Inclusion criteria

* Histological or cytological evidence of a diagnosis of solid tumor that is advanced and/or metastatic. * In the judgment of the investigator, participants must be appropriate candidates for experimental therapy after available standard therapies have failed or for whom standard therapy is not appropriate. * Performance status of less than or equal to (≤) 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale. * Adequate organ function, including hematologic, hepatic, and renal. * Estimated life expectancy of greater than or equal to (≥) 12 weeks.

Exclusion criteria

* Received previous therapy for cancer within 14 or 21 days of the initial dose of study drug for a nonmyelosuppressive or myelosuppressive agents, respectively. * Have serious preexisting medical conditions. * Have current or recent (within 3 months of study drug administration) gastrointestinal disease with chronic or intermittent diarrhea. * Have an active bacterial, fungal, and/or known viral infection. * Have known acute or chronic leukemia or current hematologic malignancies that may affect the interpretation of results.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With LY3039478 Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Cycle 1 (Up to 28 Days)DLT was defined as an adverse event (AE) that occurred during Cycle 1 (first 28 days) related to the study drug and met one of the following criteria per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. These criteria included: CTCAE Grade greater than or equal to (≥) 3 non-hematological toxicity, with exceptions for nausea, vomiting, or constipation, and asymptomatic electrolyte disturbances that can be controlled with standard treatment; Grade 4 hematological toxicity of greater than (\>) 5 days duration; Grade ≥ 3 anemia requiring transfusion; any febrile neutropenia; neutropenia needing granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (GCSFs); Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding or requiring platelet transfusion; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response Rate (ORR): Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)Baseline through Measured Progressive Disease (Up To 100 Weeks)* The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving either a CR or PR. Tumor response was assessed based on histology: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) was used for solid tumors, and Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria were used for glioblastoma. * CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions, with any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) showing a reduction in the short axis to \<10 mm. Additionally, tumor marker results were required to have normalized. PR was defined as a decrease of at least 30% in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, using baseline diameters as the reference.
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of LY3039478Cycle 1, Day 1 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose); Cycle 1 Day 22 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose)PK: Cmax of LY3039478 was reported.
PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From 0 to 24 Hours (AUC (0-24)) of LY3039478Cycle 1, Day 1 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose); Cycle 1 Day 22 (Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose)PK: AUC (0-24) of LY3039478 was reported.

Recruitment details

* This study was a dose-escalation trial that included separate groups of participants who received 25 milligrams (mg) or 50 mg of LY3039478, administered orally three times per week (TIW) in a 28-day cycle. * The dose was escalated from 25 mg to 50 mg only if the frequency of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in Cycle 1 (28 days) was less than 33 percent (\<33%) among participants who had received 25 mg LY3039478.

Number of Participants With LY3039478 Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

DLT was defined as an adverse event (AE) that occurred during Cycle 1 (first 28 days) related to the study drug and met one of the following criteria per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. These criteria included: CTCAE Grade greater than or equal to (≥) 3 non-hematological toxicity, with exceptions for nausea, vomiting, or constipation, and asymptomatic electrolyte disturbances that can be controlled with standard treatment; Grade 4 hematological toxicity of greater than (\>) 5 days duration; Grade ≥ 3 anemia requiring transfusion; any febrile neutropenia; neutropenia needing granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (GCSFs); Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding or requiring platelet transfusion; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia.
