A Safety Study in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors

A Phase 1 Multicenter, Dose-escalation Study of LY573636-sodium in Combination With 1) Gemcitabine HCl or 2) Docetaxel or 3) Temozolomide or 4) Cisplatin, or 5) Erlotinib in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to determine a safe dose of LY573636 (tasisulam) when used in 5 separate combinations with an approved cancer medication for treating participants with advanced cancer. Data from this study will be reviewed for any side effects or anti-tumor activity that may be associated with the LY573636 combination treatments.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Have received treatment within 30 days of the initial dose of study drug with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication
• Have serious preexisting medical conditions that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the study

Participants with signs or symptoms of neurological compromise should have appropriate radiographic imaging performed before study entry to rule out brain metastasis. Participants with stable CNS metastasis not requiring steroids may be eligible.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities Cycle 1	A Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) is defined as an Adverse Event (AE) that is likely related to the study medication or combination, and fulfills any one of the following criteria: Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, Version 3.0) Grade 4 neutropenia lasting more than 5 days. Grade 4 neutropenia with fever or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, regardless of duration; Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, regardless of duration; Grade ≥3 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding nausea/vomiting or diarrhea that can be controlled with medication, and alopecia). Grade 3 electrolyte toxicity (for example, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia) will not be considered a DLT unless it is considered related to the study drug or combination and does not resolve with standard replacement treatments within 42 days after Cycle 1 Day 1. A summary of other nonserious AEs and all Serious Adverse Events (SAE), regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Event section.	Baseline to Cycle 1 (Up to Day 28)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Pharmacokinetic (PK): Concentration Maximum (Cmax)	Cycle 2: predose,1h start of infusion, end of infusion, 30min,2h,4h,6h,22h,166h,334h,698h end of infusion.	Cycle 1: predose,0,30min,1h start of infusion, end of infusion, 30min,2h,4h,6h,22h,166h,334h,698h end of infusion.
Percentage of Participants With a Complete (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Best Overall Tumor Response)	Best overall tumor response was evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.0) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.	Baseline to Study Completion (Up to 2 years)
Number of Participants With a Clinically Significant Effects	Clinically significant effects are reported if a Grade 3 or higher treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) and observed in ≥10% of participants or a toxicity possibly related to study drug based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). A summary of other nonserious AEs and all SAEs, regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Event section.	Baseline to Study Completion (Up to 2 years)
PK: Area Under the Curve Albumin (AUCalb)	Cycle 2: predose,1h start of infusion, end of infusion, 30min,2h,4h,6h,22h,166h,334h,698h end of infusion.	Cycle 1: predose,0,30min,1h start of infusion, end of infusion, 30min,2h,4h,6h,22h,166h,334h,698h end of infusion.
