What is being measured

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

  1. Part 1: Evaluate Safety [Toxicity, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Reasons for Participant's Discontinuation]

    Presented are data that evaluates safety based on toxicity using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v3.0), SAEs, and discontinuations due to SAEs or other non-serious adverse events (AE's) of study participants. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (28-day cycle), Cycles 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (21-day cycles) and 30-day follow up

  2. Part 2: Compare Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Between the 2 Treatment Arms Through the Assessment of Tumor Response

    PFS was defined as the time from date of first dose 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 objective progressive disease (PD), PFS was censored at the date of the last objective progression-free assessment. For participants who received subsequent anticancer therapy (after discontinuation from the study treatment) prior to objective disease progression or death, PFS was censored at the date of last objective progression-free assessment prior to the initiation of post discontinuation anticancer therapy. PFS was calculated and analyzed based on an alternative definition of censoring; for each participant who is not known to have died or who have had objective disease progression as of the data cut-off date, PFS was censored at the date of last prior contact. Zero participants were analyzed in this outcome as study was terminated early.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD up to 5 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Part 2: To Evaluate the Safety and Toxicity Profile of Study Treatments

    The safety and toxicity profile for Part 2 was defined as serious adverse events (SAEs) and other non-serious adverse events (AEs). A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (28-day cycle), Cycles 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (21-day cycles) and 30-day follow-up

  2. Part 2: Number of Participants With a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Response Rate)

    Response rate was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions. Best response was confirmed by a second assessment in ≥28 days. Response rate was defined as the number of participants with best response of CR or PR divided by the total number of treated participants. Zero participants were analyzed in this outcome as study was terminated early.

    Measured: Baseline to measured progressive disease (PD) up to 5 months

  3. Part 2: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS time was defined as the time from the date of study enrollment to the date of death from any cause. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date, OS was censored at the last contact date (last contact for participants in post discontinuation was equal to the last known alive date in mortality status). Zero participants were analyzed in this outcome as study was terminated early.

    Measured: Baseline to date of death from any cause up to 5 months

  4. Part 2: Duration of Disease Control (DDC) and Response

    DDC and response defined as time from complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) to first date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause using RECIST (v1.0) criteria. CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR defined as having ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions. PD defined as having ≥20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions. SD defined as small changes not meeting above criteria. Participants not known to have died as of data cut-off date, had no objective PD or were lost to follow-up, DCC was censored at date of last objective progression-free assessment (OPFA). Participants who received subsequent anticancer therapy (after discontinuation from study treatment) prior to objective PD or death were censored at date of last OPFA prior to initiation of post discontinuation anticancer therapy. Zero participants were analyzed in this outcome as study was terminated early.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD up to 5 months

  5. Part 2: Time to Worsening of Symptoms (TWS)

    TWS was measured from the date of study enrollment to the first date of a worsening in any of the 6 Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) symptoms (appetite, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, hemoptysis and pain). Participants marked each symptom on a visual analog scale (VAS) that ranged from 0 millimeter (mm) (as good as it can be/none) to 100 mm (as bad/much as it could be). TWS was also measured individually for each of the 6 symptoms independently and were also measured from the date of enrollment to the first date of worsening in pain. For both measurements, worsening was defined as a 15-mm increase from baseline in the participant-reported score for any symptom. Participants who are not known to have had a worsening TWS were censored at the date of the participant's last LCSS assessment. Zero participants were analyzed in this outcome as study was terminated early.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (28-day cycle), Cycles 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (21-day cycles) and 30-day follow-up

  6. Part 2: To Assess Biomarkers of the Disease State and Their Correlation to Clinical Outcome

    Presented are data that evaluates of biomarkers relevant to the study drug and the disease state of the participant's clinical outcome. Zero participants were analyzed in this outcome as study was terminated early.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 1 (28-day cycle), Cycles 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (21-day cycles) and end of study up to 5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing enzastaurin, pemetrexed and cisplatin in people with Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 12 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 5 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Germany, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Romania. 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 5 Nov 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?

Part 1: Evaluate Safety [Toxicity, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Reasons for Participant's Discontinuation] (time frame: Cycle 1 (28-day cycle), Cycles 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (21-day cycles) and 30-day follow up). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Nov 2020.
