A Study of Oral LY317615 in Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphomas.

Overall response rate was defined as best study response (CR or PR) using modified Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) Response criteria. CR defined as the disappearance of detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease; regression of lymph nodes, nodal masses and spleen to normal size and absence of lymphoma in bone marrow infiltrate. PR was defined as a ≥50% decrease in the sum of the products of their diameters (SPD) in the 6 largest dominant nodes or nodal masses; no increase in size in the other nodes or liver or spleen; regression of nodes/lesions in organs by ≥50% in the SPD; or no new disease sites. The percentage participants was calculated as: (number of participants with CR or PR) divided by (number of participants qualified for tumor response analysis) multiplied by 100.

PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who did not have PD, PFS was censored at the date of last follow-up visit. Progression is determined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v 1.0) as 20% increase in the sum of the of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

Duration of CR or PR was defined as the time from first objective assessment to first time of disease progression or death from any cause using the modified SWOG Response criteria. CR defined as the disappearance of detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease, regression of lymph nodes, nodal masses and spleen to normal size and absence of lymphoma in bone marrow infiltrate. PR was defined as a ≥50% decrease in the SPD in the 6 largest dominant nodes or nodal masses, no increase in size in the other nodes, liver or spleen, regression of nodes/lesions in organs by ≥50% in the SPD, and no new disease sites. PD defined as >50% increase in SPD of the dominant nodal/non-nodal sites or new lesions. For participants who died, the duration of response was censored at death. For participants still alive, duration of overall response was censored at the last visit or follow-up visit. DOR was not analyzed due to low number of responders (CR or PR).

Clinically significant events were defined as serious AEs (SAEs) and other non-serious AEs. Participants who died due to PD, AEs while on treatment or died during the 30-day post-treatment period are included. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

AUC0-24,ss during 1 dosing interval at steady state for Enzastaurin and its metabolite LY326020.

Protein expression was measured (cytoplasmic staining) using an IHC assay from a small subset of tumor tissue samples that were scored using a 0 (negative, no staining) to 3+ (brightest staining) scoring system, where higher staining indicated a greater PKCβ expression.
