08:02 EDTLLYEli Lilly's Enzastaurin Phase III study did not meet primary endpoint
Eli Lilly announced Phase III clinical trial results from enzastaurin's PRELUDE study, which explored the molecule as a monotherapy in the prevention of relapse in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The study failed to show a statistically significant increase compared to placebo in disease-free survival in patients at high risk of relapse following rituximab-based chemotherapy. There were no new safety findings, and the safety data were consistent with previously disclosed studies. Lilly will stop development of enzastaurin, which is expected to result in a second-quarter charge to R&D expense of approximately $30M. The company's previously-issued financial guidance for 2013 remains unchanged.
