A Study of LY2940680 in Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Interventions
Drug: LY2940680
Drug: Carboplatin
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Etoposide
Registration Number
NCT01722292
Lead Sponsor
Eli Lilly and Company
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find a recommended dose of LY2940680 that can be safely given in combination with etoposide and carboplatin followed by LY2940680 alone in participants with extensive-disease small cell lung cancer. The study will also compare progression-free survival in participants who are administered etoposide, carboplatin and LY2940680 followed by LY2940680 alone versus etoposide, carboplatin, and placebo followed by placebo alone.

Phase 1b: Recommended Phase 2 Dose of LY2940680: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)Baseline to Completion of the Phase 1b (Up To 12 Months)

MTD was defined as the highest tested dose that has \<33% probability of causing a dose-limiting toxicity(DLT). DLT was defined as an AE during Cycle 1 that is possibly related to the study drug and fulfills any one of the following criterion using the National Cancer Institute(NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE),version 4.0:Grade 3 non-hematological toxicity except nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, or anorexia that is manageable with appropriate care,transient(i.e., ≤5 days) Grade 3 elevations of alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase(AST), without evidence of other hepatic injury, in the setting of preexisting hepatic metastasis, ≥Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia of any duration,CTCAE Grade 4 hematological toxicity of \>5 days duration and any febrile neutropenia. any other significant toxicity deemed by the primary investigator and Lilly clinical research personnel to be dose-limiting.

ORR was defined as the percentage of all randomized participants with the best overall response of PR or CR using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). CR is the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Tumor marker results must have normalized. PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
