Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histological or cytological evidence of a diagnosis of solid tumor that is advanced and/or metastatic.
  • In the judgment of the investigator, participants must be appropriate candidates for experimental therapy after available standard therapies have failed or for whom standard therapy is not appropriate.
  • Performance status of less than or equal to (≤) 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale.
  • Adequate organ function, including hematologic, hepatic, and renal.
  • Estimated life expectancy of greater than or equal to (≥) 12 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Received previous therapy for cancer within 14 or 21 days of the initial dose of study drug for a nonmyelosuppressive or myelosuppressive agents, respectively.

  • Have current or recent (within 3 months of study drug administration) gastrointestinal disease with chronic or intermittent diarrhea.
  • Have an active bacterial, fungal, and/or known viral infection.

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
Number of Participants With LY3039478 Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time Frame: Cycle 1 (Up to 28 Days)
DLT was defined as an adverse event (AE) that occurred during Cycle 1 (first 28 days) related to the study drug and met one of the following criteria per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. These criteria included: CTCAE Grade greater than or equal to (≥) 3 non-hematological toxicity, with exceptions for nausea, vomiting, or constipation, and asymptomatic electrolyte disturbances that can be controlled with standard treatment; Grade 4 hematological toxicity of greater than (>) 5 days duration; Grade ≥ 3 anemia requiring transfusion; any febrile neutropenia; neutropenia needing granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (GCSFs); Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding or requiring platelet transfusion; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia.
Cycle 1 (Up to 28 Days)

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 Response Rate (ORR): Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)
Time Frame: Baseline through Measured Progressive Disease (Up To 100 Weeks)
  • The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving either a CR or PR. Tumor response was assessed based on histology: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) was used for solid tumors, and Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria were used for glioblastoma.
  • CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, with any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) showing a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. Additionally, tumor marker results were required to have normalized. PR was defined as a decrease of at least 30% in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, using baseline diameters as the reference.
Baseline through Measured Progressive Disease (Up To 100 Weeks)
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of LY3039478
Time Frame: Cycle 1, Day 1 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose); Cycle 1 Day 22 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose)
PK: Cmax of LY3039478 was reported.
Cycle 1, Day 1 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose); Cycle 1 Day 22 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose)
PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From 0 to 24 Hours (AUC (0-24)) of LY3039478
Time Frame: Cycle 1, Day 1 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose); Cycle 1 Day 22 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose)
PK: AUC (0-24) of LY3039478 was reported.
Cycle 1, Day 1 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose); Cycle 1 Day 22 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose)
