About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Study of LY2835219 in Combination With Multiple Single Agent Options for Patients With Stage IV NSCLC

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of abemaciclib in combination with another anti-cancer drug in participants with NSCLC that is advanced or has spread to other parts of the body (stage IV). The study will also investigate how the body processes the combination treatment and how the study drug affects the body. The study will also collect disease-related symptoms and participant-reported pain related to NSCLC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) or DLT-equivalent in Part A, B, C, D and E

    A DLT defined as adverse event(AE) occurring between Day 1 and Day 21 of Cycle 1 that was considered at least possibly related to either abemaciclib or the combination therapy and fulfilled a criteria selected (using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events,version 4.0 [NCI-CTCAE v 4.0] [NCI 2009]):Grade(Gr)≥3 nonhematological toxicity,Gr4 thrombocytopenia lasting at least 5 days and/or complicated with bleeding,Gr≥3 febrile neutropenia(ntr) and for Part D participants (pts): Gr3 hyperglycemia (fasting) of <5 days, Gr3 hypertriglyceridemia or hyperlipidemia without optimal treatment.A DLT-equivalent defined as AE that would have met the criteria for DLT if it had occurred during Cycle 1 for pts enrolled in dose-escalation phase,but that occurs between 1)Day 1 and Day 21 of Cycle 2 and beyond for a participant enrolled in dose-escalation phase 2) at any time for a participant in dose-expansion phase.

    Measured: Baseline through study completion (Up To 15 Months)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Number of Participants Achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Overall Response Rate [ORR]) in Part A, B, C, D and E

    ORR is the best response of CR or PR as classified by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). CR is a disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. PR is an at least 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameter) without progression of not-target lesions or appearance of new lesions. Overall response rate is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR divided by the total number of participants with at least 1 measurable lesion, multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Baseline through study completion (Up To 15 Months)

  2. Progression Free Survival Time in Part A, B, C, D and E

    Progression free survival (PFS) defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first evidence of disease progression as defined by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death from any cause. Progressive Disease (PD) was at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, with reference being the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or 1 or more new lesions. If a participant does not have a complete baseline disease assessment, then the PFS time was censored at the date of randomization, regardless of whether or not objectively determined disease progression or death has been observed for the participant. If a participant was not known to have died or have objective progression as of the data inclusion cutoff date for the analysis, the PFS time was censored at the last adequate tumor assessment date. PFS time was summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: Date of first dose until first documented progression or death (Up To 15 Months)

  3. Change From Baseline in MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Scale-Lung Cancer (MDASI-LC) in Part A, B, C, D and E

    The MDASI-LC is a self-reported lung cancer instrument included 22 items covered by one of the following dimensions: Mean core symptom severity (Core items 1-13: pain, fatigue, nausea, disturbed sleep, distress, shortness of breath, remembering things, lack of appetite, drowsy, dry mouth, sad, vomiting, numbness/tingling), Lung cancer symptoms (3 items: coughing, constipation, sore throat), Mean symptom severity (13 core items plus 3 lung items) and Interference with mood or functional status (6 items: general activity, mood, work, relations with other people, walking, enjoyment of life). The mean of all symptom subscale items was calculated where 0 equals "not present" and 10 equals "as bad as you can imagine." A change from baseline with negative values indicate improvement, positive values indicate worsening.

    Measured: Baseline, through study completion (Up To 15 Months)

  4. Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Abemaciclib on Day 1 and at Steady State (Cycle 2 Day 1) in Part A , B, C, D and E

    Cmax of Abemaciclib on day 1 and at steady State (Cycle 2 Day 1) Part A , B, C, D and E was evaluated.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 h post-dose; Cycle 2 Day 1 (C2D1) pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 h post-dose

  5. Pharmacokinetics: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Pemetrexed at Steady State in Part A

    Cmax of pemetrexed at steady state in Part A was evaluated.

    Measured: C2D1 pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 h post-dose

  6. PK: Dose-normalized Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Active Gemcitabine Metabolite: 2',2'-Difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU) on Day 1 and at Steady State (Cycle 2 Day 1) in Part B

    Cmax of active gemcitabine metabolite (dFdU) on day 1 and at steady state (Cycle 2 Day 1) dose-normalized to 1250 mg/m^2 in Part B was evaluated.

    Measured: C1D1 pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 h post-dose; C2D1 pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 h post-dose

    Cmax of ramucirumab at 1 hour post-end-of-Infusion in Part C was evaluated.

    Measured: C1D1 and C2D1: 1 hour post-end-of-infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Abemaciclib, Pemetrexed and Gemcitabine in people with Carcinoma, Non-small Cell Lung, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 11 sites in 2 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 16 inclusion and 27 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 11 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, Spain. 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 11 Sep 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?

Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) or DLT-equivalent in Part A, B, C, D and E (time frame: Baseline through study completion (Up To 15 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 NCT02079636, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 11 Sep 2020.
