• Phase 2: Duration of response [ Time Frame: Time from first observation of CR or PR to the first observation of PD or death from any cause ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
• Phase 2: Change in Tumor Size [ Time Frame: Baseline, end of cycle 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
• Phase 1: Pharmacokinetic: Maximum concentration (Cmax) (Pemetrexed, Cisplatin and LY2603618) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 and cycle 2 of phase 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
• Phase 1: Pharmacokinetic: Area Under the Curve (AUC) (Pemetrexed,Cisplatin and LY2603618) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 and cycle 2 of phase 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
• Phase 2: Pharmacokinetic: Maximum concentration (Cmax) (LY2603618) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 of phase 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
• Phase2: Pharmacokinetic: Area Under the Curve (AUC) (LY2603618) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 of phase 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
• Phase 2: Change from baseline to long term follow-up in Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, long term follow-up (up to 15 month after last patient entered treatment) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
• Phase 1: Document any antitumor activity [ Time Frame: During every cycle of phase 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Phase 1 portion:
  • Patients with a cytologic or histologic diagnosis of nonsquamous NSCLC which is classified as Stage IV according to the seventh edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification. The patient should be eligible for a first line of palliative treatment with a platinum doublet.
  • Patients with histologic or cytologic diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma which is unresectable.
  • Patients with histologic or cytologic diagnoses of advanced or metastatic solid tumors who are not candidates for any standard therapy and for whom the combination with pemetrexed and cisplatin is deemed to be appropriate.
• Phase 2 portion: Have a histological diagnosis of NSCLC other than predominantly squamous cell histology which is classified as Stage IV according to the seventh edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification
• For patients with a diagnosis of NSCLC in first-line of treatment in Phase 2 part only: have archived tumor tissue (not cytology)
• Phase 1 patients can have measurable or nonmeasurable disease. Phase 2 patients must have at least 1 measurable lesion according to Investigational New Drug (IND) (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]) definitions. Tumor lesions located in a previously irradiated area can be considered measurable if they are new or if have shown unequivocal progression.
• Have a performance status of less than or equal to one on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale procedures
• Have adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal organ function
• Prior radiation therapy for treatment of cancer is allowed to <25% of the bone marrow, and patients must have recovered from the acute toxic effects of their treatment prior to study enrollment. Prior radiation to the whole pelvis is not allowed. Prior radiotherapy must be completed at least 4 weeks before study entry. For women: Must be surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or compliant with a highly reliable contraceptive method (failure rate <1%) during and for 6 months after the treatment period; must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before study enrollment and must not be breast-feeding.For men: Must be surgically sterile or compliant with a contraceptive regimen during and for 6 months after the treatment period

Exclusion Criteria:

• Have serious preexisting medical conditions or serious concomitant systemic disorders that would compromise the safety of the patient or his/her ability to complete the study, at the discretion of the investigator (for example, unstable angina pectoris or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus). Special attention should be paid to kidney and heart conditions that may be worsened with cisplatin treatment or hydration.
• Have central nervous system (CNS) metastases (unless the patient has completed successful local therapy for CNS metastases and has been off corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks before starting study therapy). A screening computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before enrollment in the absence of a clinical suspicion of brain metastases is not required.
• Have current active infection that would, in the opinion of the investigator, compromise the patient’s ability to tolerate therapy
• Have known allergy to pemetrexed, cisplatin, LY2603618, or any ingredient of pemetrexed, cisplatin, or LY2603618
• Have clinically significant (by physical exam) third-space fluid collections; for example, ascites or pleural effusions that cannot be controlled by drainage or other procedures prior to study entry
• Patients taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) who cannot interrupt the treatment appropriately according to the guidelines.
• Have received a recent yellow-fever vaccination (within 28 days of enrollment) or are receiving concurrent yellow-fever vaccination.
