Brief summary:
The reason for this study is to compare the efficacy of abemaciclib, in combination with fulvestrant, to that of physician's choice of chemotherapy in women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer that has spread to internal organs. Your participation in this trial could last up to 31 months, depending on your cancer type and how you and your tumor respond.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: 150 milligram (mg) Abemaciclib given orally twice a day (BID) with 500 mg fulvestrant given by intramuscular (IM) injection on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) and Cycle 1 Day 15 (C1D15), then Day 1 of each subsequent cycle. arm 2: Standard chemotherapy of physician's choice (capecitabine, docetaxel, nab paclitaxel, or paclitaxel), administered according to product label.

Interventions: intervention 1: Abemaciclib intervention 2: Fulvestrant intervention 3: Standard Chemotherapy
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Administered orally intervention 2: Administered IM intervention 3: Standard chemotherapy of physician's choice administered according to product label.

Synopsis
Protocol Title:
A Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized-Controlled Study of Abemaciclib, a CDK4 and 6 
inhibitor, in Combination with Fulvestrant Compared to Chemotherapy in Women with HR 
Positive, HER2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer with Visceral Metastases
Short Title:
A Study of Abemaciclib in Combination with Fulvestrant Compared to Chemotherapy in 
Women with HR+, HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer with Visceral Metastases
Rationale: 
The use of cytotoxic chemotherapy may be initiated earlier in the course of hormone receptor 
positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) metastatic breast 
cancer (MBC) than recommended by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and 
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, potentially denying patients an
effective and tolerable standard of care (SOC) regimen containing endocrine therapy (ET). 
The proposed Study I3Y-MC-JPCU (hereafter referred to as Study JPCU) will compare the 
efficacy of abemaciclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6 inhibitor, in combination with 
fulvestrant to that of physician’s choice of  chemotherapy (capecitabine, docetaxel, nab-
paclitaxel or paclitaxel) in patients with HR+, HER2- MBC with at least 1 site of visceral 
metastases and at least 1 line of prior ET.  Efficacy will be measured by the primary endpoint 
objective response rate (ORR).

Overall Design:
Study JPCU is a multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled study of abemaciclib in 
combination with fulvestrant compared to physician’s choice of chemotherapy in women with 
HR+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (hereafter referred to as “metastatic
breast cancer”) who have poor prognosis due to visceral metastases. 
Disclosure Statement: 
This is a parallel group treatment study with 2 arms and no masking.
Number of Patients:
Approximately 300 patients will be randomized in the study.

Introduction
2.1.
Study Rationale
Both the ASCO and NCCN guidelines recommend initial sequential use of ET-based treatment 
over cytotoxic chemotherapy in the treatment of HR+, HER2- MBC due to the superior benefit-
risk profile of the former therapeutic strategy (Rugo et al. 2016; NCCN 2018).  However, data 
from a survey of United States (US) oncologists suggests that cytotoxic chemotherapy may be 
initiated earlier in the course of MBC than recommended by consensus guidelines, potentially 
denying patients an effective and tolerable SOC ET-based therapy (Lin et al. 2016).  
Study JPCU aims to compare the efficacy of ET fulvestrant in combination with abemaciclib, a 
CDK 4 and 6 inhibitor, to that of physician’s choice of chemotherapy (capecitabine, docetaxel, 
nab-paclitaxel, or paclitaxel) in patients with HR+, HER2- MBC with at least 1 site of visceral 
metastases.  Efficacy will be measured by the primary endpoint ORR.
2.2.
Background
Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and accounts for the second 
highest number of cancer deaths among women globally (CDC Breast Cancer).  While the 
prognosis for locally occurring disease is typically promising, the outlook for MBC (metastatic
breast cancer) is poor, with a median overall survival (OS) of 2 to 3 years and a 5-year survival 
rate of only ~25% (Harbeck and Gnant 2017; Cardoso et al. 2018). 
Clinical decision-making for the management of patients with MBC takes into account multiple 
clinical factors such as HR/HER2 status, age, comorbidities, and patient preference. More 
specifically, treatment options for women with breast cancer are largely determined by tumor HR 
and HER2 status. For patients with HR+ HER2- MBC, treatment includes ET (e.g., anastrazole, 
letrozole, fulvestrant) alone or in combination with the CDK 4 and 6 inhibitors (such as 
abemaciclib, palbociclib, or ribociclib), as well as standard chemotherapy (e.g. capecitabine, 
docetaxel, paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel [NCCN 2018; Waks and Winer 2019]).  Growing evidence 
has suggested visceral metastasis and sites of metastases as potential prognostic factors for 
patients with HR+ MBC (Solomayer et al. 2000; Leone et al. 2017; Di Leo et al. 2018). 
Furthermore, possible improvements in treatment effect have been observed in patients with 
visceral metastases compared to non-visceral metastases (Di Leo et al. 2018).  
“Visceral crisis” is a well described clinical syndrome characterized by rapid cancer progression 
causing fulminant or impending organ dysfunction (Cardoso et al. 2018). Regardless of HR and 
HER2 status, there is uniform agreement on the initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy for patients 
in visceral crisis (Cardoso et al. 2016; Rugo et al. 2016; NCCN 2018).  However, in the absence 
of visceral crisis, ASCO (Rugo et al. 2016) and NCCN 2019 guidelines recommend sequential 
use of ET-based treatment prior to the initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy, due to the greater 
tolerability of the former class of agents (Cardoso et al. 2018).  Nevertheless, a real-world 
retrospective Flatiron Health database analysis of HR+ HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC)
patients, diagnosed and treated between 01 March 2017 to 28 February 2019 showed that of

Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219
21
2392 treated patients, 16.6% received chemotherapy as first line treatment while the most 
common first line treatments were CDK-based therapies (50% [Flatiron Health HER-derived 
database]). Of those receiving an ET as the first line therapy, 10.6% received chemotherapy as 
the second line of therapy.  The most frequently used mono chemotherapeutics were paclitaxel, 
capecitabine, and nab-paclitaxel. The factors influencing choice of chemotherapy include new 
mechanism of action, response to prior therapies and tolerability of the chemotherapy. In a 
survey of community-based US cancer specialists, approximately 30% of physicians reported the 
presence of organ threatening disease or ”visceral crisis” as the rationale for starting 
chemotherapy (Lin et al. 2016).  These data suggest discontinuation of ET occurs earlier than 
recommended in favor of chemotherapy in spite of the less favorable tolerability profile of 
chemotherapy.  
Abemaciclib, a potent inhibitor of the CDK 4 and 6 pathway, in combination with a non-
steroidal aromatase inhibitor when administered as first-line treatment (Study I3Y-MC-JPBM) 
and the addition of abemaciclib in combination with fulvestrant as second-line treatment 
following disease progression on ET (Study I3Y-MC-JPBL) significantly improved progression-
free survival (PFS) in patients with HR+ HER2- MBC (Goetz et al. 2017; Sledge et al. 2017). In 
addition, the combination treatment was generally well tolerated, with diarrhea and neutropenia 
being the only treatment emergent adverse events of Grade 3/4 severity occurring in more than 
10% of patients (diarrhea [%]:  13/0; neutropenia [%]:  24/3 in Study I3Y-MC-JPBL [Sledge et 
al. 2017)). The overall positive benefit risk profile of abemaciclib in combination with 
fulvestrant is consistent with the overarching goal of current guidelines offering sequential ET 
until ET options have exhausted with HR+, HER2- MBC (Verzenio package insert).  
Importantly, the benefit from abemaciclib was observed in all patient subgroups including 
patients with poor prognostic features such as visceral metastases (Di Leo et al. 2018). Study 
I3Y-MC-JPCU will assess if abemaciclib and fulvestrant in combination have comparable 
efficacy, as defined in Section 9.1, to physician’s choice of chemotherapy by measuring ORR in 
patients with HR+, HER2- MBC with the presence of visceral metastases.

