Brief summary

The goal of this study is to determine the dose of LY573636-sodium (hereafter referred to as LY573636) that can be administered safely in combination with liposomal doxorubicin in patients with advanced cancer who have failed a prior treatment. The study consists of a dose escalation phase to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and a dose confirmation phase in patients with platinum resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have never been treated with doxorubicin.

Interventions

Individualized dose is dependent on participant's height, weight, gender and is adjusted to target a specific exposure range corrected for a participant's laboratory parameters. Intravenous dosing is done on Day 1 of a 28-day cycle. Participants may continue on study drug until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, cumulative dose of 550 milligrams per square meter (mg/m²) of liposomal doxorubicin or doxorubicin is reached, or other withdrawal criterion is met.

DRUGLiposomal Doxorubicin

40 mg/m² on Day 1, given intravenously of each 28-day cycle Participants may continue on study drug until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, cumulative dose of 550 mg/m² of liposomal doxorubicin or doxorubicin is reached, or other withdrawal criterion are met.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Recommended Phase 2 DosePredose up to 28 days postdose in Cycle 1Recommended Phase 2 dose was determined by maximum tolerated dose (MTD), which is corrected for the participant's predose albumin to identify the albumin-corrected exposure range of LY 573636 when combined with liposomal doxorubicin. MTD is the highest dose with \<33% of participants having a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the first 28-day cycle of treatment. DLT is an adverse event (AE) that is likely related to the study drug or combination and fulfills any 1 of the following: Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE, Version 3.0) Grade (Gr) 4 hematologic toxicity; Gr 3 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding controllable nausea/vomiting or diarrhea and alopecia); Gr 3 electrolyte toxicity that is not resolved with standard treatments. Those who enter the study with Gr 2 hepatic enzyme abnormalities, DLT for an isolated Gr 3 hepatic enzyme abnormality is determined by investigators; a DLT can be declared if a participant experiences increasing toxicity during treatment.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant EventsBaseline to study completion up to 18.49 monthsClinically significant events are defined as serious adverse events (SAEs), regardless of causality, during the study including the 30-day follow-up period. A summary of SAEs and other nonserious adverse events is located in the Reported Adverse Event section. Death due to progressive disease was not considered as an SAE.

Number of Participants With Tumor ResponseBaseline to measured progressive disease up to 4.7 monthsNumber of participants with tumor response = number of participants with complete response (CR) + number of participants with partial response (PR), as classified by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. CR is the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is a ≥30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter of target lesions.

Outcome results

Primary

Recommended Phase 2 Dose

Recommended Phase 2 dose was determined by maximum tolerated dose (MTD), which is corrected for the participant's predose albumin to identify the albumin-corrected exposure range of LY 573636 when combined with liposomal doxorubicin. MTD is the highest dose with \<33% of participants having a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the first 28-day cycle of treatment. DLT is an adverse event (AE) that is likely related to the study drug or combination and fulfills any 1 of the following: Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE, Version 3.0) Grade (Gr) 4 hematologic toxicity; Gr 3 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding controllable nausea/vomiting or diarrhea and alopecia); Gr 3 electrolyte toxicity that is not resolved with standard treatments. Those who enter the study with Gr 2 hepatic enzyme abnormalities, DLT for an isolated Gr 3 hepatic enzyme abnormality is determined by investigators; a DLT can be declared if a participant experiences increasing toxicity during treatment.

Time frame: Predose up to 28 days postdose in Cycle 1
