Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of Participants with a Complete Response (CR) in the Delayed Phase of CINV

CR defined as no vomiting and no rescue medication

Time frame
24 to 120 hours after first chemotherapy infusion

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of Participants with a CR to CINV

CR defined as no vomiting and no rescue medication

Time frame
Zero to 120 hours after the first chemotherapy infusion
2

Proportion of Participants with a Response of 0 in the Nausea Item of the Vomiting and Nausea Diary and No Rescue Medication

Participants will self-report nausea severity via three questions. Items are rated on a 10-point numeric scale. Scores range from 0 (no nausea) to 10 (worst possible nausea). Lower scores are better.

Time frame
Zero to 120 hours after the first chemotherapy infusion
3

Proportion of Participants with a Response of Less than or Equal to (≤)3 in the Nausea Item of the Vomiting and Nausea Diary and No Rescue Medication

Participants will self-report nausea severity via three questions. Items are rated on a 10-point numeric scale. Scores range from 0 (no nausea) to 10 (worst possible nausea). Lower scores are better.

Time frame
Zero to 120 hours after the first chemotherapy infusion
4

Pharmacokinetics (PK) Trough Concentrations (Ctrough) of LY3537021

Time frame
From Day 1 of Cycle 1 until Day 1 of Cycle 2 (each cycle is expected to be 14, 21 or 28 days)