Study Design
4.1.
Overall Design
Study JPCU is a multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled study of abemaciclib, a CDK 4 
and 6 inhibitor, in combination with fulvestrant compared to physician choice of standard 
chemotherapy in a patient population of post menopausal women with HR+, HER2- locally 
advanced or MBC who have poor prognosis due to visceral metastasis.
Patients will be randomized using the following stratification factors: the presence of liver 
metastases (Yes/No), sensitivity to prior ET (sensitive versus primary resistance versus 
secondary resistance), and postmenopausal status (natural/surgical/therapeutic radiation versus 
gonadotropin-releasing hormone [GnRH] agonist use).
Sensitivity to prior ET is defined as follows, and will be determined based on the patients’ most 
recent sensitivity status.  For example, if a patient met the definition of primary resistance on 
adjuvant ET and subsequently met the definition of secondary resistance on ET for MBC, the 
patient would be categorized as having secondary resistance.  
1. Primary resistance: a relapse while on the first 2 years of adjuvant ET, or progressive 
disease (PD) within first 6 months of first-line ET for MBC, while on ET
2. Secondary resistance: a relapse while on adjuvant ET but after the first 2 years, or a 
relapse within 12 months of completing adjuvant ET, or PD ≥6 months after initiating ET 
for MBC, while on ET
3. Sensitive: patients who do not meet the definition of primary resistance or secondary 
resistance will be considered to be sensitive
Patients who meet all criteria for enrollment will be randomly assigned 1:1 to:
1. Arm A: abemaciclib in combination with fulvestrant, or 
2. Arm B: physician choice of standard chemotherapy (capecitabine, docetaxel, nab-
paclitaxel, or paclitaxel). 
Cross over between study treatments is not allowed in this study.  Additionally, post-
discontinuation therapy is neither specified nor restricted. 
Taken together, these data will be used to characterize the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 
abemaciclib in combination with fulvestrant compared to chemotherapy.  Section 1.2 illustrates 
the study schema.
4.2.
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
Study JPCU is a study in women participants with HR+ HER2- MBC with visceral metastasis, a 
poor prognostic feature which prompts some cancer specialists to initiate cytotoxic 
chemotherapy earlier than recommended by consensus treatment guidelines (Cardoso et al. 2016; 
Rugo et al. 2017; NCCN 2018). Visceral metastases and prior ET may typically steer a 
physician towards considering chemotherapy as a therapeutic choice. Eligible JPCU patients 
with visceral metastasis must have received at least 1 line of prior ET. Endocrine therapy may

24
have occured in either (or both) the (neo)adjuvant or metastatic setting; however, it must be 
limited to no more than 1 ET in the metastatic setting.  
JPCU patients must be appropriate candidates for randomization to either abemaciclib-
fulvestrant treatment or physician’s choice of allowed chemotherapy agents (capecitabine, 
docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel or paclitaxel).  
Patients will be randomized by a number of stratification factors thought to be associated with 
clinical outcomes to further reduce the potential for bias and improve the power of the analyses:  
namely sensitivity to prior ET, liver metastases, and postmenopausal status. Our internal data 
indicate that postmenopausal status is an important prognostic factor:  in Study I3Y-MC-JPBL, 
the patients receiving GnRH agonist had a median PFS of 28.6 months versus 15.5 months for 
those patients who were naturally postmenopausal. As this study is assessing different methods 
of study intervention administrations, a Phase 4 open-label study is appropriate.  The primary
purpose of the study is to demonstrate that abemaciclib in combination with fulvestrant provides 
at least the same clinical benefit as chemotherapy to the patients, as defined by “comparability,”
and abemaciclib in combination with fulvestrant has a preferred safety profile over 
chemotherapy.  An interim analysis of futility for ORR is planned.
4.3.
Justification for Dose
Abemaciclib is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicine Agency (EMA)-
approved for use in combination with fulvestrant for the treatment of women with HR+, HER2-
MBC with disease progression following ET.  Justification for dose may be found in the IB and 
PI.
Justification for chemotherapy dosing is per package insert guidelines in association with 
physician’s routine clinical practice for each agent.
4.4.
End of Study Definition
The end of study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last patient in the study or last 
scheduled procedure shown in the SoA (Section 1.3) for the last patient in the trial globally.
Study completion will occur following the final analysis of primary and secondary objectives, as 
determined by Lilly.

