed		Day 1 and Day 2 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2: Prior to End of Infusion (EOI); EOI + 1-2 hour (hr); EOI + 4-6- hr; EOI + 20-28 hr
