Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

The purpose is to see how quickly two different types of prostate cancer participants respond when taking enzastaurin. Cohort 1 - asymptomatic participants with androgen-independent prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-progressive disease without clinical or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease. Cohort 2 - participants with androgen-independent metastatic prostate cancer (documented bone or soft tissue metastases) with rising PSA, clinical, radiographic disease progression following one prior docetaxel-based regimen

NOTE: PSA progression is defined as have rising PSA values of \<=5 ng/mL (at least 3 measurements 1 week apart) with castrate levels of testosterone \<50 ng/dL following appropriate antiandrogen withdrawal, without evidence of metastases. (cohort 1) * No prior systemic chemotherapy for prostate cancer. No prior chemotherapy for any other indication within 2 years of study entry.

Note: Participants who discontinued a docetaxel-containing regimen due to toxicity or any other reasons not related to disease progression while on treatment, and were not able to complete at least 2 cycles, were not be eligible.

PSA Complete response (CR) was defined as a decrease in PSA to an undetectable level (\<0.2 ng/mL) confirmed by a second value obtained at least 4 weeks apart and without clinical or radiographic evidence of disease. PSA Partial Response (PR) was defined as a decrease in PSA of \>=50% at any time during the study. The decline of \>=50% in PSA must be from a baseline value of \>5 ng/mL and must be confirmed by a second value obtained at least 4 weeks apart and without clinical or radiographic evidence of disease.
Cohort 2 - Progression-free Survival (PFS)-Overallbaseline to first occurrence of tumor progression, skeletal event, symptomatic progression, or death (up to 31.3 weeks)PFS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to first occurrence of (1) tumor progression (defined per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors \[RECIST\]) for soft tissue lesions, and/or appearance of \>=2 new lesions on bone scan (confirmed \>=6 weeks later); (2) skeletal event (pathological bone fracture and/or need for palliative radiotherapy); (3) symptomatic progression (worsening of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) and/or weight loss \>10% from baseline and/or increase in analgesic consumption and pain); or (4) Death due to any cause. PFS was censored at date of last objective progression-free observation for participants who were still alive and had not progressed. Participants who took any subsequent systemic anticancer therapy prior to progression or death were censored at date of last objective progression-free disease assessment prior to the date of the subsequent systemic anticancer therapy.