Study Population
Prospective approval of protocol deviations to recruitment and enrollment criteria, also known as 
protocol waivers or exemptions, are not permitted.
5.1.
Inclusion Criteria
Patients are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:
1. Must be able to provide informed consent, as described in Appendix 1 which 
includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed 
consent form (ICF) and in this protocol, according to local regulations and are at 
least 18 years of age.
2. Must be patients who, in the opinion of the treating physician, are candidates 
suitable for randomization to single agent chemotherapy or abemaciclib/fulvestrant 
combination therapy 
3. Must be female.
4. Must be of postmenopausal status due to natural cessation of ovarian function, 
surgery, therapeutic radiation or ovarian suppression with a GnRH agonist such as 
goserelin (initiated at least 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1).  Patients must meet at 
least 1 of the following criteria to document post-menopausal status:

prior bilateral oophorectomy

age ≥60 years, or

age <60 years, amenorrheic for at least 12 months (in the absence of chemotherapy, 
tamoxifen, toremifene, or ovarian suppression) and follicle-stimulating hormone 
(FSH) and estradiol levels in the postmenopausal range.
5. Must have a negative serum pregnancy test at baseline (within 14 days prior to 
randomization) and agree to use medically approved precautions to prevent pregnancy 
during the study and for 12 weeks following the last dose of abemaciclib if postmenopausal 
status is due to ovarian suppression with a GnRH agonist
6. Must have confirmed HR+, HER2- recurrent, locally advanced, unresectable, or MBC with 
evidence of relapse or disease progression on or following ET.

To fulfill the requirement for HR+ disease by local testing, a breast cancer must express, 
at least 1 of the hormone receptors (ER or progesterone receptor [PgR]).  For ER and 
PgR assays to be considered positive, ≥1% of tumor cell nuclei must be immunoreactive 
by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Hammond et al. 2010).

To fulfill the requirement of HER2- disease by local testing on most recent biopsy, 
HER2- negative tumor is determined as IHC score 0/1+ or negative by in situ 
hybridization (FISH/CISH/SISH), as defined in the relevant ASCO/College of American 
Pathologists guidelines (Wolff et al. 2013).
7. Must have disease progression following at least 1 line of ET.  ET may have been in the 
(neo)adjuvant or metastatic setting.

8. Must have metastatic disease with at least one site of visceral metastasis (e.g., pleura, lung, 
liver, peritoneum, omentum, ovary, or adrenal gland).  Metastases to bone only is not 
permitted in this study.
9. Must have at least 1 measurable lesion as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid 
Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (Eisenhauer et al. 2009).  If the patient has only 1 measurable

Exclusion Criteria 
Patients are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
15. Have received prior systemic therapy (e.g., cytoxic chemotherapy, targeted treatment such 
bevacizumab, immunotherapy) for metastatic disease except ET
16. Have received more than 1 prior ET for metastatic disease.
17. Have visceral crisis including, lymphangitic spread, or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, as 
determined by the treating physician.  “Visceral crisis” is defined by the presence of visceral 
disease associated with impending or actual severe organ dysfunction due to rapid disease 
progression as assessed by clinically significant symptoms, signs and/or laboratory studies
(Cardoso et al. 2018).
18. Have clinical evidence of symptomatic untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases 
that may impede participation in this study. Patients with active untreated CNS metastasis 
are eligible if the investigator/treating physician has determined that CNS specific treatment 
(e.g., radiation) is not warranted and is not required and is unlikely to be required due to 
clinical and radiologic stability for the last 28 days preceding study screening.  Screening 
for CNS metastases is not required for enrollment.

For the physician’s choice of the four chemotherapies, it is expected that the investigator review 
appropriate product label/institutional guidelines for confirmation dosing (i.e., need for pre-
medication, dose, schedule, toxicity management and dose modifications). 
6.2.
Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability
1. The investigator or designee must confirm appropriate temperature conditions have been 
maintained during transit for all study intervention received and any discrepancies are 
reported and resolved before use of the study intervention.
2. Only patients enrolled in the study may receive study intervention and only authorized 
site staff may supply or administer study intervention. All study intervention must be 
stored in a secure, environmentally controlled, and monitored (manual or automated) area 
in accordance with the labeled storage conditions with access limited to the investigator 
and authorized site staff.
3. The investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) is 
responsible for study intervention accountability, reconciliation, and record maintenance 
(i.e., receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records).
4. Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study interventions 
are provided in the Pharmacy Manual.
Investigators should consult the study drug information provided in the Pharmacy Manual and on 
the Product Label for the specific administration information (including warnings, precautions, 
contraindications, adverse reactions, and dose modifications).
6.3.
Measures to Minimize Bias:  Randomization and Blinding
This is an open-label study. Patients will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms, stratified by 
endocrine sensitivity status, presence of liver metastases and postmenopausal status. 
Stratification is intended to promote balance of known prognostic factors between treatment 
arms.


