Study Summary

This trial is testing LY2157299, a cancer drug, to see if it can help people with brain cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a confirmed diagnosis of recurrent glioblastoma, who have seen their cancer progress after standard treatment. They must have good performance status (able to carry out daily activities), and adequate organ function. Participants should not have other cancers or serious diseases that could interfere with the study, nor prior treatments that might affect results.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if LY2157299 alone, or combined with lomustine (a chemotherapy drug), is more effective than lomustine paired with a placebo in treating brain cancer. The goal is to determine which treatment helps patients better.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
LY2157299 and lomustine can cause side effects like fatigue, nausea, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver and kidney function alterations, and potential heart issues.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: LY2157299 monohydrate plus lomustineExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
300 mg/day LY2157299, given orally for 14 days, followed by 14 days of rest, equaling a 28-day cycle. First lomustine dose will be given as 100 mg/m2 on day 7 cycle 1. Remaining doses are based on the investigator's discretion and will be given orally once every 6 weeks in capsules to equal 100 to 130 mg/m2.
Group II: LY2157299 monohydrateExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
300 mg/day LY2157299, given orally for 14 days, followed by 14 days of rest, equaling a 28-day cycle (unblinded)
Group III: lomustine plus placeboActive Control2 Interventions
First lomustine dose will be given as 100 mg/m2 on day 7 cycle 1. Remaining doses are based on the investigator's discretion and will be given orally once every 6 weeks in capsules to equal 100 to 130 mg/m2.
