Phase 1 Study to Determine the Immunomodulatory Activity of LY2157299 Monohydrate in Patients With Solid Tumors

The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how the study drug called galunisertib
affects the immune system in participants with cancer. The study treatment is expected to
last about six months for each participant, not including screening or follow-up.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Have a confirmed diagnosis of advanced, refractory solid tumors and tumor progression
or treatment intolerance to at least 1 prior therapy.

- Have measurable disease that is amenable to a radiographic or ultrasound-guided
biopsy or may be biopsied in the office without radiologic guidance.

- Have a performance status of ≤2 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
scale.

- Have discontinued all disease-modifying therapy for the primary cancer for 28 days
prior to initiation of study treatment.

- Hepatic: bilirubin ≤1.5 times upper limits of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase
(ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤3.0 times ULN. For participants with tumor
involvement of the liver, AST and ALT equaling

≤5.0 times ULN are acceptable. Alkaline phosphatase ≤5.0 times ULN for participants
with tumor involvement of the bone is acceptable.

- Have adequate renal function, defined as serum creatinine levels ≤2.0 ULN or
calculated creatinine clearance >45 mL/min.

- Male and female participants with reproductive potential must use an approved
contraceptive method, if appropriate (for example, intrauterine device, birth control
pills, or barrier device) during and for 6 months after discontinuation of study
treatment.

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative beta-human chorionic
gonadotropin pregnancy test documented within 7 days prior to treatment. Have given
written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures.

- Are willing and able to comply with study procedures and instructions, including
completion of diaries.

- Must have received at least 1 prior approved immunotherapy or chemotherapy; however,
not within 28 days of the initial dose of study drug. May have received prior
radiotherapy for their malignancy.

- May have received treatment with an investigational product.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Are enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or
medically compatible with this study within 28 days of the initial dose of study
drug.

- Have moderate or severe cardiac disease:

- Have the presence of cardiac disease, including a myocardial infarction within 6
months prior to study entry, unstable angina pectoris, New York Heart
Association Class III/IV congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled hypertension.

- Have documented major electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities (not responding to
medical treatments) at the investigator's discretion (for example, symptomatic
or sustained atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, second- or third-degree
atrioventricular block, complete bundle branch block, ventricular hypertrophy,
or recent myocardial infarction).

- Have major abnormalities documented by echocardiography (ECHO) with Doppler (for
example, moderate or severe heart valve function defect and/or left ventricular
ejection fraction <50%, evaluation based on the institutional lower limit of
normal).

- Have predisposing conditions that are consistent with development of aneurysms
of the ascending aorta or aortic stress (for example, family history of
aneurysms, Marfan-Syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, evidence of damage to the
large vessels of the heart documented by computed tomography (CT) scan with
contrast).

- Are women who are pregnant or lactating.

- Have a serious concomitant systemic disorder (for example, active infection including
human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], hepatitis C virus [HCV], hepatitis B virus [HBV]
[ie, positive hepatitis B surface antigen [+HBsAg]]), or an autoimmune disease.

- Have a second primary malignancy or any history in any time frame of a prior
malignancy.

- Are unwilling or unable to participate in, or do not have tissue adequate for
participation in the biomarker analyses in the study.
