Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: LY2090314/pemetrexed/carboplatin; Part A, Cycle 1 (28 days): Intravenous doses of LY2090314 starting at 10 milligram (mg) were given on Day 1 followed by 10 mg LY2090314, 500 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) pemetrexed (intravenous dose), and 5 or 6 area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) intravenous dose of carboplatin on Day 8. Part A, Cycle 2 (21 days): Pemetrexed and carboplatin given on Day 1 at the same dose administered in Cycle 1. Part A, Cycle 3 (21 days) and beyond: LY2090314, Pemetrexed and carboplatin were given on Day 1 at the same dose administered in Cycle 1. LY2090314 doses were escalated until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached. Part B: Dose determined in Part A was administered. Participants were allowed to continue the combination treatment if they were receiving therapeutic benefit until they fulfilled one of the criteria for discontinuation.

Drug: Carboplatin; Administered intravenously; Drug: LY2090314; Administered intravenously; Drug: pemetrexed; Administered intravenously; Other Names: Alimta; LY231514; Other: ranitidine; Per I2H-MC-JWYA Protocol Amendment (d) approved 11 March 2010, 50 mg ranitidine given as pretreatment to LY2090314 for stomach pain.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Recommended LY2090314 Dose for Phase 2 Studies (Maximum Tolerated Dose [MTD])	Recommended Phase 2 MTD was determined, when a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred in 1 of 3 participants, the cohort was to be expanded to 6 participants. If a DLT occurred in 2 or more participants, accrual to the cohort was stopped, as the MTD was exceeded. A DLT was defined as an adverse event (AE) occurring in Cycle 1 (28 days) that was possibly related to study drug and met 1 of the following criteria: According to the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0, ≥Grade 3 nonhematologic toxicity (except for nausea/vomiting without maximal symptomatic/prophylactic treatment) possibly or likely related to the study medication;CTCAE Grade 4 hematological toxicity of >5 days duration; Febrile neutropenia; CTCAE Grade 4 thrombocytopenia; CTCAE ≥Grade 2 thrombocytopenia plus bleeding; CTCAE ≥Grade 3 prolonged QTc interval.	Baseline up to Day 28 (Cycle 1)

PK Parameter: AUC0-∞ of LY2090314 Coadministered With Pemetrexed (Pem) and Carboplatin (Carb)	AUC0-∞ was calculated from the area under the concentration versus time curves of LY2090314 from time zero to infinity when coadministered with Pem and Carb.	Cycle 1 Day 8 of a 28-day cycle or Cycle 2 Day 1 of a 21-day cycle
PK Parameter: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of LY2090314		Cycle 1 Day 1 of a 28-day cycle

Number of Participants With Best Overall Tumor Response	Best overall observed tumor response at any point during the study until disease progression/recurrence defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 millimeter (mm) and normalization of tumor marker level of non-target lesions; Partial Response (PR) was defined as at least 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and minimum 5 mm increase over nadir; Stable Disease (SD) was defined as small changes that did not meet above criteria.	Baseline up to Cycle 9 (Cycle 1 was 28 days, Cycles 2 to 9 were 21 days)
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 Hour to Infinity (AUC0-∞) of Pemetrexed (Pem)	AUC0-∞ was calculated from the area under the concentration versus time curves of Pem given as a single dose with Carb (doublet therapy) and when co-administered with Carb and LY2090314 (triplet therapy).	Cycle 1 Day 8 of 28-day cycle and Cycle 2 up to Cycle 10 Day 1 of 21-day cycle
PK Parameter: Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Pemetrexed (Pem)	Cmax of Pem given as a single dose with Carb (doublet therapy) and when coadministered with Carb and LY2090314 (triplet therapy).	Cycle 1 Day 8 of 28-day cycle and Cycle 2 up to Cycle 10 Day 1 of 21-day cycle
PK Parameter: AUC0-∞ of Free Carboplatin (Carb)	AUC0-∞ of free Carb was calculated from the area under the concentration versus time curves of Carb given as a single dose with Pem (doublet therapy) and when co-administered with Pem and LY2090314 (triplet therapy).	Cycle 1 Day 8 of 28-day cycle and Cycle 2 up to Cycle 9: Day 1 of 21-day cycle
PK Parameter: Cmax of Free Carboplatin	Cmax of free Carb given as a single dose with Pem (doublet therapy) and when co-administered with Pem and LY2090314 (triplet therapy).	Cycle 1, Day 8 of 28-day cycle and Cycle 2 up to Cycle 9: Day 1 of 21-day cycle
Pharmacodynamic (PD) Changes in Beta-Catenin (β-catenin)	PD change from baseline to endpoint (up to Cycle 9) in β-catenin levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) following the administration of LY2090314 given alone and in combination with Pem and Carb. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to insufficient data.	Baseline, Cycle 1 , Day 1 of a 28-day cycle and Cycle 2 up to Cycle 9: Day 1 of 21-day cycles
