Treatment: Other - Folic acid
Treatment: Other - Folic Acid
Treatment: Other - Vitamin B12
Treatment: Drugs - dexamethasone
Treatment: Drugs - dexamethasone

Active comparator: Standard Vitamin and Steroid Schedule + Pemetrexed - Standard vitamin and steroid schedule that is used with pemetrexed consisting of a minimum of 5 daily doses of folic acid before first pemetrexed dose and dexamethasone on day before, day of, and day after treatment.

Experimental: Simplified Vitamin and Steroid Schedule + Pemetrexed - Simplified vitamin and steroid schedule to be used with pemetrexed consisting of 2 daily doses of folic acid before first pemetrexed dose and dexamethasone on day of treatment only.


Treatment: Drugs: pemetrexed
500 mg/m\^2 intravenous infusion on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Number of Cycles: Until progression or to a maximum of 6 cycles.

Treatment: Other: Folic acid
350-1000 micrograms taken orally for at least 5 daily doses during the 7-day period prior to the first dose of pemetrexed then continues daily throughout treatment until 3 weeks after the last dose of pemetrexed.

Treatment: Other: Folic Acid
350-1000 micrograms taken orally for two consecutive daily doses of folic acid the day before and the day of the first dose of pemetrexed the continues throughout treatment and for 3 weeks after the last dose of pemetrexed.

Treatment: Other: Vitamin B12
1000 micrograms intramuscular injection of vitamin B12 during the week prior to the first dose of pemetrexed then further injections given approximately every 9 weeks until 3 weeks after the last dose of pemetrexed.

Treatment: Drugs: dexamethasone
4 mg taken orally \[or equivalent\] twice per day the day before, the day of, and the day after the first day of pemetrexed. Continue to give dexamethasone twice per day the day before, the day of, and the day after each dose of pemetrexed.

Treatment: Drugs: dexamethasone