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)

Randomization can occur up to 7 days prior to C1D1. Before a patient is randomized, the 
chemotherapy choice that the patient would receive if she was randomized to Arm B will be 
recorded in the Interactive Web Response System.
6.4.
Study Intervention Compliance
Patient compliance with study intervention will be assessed at each visit. Compliance will be 
assessed by direct questioning, counting returned tablets/capsules, etc. Deviation from the 
prescribed dosage regimen should be recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF).
Some study intervention will be administered only at the investigational sites by the authorized 
study site personnel.  As a result, treatment compliance is ensured.
A patient will be considered noncompliant if he or she takes <75% of the planned doses for 
assigned study drug in a cycle.  A patient will also be considered noncompliant if he or she is 
judged by the investigator to have intentionally or repeatedly taken ≥125% of the planned doses 
of study drug in a cycle.
6.5.
Concomitant Therapy
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, vitamins, 
and/or herbal supplements) that the patient is receiving at the time of enrollment or receives 
during the study must be recorded along with:

Reason for use

Dates of administration including start and end dates
All treatments that the investigator considers necessary for a patient’s welfare may be 
administered at the discretion of the investigator in keeping with the community standards of 
medical care.
Abemaciclib is extensively metabolized through oxidation by CYP3A.  In clinical drug 
interaction studies, coadministration of clarithromycin, a strong CYP3A inhibitor, increased 
exposure (AUC) to abemaciclib by 3.4-fold (Study I3Y-MC-JPBE) and coadministration of 
rifampin, a strong CYP3A inducer, decreased exposure to abemaciclib by 95% (Study I3Y-MC-
JPBF).  Therefore, grapefruit or grapefruit juice as well as inducers and inhibitors of CYP3A 
should be substituted or avoided if possible (Appendix 7). 
Abemaciclib can be coadministered with drugs which are substrates of CYP enzymes.
If coadministration with a strong CYP3A inhibitor is unavoidable, investigators should consult 
the study drug information provided on the Product Label for dose adjustment recommendations.
Specifically for coadministration with the strong CYP3A inhibitor ketoconazole, the abemaciclib 
dose should be reduced to 50 mg twice daily.
Abemaciclib and its major active metabolites inhibit the renal transporters organic cation 
transporter 2, multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1), and MATE2-K.  In vivo 
interactions of abemaciclib with clinically relevant substrates of these transporters, such as 
creatinine, may occur.


CONFIDENTIAL

Based on the in vitro inhibition of P-glycoprotein and breast cancer resistance protein observed 
with abemaciclib, in vivo interactions of abemaciclib with narrow therapeutic index substrates of 
these transporters, such as digoxin, may occur.
In clinical studies in patients with breast cancer, no clinically relevant pharmacokinetic drug
interactions were observed between abemaciclib and anastrozole, exemestane, fulvestrant,
letrozole, or tamoxifen.
The Lilly CRP should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or prior 
therapy.  No other chemotherapy, immunotherapy, herbal supplements and/or herbal drugs 
intended to treat cancer, or experimental drugs will be permitted while the patients are on this 
study.
6.5.1.
Palliative Medicine and Supportive Care 
Palliative radiation therapy is permitted for irradiating small areas of painful metastases that 
cannot be managed adequately using systemic or local analgesics after discussion with and 
agreement of the Lilly CRP or designee.  Such areas must not be an identified target lesion and 
must not constitute progressive disease or meet RECIST criteria for progressive disease.  Any 
symptomatic deterioration or clinical disease progression requiring, in the opinion of the 
investigator, other forms of specific antitumor systemic therapy, will be cause for discontinuation 
of study therapy.
In addition, any disease progression requiring other forms of specific antitumor therapy will also 
necessitate early discontinuation from the study.  Appropriate documentation for all forms of 
premedications, supportive care, and concomitant medications must be captured on the case 
report form (CRF).  Replacement hormonal therapy (e.g., thyroid or adrenocorticoid 
supplementation) will be allowed.  Post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy (e.g., 
estrogen or progesterone agents) is not allowed.
Patients should receive full supportive care.  The use of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor is 
permitted at the discretion of the investigator based on ASCO (Smith et al. 2015) and European 
Society for Medical Oncology (Crawford et al. 2009) guidelines.  
If clinically indicated at any time during the study, erythropoietin and packed red blood cell 
transfusions may be used according to ASCO guidelines (Rizzo et al. 2008).  Prophylactic 
antibiotic treatment should be consistent with ASCO guidelines (Flowers et al. 2013).
Megestrol acetate use is not permitted for this study.
All concomitant medications should be recorded throughout the patient’s participation in the 
study.
6.5.2.
Supportive Management for Diarrhea in Patients Receiving Abemaciclib
Patients should receive instructions on the management of diarrhea.  In the event of diarrhea, 
supportive measures should be initiated as early as possible.  These include the following:


