Brief summary:
Measure the 1 year survival of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who are being treated with pemetrexed in combination with cisplatin and radiation.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Treatment included: radiation as 61-65 Gray (Gy) in 33-35 fractions if 2-phase treatment and 62-66 Gy in 31-33 fractions if 1-phase treatment; concurrent pemetrexed intravenous (IV) bolus with doses escalating from 300 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) IV through 500 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 1 and 22; concurrent cisplatin 25 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 1-3 and 22-24 for Cohorts 1-3 and cisplatin 20 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 1-5 and 22-26 for Cohort 4. Participants then received 2 additional consolidation cycles repeated every 3 weeks (q3 weeks) of pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2 IV and cisplatin 75 mg/m\^2 IV. arm 2: Treatment included: radiation, 61-65 Gy in 33-35 fractions if 2-phase treatment and 62-66 Gy in 31-33 fractions if 1-phase treatment; concurrent phase pemetrexed IV bolus as determined by Phase 1 trial to be 500 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 1 and 22 ; concurrent cisplatin 20 mg/m\^2 IV as determined by Phase 1 trial with cycles commencing on Days 1 and 22; 2 additional consolidation cycles (q3 weeks) of pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2 IV and cisplatin 75 mg/m\^2 IV.

Interventions: intervention 1: Pemetrexed Phase 1 intervention 2: Cisplatin Phase 1 intervention 3: Radiation Therapy intervention 4: Pemetrexed Phase 2 intervention 5: Cisplatin Phase 2
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 300 mg/m\^2 IV, Days 1 and 22; intermediate dose escalation level of 400 mg/m\^2 IV; then 500 mg/m\^2 IV, repeated every 21 days (q 21 days) x 2 cycles intervention 2: Cohorts 1-3: 25 mg/m\^2 IV, Days 1-3 and 22-24 then 75 mg/m\^2 IV, q21 days x 2 cycles

Cohort 4 carried into Phase 2: 20 mg/m\^2 IV, Days 1-5 and 22-26 then 75 mg/m\^2 IV, q21 days x 2 cycles. intervention 3: Phases 1 and 2: 61-65 Gy in 33-35 fractions intervention 4: Concurrent phase pemetrexed IV bolus as determined by Phase 1 trial to be 500 mg/m\^2 IV on Days 1 and 22. intervention 5: Phase 2 (Cohort 4 carried over from Phase 1): 20 mg/m\^2 IV, Days 1-5 and 22-26 then 75 mg/m\^2 IV, q21 days x 2 cycles.
