Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With an Objective Overall Response
Baseline to measured progressive disease or death from any cause up to 12 months

Objective overall response is complete response (CR) + partial response (PR), as classified by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. CR is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. It is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR divided by the total number of participants treated multiplied by 100.

Progression-Free Survival
First treatment dose to measured progressive disease or death from any cause up to 15.57 months

Defined as the time from date of first dose to the first observation of progression of disease (PD) or death due to any cause. PD was determined using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (version 1.0). PD is ≥20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and/or a new lesion.

Percentage of Participants With Complete Response and Partial Response (Objective Response Rate)
Baseline to measured progressive disease up to 12.68 months

Objective response is complete response (CR) + partial response (PR), as classified by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. CR is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. Objective response rate is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR divided by the total number of participants treated multiplied by 100.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Complete Response + Partial Response)
Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease (up to 60 Months)

Participants achieved an objective response if they had a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1), CR was the disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions, with the short axes of any target lymph node reduced to \<10 mm, the disappearance of all non-target lesions, and the normalization of tumor marker levels (if tumor markers were initially above the upper limit of normal); PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (including the short axes of any target lymph node), taking as reference the baseline sum diameter. For each participant who is not known to have died or to have had objective progression of disease as of the data-inclusion cut-off date for a particular analysis, duration of tumor response was to be censored at the date of the participant's last objective tumor assessment prior to that cut-off date.

Time to Progression
First dose to measured progressive disease or death from study disease up to 10.35 months

Defined as the time from date of first dose to the first observation of progression of disease (PD) or death from study disease. PD was determined using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (version 1.0). PD is ≥20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and/or a new lesion.

Recommended Phase 2 Dose
Predose up to 28 days postdose in Cycle 1

Recommended Phase 2 dose was determined by maximum tolerated dose (MTD), which is corrected for the participant's predose albumin to identify the albumin-corrected exposure range of LY 573636 when combined with liposomal doxorubicin. MTD is the highest dose with \<33% of participants having a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the first 28-day cycle of treatment. DLT is an adverse event (AE) that is likely related to the study drug or combination and fulfills any 1 of the following: Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE, Version 3.0) Grade (Gr) 4 hematologic toxicity; Gr 3 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding controllable nausea/vomiting or diarrhea and alopecia); Gr 3 electrolyte toxicity that is not resolved with standard treatments. Those who enter the study with Gr 2 hepatic enzyme abnormalities, DLT for an isolated Gr 3 hepatic enzyme abnormality is determined by investigators; a DLT can be declared if a participant experiences increasing toxicity during treatment.

Recommended Phase 2 Dose of LY573636-Sodium in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Essential Thrombocythemia (ET)
Predose up to 35 days postdose in Cycle 1

Recommended Phase 2 dose was determined by maximum tolerated dose (MTD). MTD is the highest dose at which no more than 1 of 6 participants experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and level immediately below that which had ≥2 instances of DLT. A DLT is an adverse event (AE) observed during the first cycle of treatment that is believed to be related to LY573636 and fulfills any of the following: ET only , Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE, Version 3.0) Grade (Gr) 4 hematologic toxicity for ≥3 days; For all, ≥Gr 3 nonhematological toxicity except for nausea/vomiting or diarrhea unless it fits the next criteria; ≥Gr 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that persists \>7 days despite maximal treatment; Gr 3 electrolyte disturbances that persist despite maximal measures; DLT can be declared if a participant experienced increasing toxicity during treatment. The primary outcome measure was not analyzed because the enrollment was stopped early before MTD was reached.

Recommended Dose for Phase 2 Studies of LY573636-Sodium Combined With Sunitinib in Participants With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Predose up to 42 days postdose in Cycle 1 (6 weeks per cycle)

Recommended Phase 2 dose was determined by maximum tolerated dose (MTD). MTD is the highest dose with \<33% of participants having a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first 6-week cycle of treatment. DLT is an adverse event (AE) that is likely related to study drug or combination and fulfills any 1 of the following: Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE, Version 3.0) Grade (Gr) 4 neutropenia lasting ≥5 days; Gr 4 neutropenia with fever; Gr 4 thrombocytopenia; Gr ≥3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding; Gr ≥3 nonhematologic toxicity (excluding controllable nausea/vomiting or diarrhea and alopecia); Gr 3 electrolyte toxicity that is not resolved with standard treatments; Gr ≥3 elevated hepatic enzyme abnormalities in the setting of preexisting hepatic metastasis may not be considered a DLT; a DLT can be declared if a participant experiences increasing toxicity during treatment.
