Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR): Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Baseline through Disease Progression (Up to 6 months)

Overall response rate is the best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as classified by the independent central review 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 non-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 per cohort with at least 1 measurable lesion, multiplied by 100.

Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Objective Response Rate [ORR])
Baseline to 10 months

ORR was the percentage of participants achieving a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. CR defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of new lesions. PR defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (LD) of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum LD), no progression of non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions

Frequently asked questions about Prexasertib

What is Prexasertib used for?

Prexasertib is an investigational small molecule being studied in oncology for several advanced cancers, including small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, solid tumors, neoplasm metastasis, advanced cancer, and head and neck neoplasms. It is not approved and remains in clinical development.

What does Prexasertib target?

Prexasertib is a small molecule that targets CHK1, a checkpoint kinase involved in the DNA damage response. By inhibiting CHK1, it is intended to disrupt cancer cell repair mechanisms, though its exact mechanism in each indication is still under investigation.

Who makes Prexasertib?

Prexasertib is being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical company traded on the NYSE under the ticker LLY. The drug is currently in clinical trials, with no approved indications to date.

What phase is Prexasertib in?

Prexasertib has completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials. It is an investigational drug, not FDA approved, and is no longer in active clinical development according to the latest trial data, which shows all three studies completed.

What clinical trials is Prexasertib in?

Prexasertib has been studied in three completed trials: NCT02514603 in Japanese patients with advanced cancers, NCT02735980 in extensive stage small cell lung cancer, and NCT03057145 combining prexasertib with olaparib in advanced solid tumors. A fourth trial, NCT03414047, examined it in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Is Prexasertib the same as LY2606368?

Yes, Prexasertib is also known as LY2606368. Clinical trial titles refer to the drug as prexasertib (LY2606368), confirming that both names refer to the same investigational compound.