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219
33

At the first sign of loose stools, the patient should initiate anti-diarrheal therapy (e.g., 
loperamide) and notify the investigator for further instructions and appropriate follow-up.

Patients should also be encouraged to drink fluids (e.g., 8 to 10 glasses of clear liquids 
per day).

Site personnel should assess response within 24 hours.

If diarrhea does not resolve with anti-diarrheal therapy within 24 hours to at least Grade 1 
(per CTCAE v 5.0), study abemaciclib treatment should be suspended until diarrhea is 
resolved to at least Grade 1.

When abemaciclib treatment recommences, dosing should be adjusted as outlined in 
Section 6.6.1.  In severe cases of diarrhea, the measuring of neutrophil counts and body 
temperature and proactive management of diarrhea with antidiarrheal agents should be 
considered.
If diarrhea is severe (requiring intravenous rehydration) and/or associated with fever or severe
neutropenia, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones should be considered.
Patients with severe diarrhea or any diarrhea associated with severe nausea or vomiting should 
be carefully monitored and given intravenous fluid and electrolyte replacement as clinically 
indicated.
6.5.3.
Bisphosphonates and Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-Β Ligand 
(RANK-L) Targeted Agents
Patients with bone metastases present on baseline imaging should be appropriately treated with 
bisphosphonates or RANK-L targeted agents (for example, denosumab), per respective approved 
labels. Initiation of treatment with bone-modifying agents must begin at least 7 days prior to 
randomization.  Patients receiving bisphosphonates or RANK-L targeted agents should not 
switch treatments (for example, replace a bisphosphonate with denosumab) while on study 
treatment. However, exceptional cases without evidence of PD may be considered in 
consultation with the CRP.  These exceptional cases will not incur a protocol deviation.

Both dose suspension (within a cycle) and cycle delay are permitted. Study treatment may be 
held up to 14 days within a cycle or at start of next cycle to permit sufficient time for recovery 
from the toxicity. Patients not recovering from toxicity within 14 days should be considered for 
discontinuation. In exceptional circumstances, a delay >14 days is permitted upon agreement 
between the investigator and the Lilly CRP.
A delay of a cycle due to holiday, weekend, bad weather, or other unforeseen circumstances will 
be permitted for a maximum of 7 days and not counted as a protocol deviation. In exceptional 
circumstances, a delay >7 days is permitted upon agreement between the investigator and the 
Lilly CRP.

Treatment after Study Completion 
Study completion will occur following the final analysis of primary and secondary objectives, as 
determined by Lilly.  Investigators will continue to follow the SoA (Section 1.3) for all patients 
until notified by Lilly that study completion has occurred.
6.7.1.1.
Continued Access
Patients who are still on study intervention (i.e., study treatment) at the time of study completion 
may continue to receive study intervention if they are experiencing clinical benefit and no undue 
risks. The continued access period will apply to this study only if at least 1 patient is still 
receiving study intervention when study completion occurs.  Lilly will notify investigators when 
the continued access period begins.  Lilly may allow patients to enroll in a “rollover” protocol to 
provide long-term continued access for patients enrolled in this study.
Patients are not required to sign a new ICF before treatment is provided during the continued 
access period; the initial ICF for this study includes continued access under this protocol.
The continued-access period will begin after study completion and ends at End of Study.  The 
patient’s continued access to study intervention will end when a criterion for discontinuation is 
met (Section 7).  Continued-access follow-up will begin when the patient and the investigator 
agree to discontinue study intervention and lasts approximately 30 days.  Follow-up procedures 
will be performed as shown in the SoA (Section 1.3).
Patients who are in short-term follow-up when the continued access period begins will continue 
in short-term follow-up until the short-term follow-up visit is completed. Long-term follow-up 
does not apply.
Patients who are in long-term follow-up when the continued access period begins will be 
discontinued from long-term follow-up.

