Carcinoma, Hepatocellular
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to estimate the median time to progression in participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) when treated with LY2157299 as monotherapy and in combination with sorafenib or ramucirumab.
Detailed description
The study consists of four Parts: Part A where HCC participants with an increased alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level will be treated with either 160 milligrams (mg) LY2157299 or 300 mg LY2157299. Part B where HCC participants with a normal AFP level will be treated with 300 mg LY2157299, Part C where treatment-naïve HCC participants will be treated with 160 mg LY2157299 + sorafenib or 300 mg LY2157299 + sorafenib, and Part D where HCC participants will be treated with either 160 mg or 300 mg LY2157299 + ramucirumab. Participants who continue to receive benefit from treatment at the time that the study is considered completed, may enter the treatment extension period and continue to receive the study treatment. The end of the study is the date of last visit or last scheduled procedure for the last active subject in the study.

Outcome results
Change From Baseline in Relationship of Biomarker Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) to Overall Survival (OS)
Biomarker response was defined as a \> 20% decrease in the biomarker AFP from baseline during 8 weeks of treatment. Data presented is median overall survival of those participants who achieved the defined biomarker response. Participants enrolled in Part A had a baseline AFP level of \>1.5 upper limit normal (ULN). Participants enrolled in Part B had baseline AFP level \<1.5 ULN.
Time frame: Baseline, discontinuation from any cause (Up to 83 months)
Population: All participants who received at least one dose of study drug, achieved a \>20% reduction in biomarker AFP, and had evaluable post-baseline biomarker data. Due to low enrollment into Part C Cohort - 160 mg reporting group, Kaplan Meier analysis for OS was not conducted in this subgroup. Per protocol, Part D collected safety data only.

Time to Progression (TTP)
TTP is measured from the date of first dose to the first date of progression of disease based on the investigator review of tumor response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (including the baseline sum if that is the smallest). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression.
Time frame: Randomization to date of first measured progressive disease (Up to 36 Weeks)
Population: All participants who receive at least one dose of study drug. Per protocol, Part D collected safety data only.

Duration of Tumor Response (DoR)
DoR is measured from the date of the first objective status assessment of a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), as determined by RECIST v1.1, to the first date of objective progression of disease or death from any cause. CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 millimeter (mm). Tumor-marker results must have normalized. PR is defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (including the baseline sum if that is the smallest). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression.
Time frame: Time of response to measured progressive disease or death from any cause (Up to 84 Weeks)

Percentage of Participants Achieving an Objective Response (Response Rate)
The percentage of participants who achieved best overall response of either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). The overall response rate for each dose with be estimated by dividing the number of confirmed responders by the number of participants who received at least one dose of study drug. Per RECIST v.1.0 criteria CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 millimeter (mm). Tumor-marker results must have normalized. PR is defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS duration is measure from the date of first dose to the first date of objective progression of disease or death from any cause.
