Brief Summary

This study will compare the effects of Enzastaurin plus Sunitinib versus Sunitinib alone in metastatic Renal Cell Cancer.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, Phase 2 study of enzastaurin and sunitinib versus placebo and sunitinib as first-line therapy in participants with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, containing 2 parts.

Target Recruitment
17
Inclusion Criteria
  • Participants with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) who have not received prior treatment with systemic (adjuvant or neoadjuvant) therapy for RCC (including targeted therapy such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors or bevacizumab, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal, or investigational therapy)
  • Histologically confirmed RCC with metastases with a component of clear (conventional) cell histology
  • Evidence of unidimensional measurable disease, measured by computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Primary tumor has been surgically removed by nephrectomy or nephron-sparing surgery
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1
  • Participants must sign an informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria
  • Have received prior treatment with sunitinib or enzastaurin

  • Have received treatment within the last 30 days with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication at the time of study entry

  • Have had any of the following within 12 months prior to study drug administration:

    • myocardial infarction,
    • severe/unstable angina,
    • coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft,
    • symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF),
    • cerebrovascular accident,
    • transient ischemic attack, or
    • pulmonary embolism
  • Note: Ongoing treatment with therapeutic doses of Coumadin® (warfarin) or a derivative of Coumadin or phenprocoumon is not allowed, but prophylactic, low-dose Coumadin (≤ 2 mg daily) for deep vein thrombosis is allowed. In such cases, prothrombin time/international normalization ratio (PT/INR) should be very closely monitored as clinically indicated

  • Ongoing cardiac arrhythmias >New York Health Association Class II, atrial fibrillation of any grade, or prolongation of the QTc interval to >450 millisecond (msec) for males or >470 msec for females.

  • Have uncontrolled hypertension [>150/100 millimeter of mercury (mm/Hg) despite optimal medical therapy], or history of poor compliance with antihypertensive treatment

  • Require concomitant use of potent Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inducer, for example, rifampicin or potent CYP3A inhibitors, such as ketoconazole.

  • Significant surgery or radiation therapy <4 weeks of starting study treatment. Prior palliative radiotherapy to metastatic lesion(s) is/are permitted, provided there is at least 1 measurable lesion that has not been irradiated

  • Participants who are pregnant or breast feeding

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression Free Survival (PFS) in Part 2Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease (PD) (Up to 24 Months)

Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the number of months between the date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression or the date of death due to any cause, whichever came first.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS) in Part 2Randomization to Death from Any Cause (Up to 24 Months)

OS time was defined as the number of months between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious AEs (SAEs) in Part 1Randomization to Study Completion (Up to 6 Cycles)

Clinically significant events were defined as serious adverse events, regardless of causality. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.

Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under Concentration Time Curve During One Dosing Interval at Steady State (AUCτ,ss) of Enzastaurin + Metabolite (LSN326020) + Total Analytes in Part 1Cycle 1 Day 15: Predose, 2, 4, and 6 - 8 hours, Up to 12 Hours Post dose

Pharmacokinetics (PK) was assessed in participants to determine the area under the concentration time curve during one dosing interval at steady state (AUCτ,ss) of Enzastaurin, LSN326020 and total Analytes. τ equals 12 hours for Enzastaurin, LSN326020 and total Analytes.

Time-To-Tumor Progression in Part 2Randomization to the Date of Objective Progressive Disease or Date of Death due to Study Disease, whichever came first (Up to 24 Months)

Time to tumor progression (TTP) at initial treatment was defined as the number of months between date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression or the date of death due to disease under study, whichever came first.

PK: Maximum Concentration at Steady State (Cmax,ss) of Enzastaurin + LSN326020 + Total Analytes in Part 1Cycle 1 Day 15: Predose, 2, 4, and 6 - 8 hours, Up to 12 Hours Post dose

PK was assessed in participants to determine the maximum concentration at steady state (Cmax, ss) of Enzastaurin + LSN326020 + total analytes.
