Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to estimate the rate of response for patients with ovarian, non-small cell lung, prostate, colorectal, gastroesophageal, and head and neck cancers who are administered LY2523355.

Interventions

Dose determined by participant body surface area: 5 milligrams/square meter(mg/m²) or 6 mg/m², administered intravenously as a 1-hour infusion on Days 1, 2 and 3 of a 21 day cycle; for up to 2 cycles (4 cycles for prostate cancer patients). Additional cycles administered based on patient response assessment.

DRUGpegfilgrastim

6 milligrams (mg), administered subcutaneously approximately 24 hours after third dose of LY2523355 on Day 4 of each 21-day cycle, for up to 2 cycles of LY2523355 administration (4 cycles for prostate cancer patients). Additional cycles of LY2523355 administered based on patient response assessment.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)Baseline until progressive disease up to 36 weeks post-baselineThe percentage of participants who achieved a best response of either CR or PR, as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 guidelines. 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. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and for prostate cancer PR was defined as a ≥50% decrease in baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value that was confirmed with a second value ≥3 weeks later. 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. Percentage is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR divided by the total number of participants treated multiplied by 100.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Date of enrollment to progressive disease or death due to any cause up to 36 weeks post-enrollmentPFS defined as the time from date of first dose to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and minimum 5 millimeter (mm) increase over nadir. For participants who were not known to have died or to have progressed as of the data inclusion cutoff date, PFS were censored at the date of the last objective progression-free disease assessment prior to the date of any subsequent systemic anticancer therapy.

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. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and for prostate cancer PR was defined as a ≥50% decrease in baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value that was confirmed with a second value ≥3 weeks later. 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. SD was defined as small changes that did not meet above criteria.
