About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Study of LY573636-sodium in Combination With Alimta (Pemetrexed) in Patients With Solid Tumors

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LY573636Drug

    Also called Tasisulam

    Individualized dose is dependent on a patient's height, weight, and gender and is adjusted to target a specific exposure range corrected for a patient's laboratory parameters. Intravenous dosing is completed once per cycle (cycle equals either 21 or 28 days).

    Patients may continue on study drug until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met.

    Patients are pretreated with folic acid [350 micrograms (µg) to 1000 µg orally, daily], Vitamin B12 (1000 µg intramuscular injection every 9 weeks), and dexamethasone [4 milligrams (mg) orally, twice daily or equivalent].

  • PemetrexedDrug

    Also called LY231514, Alimta

    375 to 500 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2), intravenous dosing is completed once per cycle (cycle equals either 21 or 28 days).

    Patients may continue on study drug until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met.

    Patients are pretreated with folic acid (350 µg to 1000 µg orally, daily), Vitamin B12 (1000 µg intramuscular injection every 9 weeks), and dexamethasone (4 mg orally, twice daily or equivalent).

What is being measured

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

  1. Recommended Phase 2 Dose

    Based on maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in Cycle 1: highest dose where <33% participants (pts) had dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). DLTs were adverse events (AE) possibly related to study drug or AEs that met any of National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (CTAE): Grade (G) 4 neutropenia lasting ≥5 days; G4 neutropenia with fever, G4 thrombocytopenia, G3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, ≥G3 non-hematologic toxicity (except nausea/vomiting and diarrhea controlled by medication; electrolyte toxicity resolved with standard replacement treatment; alopecia; and elevated alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase with preexisting hepatic metastasis, if agreed by investigator). Investigators, with sponsor, could declare a DLT if pt experienced increasing toxicity during treatment and it was clear that further treatment would expose pt to excessive risk. Enrollment was stopped during the dose-escalation phase, thus further dose-escalation was not explored.

    Measured: Baseline to toxicity [up to end of Cycle 1 (cycle = 21 or 28 days)]

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Effects

    Clinically significant effects were defined as serious and other non-serious adverse events (AEs) regardless of causality. A summary of serious and all other non-serious AEs is located in the Reported Adverse Events module.

    Measured: Baseline to end of study (up to 1 year of treatment plus 30-day follow-up)

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Tumor Response

    Tumor response was evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria and confirmed by repeat assessment. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and the normalization of tumor marker levels for non-target lesions; Partial Response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Percentage of participants with a tumor response = (number of participants with CR or PR/number of enrolled participants)*100.

    Measured: Baseline to progressive disease (up to 1 year of treatment plus 30-day follow-up)

  3. Pharmacokinetics, Concentration Maximum (Cmax) of LY573636

    Measured: Cycles 1 and 2 on Day 4 (prior to and at the end of LY573636 infusion, 2 and 4 hours post LY573636 infusion), Day 8 (anytime), Day 15 (anytime)

  4. Pharmacokinetics, Area Under the Curve (AUC) of LY573636

    Area under the concentration-time curve above the albumin corrected threshold (AUCalb) is provided for LY573636, which has been found to be highly bound to albumin. AUCalb is a surrogate measure of exposure to unbound (free) LY573636.

    Measured: Cycles 1 and 2 on Day 4 (prior to and at the end of LY573636 infusion, 2 and 4 hours post LY573636 infusion), Day 8 (anytime), Day 15 (anytime)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LY573636 and Pemetrexed in people with Solid Tumors, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 15 Mar 2019). 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?

Recommended Phase 2 Dose (time frame: Baseline to toxicity [up to end of Cycle 1 (cycle = 21 or 28 days)]). 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 15 Mar 2019.
