Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety and tolerability of paclitaxel when administered with LY2157299 (Galunisertib).
II. To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel + LY2157299. III. To determine the recommended dose of paclitaxel with LY2157299 for phase II studies.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the efficacy, as measured by median progression free survival (PFS), of paclitaxel + LY2157299 in patients with metastatic androgen receptor negative triple negative metastatic breast cancer.
II. To evaluate the efficacy, as measured by clinical benefit rate (CBR), of paclitaxel + LY2157299 in patients with androgen receptor negative metastatic triple negative metastatic breast cancer.
III. To determine the overall response rate (ORR) of paclitaxel + LY2157299 in patients with androgen receptor negative metastatic triple negative breast cancer.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To interrogate the entire coding sequence of 236 cancer-related genes (3,769 exons) plus 47 introns from 19 genes often rearranged or altered in cancer.
II. Nanostring analysis of established gene expression signatures. III. Determine breast cancer subtype by PAM50 testing and correlate with response.
IV. To measure changes in circulating plasma transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1), interleukin (IL)-6, and cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34) positive (+), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) induced by LY2157299.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of Galunisertib.
Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients also receive Galunisertib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

- Sexually active males should use a condom during intercourse while taking drug and for 8 weeks after the final dose of study treatment and should not father a child in this period; a condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid
Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 3 months following the discontinuation of study treatment; highly effective contraception methods include:
- Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject; periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods]) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception
- Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment; in case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment
