Study of Enzastaurin Versus Placebo With Pemetrexed for Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Lung Cancer

June 9, 2020 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A Phase 2 Double-Blind Randomized Study of Oral Enzastaurin HCl Versus Placebo Concurrently With Pemetrexed (Alimta®) as Second-Line Therapy in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of enzastaurin and pemetrexed can extend survival time without progression of disease for participants who have advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Baseline to measured progressive disease up to 9.92 months
PFS was defined as the time from date of randomization to the first documented observation of disease progression or death from any cause. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.0) criteria. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as having at least a 20% increase in sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions. PFS was censored at the date of the last objective progression-free disease assessment for participants who did not experience PD or death at the data inclusion cut-off date.
Baseline to measured progressive disease up to 9.92 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Baseline to date of death from any cause up to 12.32 months
OS was defined as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For participants who were alive at the time of the data inclusion cutoff, OS was censored at the date the participant was last known to be alive.
Baseline to date of death from any cause up to 12.32 months
Time-to-Worsening (TW) in Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) - Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Subscale
Time Frame: Baseline to disease worsening up to 10.58 months
LCSS is a participant rated lung cancer instrument which consisted of 6 disease related symptoms (appetite, cough, fatigue, dyspnea, hemoptysis, and pain) and 3 quality of life (QoL) items (activity status, symptomatic distress, and overall QoL). TW in LCSS-HRQoL was measured from the date of enrollment to the first date of a 15 millimeters (mm) worsening in the 9th LCSS item on QoL. LCSS-HRQoL was measured on the 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) with the scores ranging from 0 (best response and very high HRQoL) to 100-mm (worse response and very low HRQoL). TW-HRQoL was censored at the date of the participant's last LCSS assessment for participant without a 15-mm increase on the 100-mm VAS.
Baseline to disease worsening up to 10.58 months
Duration of Disease Control (DDC)
Time Frame: Baseline to measured progressive disease up to 9.92 months
DDC was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented observation of disease progression or death from any cause and was limited to the participants with a best tumor response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD). Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.0) criteria. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as having at least a 20% increase in sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. SD was defined as small changes that did not meet the above criteria. DDC was censored at the date of the last objective progression-free disease assessment for participants who did not experience PD or death.
Baseline to measured progressive disease up to 9.92 months
Percentage of Participants With Complete Response or Partial Response (Tumor Response Rate)
Time Frame: Baseline to measured progressive disease up to 9.92 months
Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.0) criteria. Participants with a best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) were considered to have had a tumor response. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. Percentage of participants was calculated as the total number of participants affected divided by the number of participants analyzed then multiplied by 100.
Baseline to measured progressive disease up to 9.92 months
Tumor Biomarkers
Time Frame: Tumor samples collected at baseline
Protein expression was measured using an Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay from the tumor tissue samples. IHC histo-scores (H-scores) were determined separately for each of the 3 biomarkers: folate receptor alpha (FR alpha) in cytoplasm and apical membrane, thymidylate synthase (TS) in cytoplasm and nucleus, and thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF1) in the nucleus. Tumor tissue samples were to be scored using a 0 (negative, no staining) to 3+ (brightest staining) scoring system for cytoplasmic and nuclear staining. IHC H-score was calculated using the formula: 1 * (percentage of cells stained 1+) + 2 * (percentage of cells stained 2+) + 3 * (percentage of cells stained 3+), giving a minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 300. The maximum score indicates the strongest expression.
Tumor samples collected at baseline

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Who Died During the Study Treatment
Time Frame: Baseline through study completion [up to 16 Cycles (21-day cycles, except Cycle 1 [28 days])]
Reported are the deaths due to study disease and adverse events (AEs) that occurred while on study treatment.
Baseline through study completion [up to 16 Cycles (21-day cycles, except Cycle 1 [28 days])]

Time Frame: End of study treatment [16 Cycles (21-day cycles, except Cycle 1 [28 days])] through 30 days after treatment discontinuation
