Brief Summary: Patients with relapsed or chemotherapy-refractory SCLC have a dismal prognosis Unfortunately available treatments result in few durable responses Pemetrexed is a well-tolerated agent which is active in NSCLC Since chemotherapy agents which are active in NSCLC are usually also active in SCLC this trial will examine the efficacy and activity of pemetrexed in this palliative setting
Detailed Description: OUTLINE This is a multi-center study

Pemetrexed 500 mgm2 iv q 3 wks

All patients will also receive folic acid 350-1000 mcg po once daily beginning approximately 1 week prior to the first dose of pemetrexed and continuing until completion of pemetrexed Vitamin B12 1000 mcg IM every 9 weeks beginning approximately 1 week prior to the first dose of pemetrexed and continuing until completion of pemetrexed and dexamethasone 4 mg po bid the day before the day of and the day following each treatment with pemetrexed

Chest x-ray will be performed prior to each cycle if other disease assessment by imaging is not performed in order to ensure patients are not rapidly progressing

Cycles are repeated every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles or PD or intolerable side effects
