What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    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 progressive disease, PFS was censored at the date of last visit with adequate assessment. For participants who received subsequent anticancer therapy (after discontinuation from the study treatment) prior to disease progression or death, PFS was censored at the date of last visit with adequate assessment prior to the initiation of post-discontinuation anticancer therapy.

    Measured: Randomization to measured progressive disease or death up to 14 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Expression of Tumor Markers in Tissue Samples (Tumor Markers and Genes Evaluation)

    Protein expression was planned to be measured using an Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay to determine membrane and cytoplasmic phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (pGSK3B), nuclear phosphorylated adenosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) response-element binding protein (pCREB), cytoplasmic pCREB, protein kinase C beta 2 (PKCB2), cytoplasmic phospho S6 (pS6), and cytoplasmic phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) IHC H-scores. Tumor tissue samples were to be scored using a 0 (negative, no staining) to 3+ (brightest staining) scoring system for cytoplasmic and nuclear staining, and H- scores calculated using formula: 1x(percentage of cells stained 1+) + 2x(percentage of cells stained 2+) + 3x(percentage of cells stained 3+) .

    Measured: Randomization, Cycle 2, end of study

  2. Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve During One Dosing Interval at Steady State

    Area Under the Concentration versus time curve during 1 dosing interval at steady state (AUCτ,ss) for Cycle 2 Day 1 for Enzastaurin, its metabolite LY326020 and total analytes (enzastaurin + LY326020). AUCτ,ss was calculated using concentration versus time data by post hoc estimation of enzastaurin, its metabolite LY326020, and total analytes (enzastaurin + LY326020).

    Measured: From pre-dose to 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Cycle 2

  3. Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration Curve Versus Time From Time 0 to Last Quantifiable Value (AUC0-tlast) of Capecitabine

    AUC0-tlast for Capecitabine, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was calculated from the plasma concentration-time data for each analyte for Cycle 2, Day 1.

    Measured: Pre-dose to 6 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Cycle 2

  4. Pharmacokinetics: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Capecitabine

    Cmax for Capecitabine, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5'-DFUR) and its metabolites 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was calculated from the plasma concentration-time data for each analyte for Day 1 of Cycle 2.

    Measured: From pre-dose to 6 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Cycle 2

  5. Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Objective Response Rate)

    Response rate was defined as percent of participants with objective response [CR or PR] over randomized and treated participants using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0) Guidelines. CR was defined as the disappearance of all tumor lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of LDs or complete disappearance of target lesions, with persistence (but not worsening) of one or more non-target lesions. No new lesions may have appeared.

    Measured: Randomization to last visit (up to 9.66 months)

  6. Duration of Response (DOR)

    The DOR was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause. According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST V1.0) criteria, CR was the disappearance of all tumor lesions. PR was at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions or complete disappearance of target lesions, with persistence (but not worsening) of 1 or more non-target lesions, with occurrence of no new lesions. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who did not have progressive disease, DOR was censored at the date of last visit with adequate assessment. For participants who received subsequent anticancer therapy (after discontinuation from the study treatment) prior to disease progression or death, DOR was censored at the date of last visit with adequate assessment.

    Measured: Randomization to last visit (up to 9.66 months)

  7. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time in months from the date of study enrollment to the date of death from any cause. For participants not known to have died as of the cut-off date, OS was censored at the last contact date.

    Measured: Randomization to date of death from any cause up to 20.83 months

  8. Pharmacology Toxicity and Adverse Events (AEs)

    Data presented are the number of participants who experienced serious AEs, AEs, death due to progressive disease (PD), death due to AEs while on treatment and death during the 30-day post-treatment. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Baseline to study completion [Cycle 19 (21 days/cycle) and 30-day safety follow-up]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing enzastaurin and capecitabine in people with Breast Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 20 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Australia, France, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Randomization to measured progressive disease or death up to 14 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00437294, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Aug 2020.
