Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: 300 mg LY2495655 + chemotherapy
300 mg LY2495655 intravenous (IV) in combination with standard of care chemotherapy (investigator's choice)
|
Drug: LY2495655
Intravenous (IV) treatment every 14 days while on study. Number of Cycles: until treatment options are exhausted or unacceptable toxicity develops. Drug: Standard of Care Chemotherapy Standard of care, gemcitabine-based regimen (single-agent gemcitabine or gemcitabine plus erlotinib) or FOLFIRINOX (combination chemotherapy regimen including 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan). The choice of gemcitabine-based regimen or FOLFIRINOX will be determined by the investigator (based on the standard of care used at the treating institution or as directed by local regulatory authorities). |

- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Death from Any Cause (Up to 23 months) ]Overall survival (OS) duration was measured from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Disease Progression or Death from Any Cause (Up to 16 months) ]PFS was defined as the time from date of first dose to the first observation of disease progression or death from any cause. PD was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1) criteria. PD is ≥20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and/or a new lesion.
- Percentage of Participants With Tumor Response Rate (RR) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Disease Progression (Up to 11 months) ]Response rate (RR) was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.1) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 millimeter (mm) and normalization of tumor marker level of non-target lesions; Partial Response (PR) was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as having at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and minimum 5 mm increase above nadir; Stable Disease (SD) was defined as small changes that did not meet above criteria.
- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: First CR or PR to Disease Progression (Up to 11 months) ]The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.1) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions, with the short axes of any target lymph nodes reduced to <10 millimeters (mm). Partial Response (PR) was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (including the short axes of any target lymph nodes), taking as reference the baseline sum diameter.
- Change in Lean Body Mass [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11; Day 1 ]Change in lean body mass was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
- Change in Physical Performance Measures Using Hand Grip Strength [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycles 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10; Day 1 ]Hand grip strength (HGS) of the non-dominant hand measured using a hand dynamometer.
- Change in Physical Performance Measures Using the Time Up and Go (TUG) Test [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycles 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10; Day 1 ]Time Up and Go (TUG) is a timed walking test designed to measure gait performance and balance. It measures in seconds the time taken by an individual to stand up from a standard arm chair (approximate seat height of 46 cm [18in], arm height 65 cm [25.6 in]), walk a distance of 3 meters (118 inches, approximately 10 feet), turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down.
- Change in Physical Performance Measures Using the 6 Minute Walk Test [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycles 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10; Day 1 ]The 6 minute walk test measured the distance walked in 6 minutes, as quickly as possible, without running.
- Change in Physical Performance Measures Using Stair Climbing Time (StC) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11; Day 1 ]Stair climbing time (StC) measured the ascend and descend of a flight of 12 steps (each step 18 cm high and 28 cm deep).
- Change in Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycles 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10; Day 1 ]Data from PRO scales are not be presented. An error in coding the scales (coded differently early and late in the study) occurred. Unable to determine which results were affected therefore analysis not completed.
- Change in Pain Scale Physical Functioning [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycles 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10; Day 1 ]The 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) pain scale is a generic, health-related scale assessing participant's quality of life on 8 domains: physical functioning, social functioning, bodily pain, vitality, mental health, role-physical, role-emotional and general health and 2 summary scores (mental component summary [MCS] and physical component summary [PCS]). The PCS physical functioning domain score ranges from 0 to 100 (higher scores indicate better health status).
- Number of Participants With Anti-LY2495655 Antibodies [ Time Frame: Cycle 1, Day 1 and Day 29 (Pre-Dose); Cycle 6 Day 1 ]
