E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To characterize both the time-to-progression (TTP) distributions and the
effect on transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b)-associated serum
biomarkers (for example, TGF-b, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), E-cadherin) of
study treatment in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate the safety of LY2157299 as monotherapy and in combination with sorafenib
- To evaluate the population PK of LY2157299 as monotherapy and in combination with sorafenib
- To recommend which doses of LY2157299 as monotherapy and in combination with sorafenib to use in future trials with HCC patients
- To characterize other time-to-event distributions, such as PFS, OS
- To estimate antitumor efficacy using response rate
- To assess PRO measures of disease-specific symptoms and healthrelated quality of life.
- To explore E-cadherin, pSMAD, and b-integrin and other markers presence in the original diagnostic tumor tissue and optional posttreatment tumor tissue and the correlation of this with both clinical efficacy endpoints and biomarker response
- To explore the utility of exploratory imaging techniques to assess treatment effect with LY2157299 as monotherapy or in combination with sorafenib when possible
- To explore fibrosis-related biomarkers, such as Fibrotest |

GERMANY Site 401 (Johannes Gutenberg Universität) ONLY:
Protocol addendum H9H-MC-JBAK (2) 14Jun12
This addendum is only applicable to site 401 in Germany
For this addendum, analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and tumor tissue collected from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) enrolled in Study JBAK will be part of a ongoing study at Johannes Gutenberg University to establish a relationship between genetic signatures and clinical outcome. The site will obtain comprehensive genetic information by means of Next Generation Sequencing, microarray analysis, and immunohistochemistry. Results from these high-throughput analyses will be subject to comparison to clinical data of response and adverse events.
Participation in this addendum is optional for all patients enrolled in Study JBAK at the Johannes Gutenberg University site in Germany.
The following analyses and experiments will be performed:
1. Evaluation of genetic signatures from PBMC of patients with HCC under LY2157299 treatment by means of Next Generation Sequencing and comparison to clinical course
2. Microarray analysis of HCC tissue from patients with HCC under LY2157299 treatment and comparison to clinical course
3. Analysis of cancer stem cell markers in HCC tissue of patients with HCC under LY2157299 treatment and comparison to clinical course
Sample collection will be as follows:
• Tumor biopsies will be collected before Cycle 1 Day 1.
• Blood samples will be collected at baseline for PBMC analysis.
• Additional blood samples may be taken during the course of treatment, if needed.
Analysis of these samples will occur at Johannes Gutenberg University following the institutional procedures.
