Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of ALIMTA (pemetrexed disodium) plus cisplatin.Methods Patients with malignant mesothelioma were allocated to two treatment groups envelope:pemetrexed plus cisplatin (PEM-group) or cisplatin alone (DDP-group).Results A total of 64 patients were randomly assigned and evaluated.The number of patients in PEM- and DDP-group had a significant pathologic complete response were (56.25 % vs 21.88 %,x2 =7.943,P <0.05).Progression-free survival was significantly higher in PEM-group (P <0.05),and 2-year survival rate was lower in DDP-group (P <0.05).Conclusion Pemetrexed elicit significant tumor response and delays disease progression compared with DDP alone in patients with advanced MPM.Improvement in OS is seen in this study.
