Brief Summary
Protocol title: Comparison of cost-effectiveness of continuation maintenance therapy with six cycles of pemetrexed versus pemetrexed until disease progression for metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Study design: An open-labelled, randomized, phase 2 trial Indication: Patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1, and have received first-line or second-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed plus platinum for 4 cycles Treatment: Maintenance pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for six cycles versus until disease progression Objectives: Primary endpoint: 1\. Progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population Secondary endpoints:
- 1.Cost-effectiveness
- 2.Overall survival
- 3.Quality-of-life (QoL)
- 4.Quality-adjusted progression-free survival (QA-PFS)
- 5.Quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE)
- 6.Tumor response rate
- 7.Adverse events

Eligibility Criteria
Patients with metastatic non-squamous mon-small-cell lung cancer
You may qualify if:
- Males and females ≥ 20 years of age
- ECOG performance status of 0-1
- Histologically or cytologically verified non-squamous NSCLC
- Stage IV disease, as defined by American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th edition staging, prior to first-line or second-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed plus platinum
- At least one measurable lesion as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1
- Completion of 4 cycles of first-line or second-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed plus platinum and documented radiographic evidence of a complete or partial tumor response or stable disease by RECIST 1.1
- Adequate organ function, including followings:
- Bone marrow:
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 103 /μL White blood cell ≥ 3.0 x 103 /μL Platelet count ≥ 75 x 103 /μL Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL
- Hepatic:
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper normal limit (UNL) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 x UNL (≤ 5.0 x UNL if liver metastasis) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 x UNL (≤ 5.0 x UNL if liver metastasis)
- Renal:
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/min
- Estimated life expectancy of at least 6 months
- Ability to comply with study and follow-up procedures
- +1 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Squamous cell and/or mixed small-cell, non-small-cell histology
- Prior participation in any investigational drug study within 4 weeks
- Prior malignancy other than NSCLC, except those remain disease-free for ≥ 3 years after curative treatment, non-melanoma skin cancer or in situ cervical cancer
- Serious concomitant systemic disorders, such as acute or recent myocardial infarction (\< 6 months before enrollment), congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association functional class II\~IV, frequent exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (≥ 2 hospitalizations per year), or recent cerebrovascular disease (\< 6 months before enrollment)
- Active uncontrolled infections or HIV infection
- Current or planned pregnancy, or breast feeding in women
- Symptomatic central nervous system metastasis unless the patient has completed successful local therapy and has been off corticosteroids for ≥ 4 weeks
- Concurrent administration of any other antitumor therapy including chemotherapy, target therapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy
- Psychiatric disorders that would compromise the patient's compliance or decision
