Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as pemetrexed disodium gemcitabine and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Giving more than one drug combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells It is not yet known whether giving pemetrexed disodium with gemcitabine is more effective than giving pemetrexed disodium with carboplatin in treating malignant pleural mesothelioma

PURPOSE This randomized phase II trial is studying pemetrexed disodium with gemcitabine and pemetrexed disodium with carboplatin to see how well the combinations work compared to historical controls in treating patients with advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Estimate the response rates in patients with advanced malignant mesothelioma of the pleura treated with pemetrexed disodium combined with either gemcitabine or carboplatin

Secondary

Assess the toxic effects of these regimens in these patients
Estimate survival time in patients treated with these regimens
Correlate smoking status with outcome in patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms While randomized the study is not a comparative study Rather outcomes on each arm will be compared to a historical control rate from previous studies Randomization allows simultaneous testing of two experimental arms

Arm I Patients receive intravenous IV pemetrexed disodium over 10 minutes and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1
Arm II Patients receive pemetrexed disodium as in arm I and gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8

In both arms treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Beginning approximately 5-10 days before the start of chemotherapy and continuing until approximately 3 weeks after completion of chemotherapy all patients receive oral folic acid once daily and cyanocobalamin vitamin B12 intramuscularly every 9 weeks

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 32-60 patients 16-30 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 128-270 months