Study Assessments and Procedures

Unless otherwise stated in the subsections below, all samples collected for specified 
laboratory tests will be destroyed within 60 days of receipt of confirmed test results.
Certain samples may be retained for a longer period, if necessary, to comply with 
applicable laws, regulations, or laboratory certification standards.

Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA (Section 1.3).  Protocol
waivers or exemptions are not allowed.

Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the patient should continue or discontinue study 
intervention.

Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA
(Section 1.3), is essential and required for study conduct.

All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
patients meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log to 
record details of all patients screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for 
screening failure, as applicable.

Procedures conducted as part of the patient’s routine clinical management (e.g., blood 
count) and obtained before signing of the ICF may be utilized for screening or baseline 
purposes provided the procedures met the protocol-specified criteria and were 
performed within the time frame defined in the SoA (Section 1.3).

Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues 
with the samples.
8.1.
Efficacy Assessments
Tumor assessments will be performed for each patient as shown in the SoA (Section 1.3).  
RECIST v1.1 (Eisenhauer et al. 2009) will be applied as the primary criteria for assessment of 
tumor response and date of tumor progression.  Tumor assessment will be performed until 
documented PD as per the RECIST v1.1 criteria, initiation of new anticancer therapy, 
discontinuation of patient from overall study participation (eg, death, patient's request, lost to 
follow-up), or completion of the study, whichever occurs first.
The following general guidelines will apply:

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan alone or as part of a PET-computer 
tomography (CT) scan may be performed separately as part of routine clinical care but 
cannot be used for tumor assessment.

It’s recommended that the CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis be performed with IV 
contrast, whenever possible. For patients with known hypersensitivity to CT contrast 
material, a CT scan of the chest without contrast and gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the 
abdomen and pelvis are encouraged.


The CT portion of a PET-CT scan may be used as a method of response assessment if the 
site can document that the CT is of similar diagnostic quality to a diagnostic CT (i.e., 
with intravenous and oral contrast).

The same measuring modality must be used consistently throughout study for tumor 
assessment. 

Measurements should be performed on schedule even in the event of study treatment 
delay or omission.

Imaging delays due to patient deterioration will not be considered a protocol deviation.

Patients who discontinue study treatment without document progressive disease should 
continue to undergo clinical/radiologic tumor assessment until progressive disease is 
documented per RECIST 1.1 criteria, death, or study completion, whichever occurs first.
Bone scintigraphy and tumor assessment in patients with bone metastases 

Please refer to the SoA (Section 1.3) for assessment timelines.

Bone scintigraphy will be performed in all patients. Prior bone scintigraphy, obtained 
within 45 days of C1D1 as part of routine clinical care, may serve as the baseline bone 
scintigraphy.

Bone scintigraphy should be repeated to confirm complete response (CR) or performed as 
clinically indicated (e.g. new or worsening bone pain, or increasing alkaline phosphatase 
level, or other signs and symptoms of new/progressing bone metastases).

Bone scintigraphy should be repeated every 24 weeks after a CR is confirmed.

For patients with new lesions identified by post-baseline bone scintigraphy , targeted 
assessments by X-ray, CT scan with bone windows, or MRI will be performed to confirm 
findings.
Bone lesions identified at baseline will follow the same assessment schedule as for 
measurable lesions.
8.2.
Safety Assessments
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA (Section 1.3).  For each 
patient, vital signs, laboratory tests, and other tests should be collected as shown in the SoA 
(Section 1.3).
Results from any clinical laboratory test analyzed by a central laboratory (refer to Appendix 2) 
will be provided to investigative sites by Lilly or its designee.

disease, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the 
patient's condition.

All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study or until the completion of V801 should be repeated until the 
values return to normal or baseline or are no longer considered clinically significant by 
the investigator or medical monitor.
o
If such values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of time judged 
reasonable by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and the sponsor 
notified.
o
All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Appendix 2, must be 
conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA.
o
If there is an abnormal laboratory value or abnormal value for any other diagnostic or 
screening test (for example, blood pressure increased, neutrophils decreased, etc.) and 
it is known to be related to a disease diagnosis (for example, hypertension, 
neutropenia, etc.), this should be entered into the CRF.  Do not enter the test 
abnormality, enter the disease diagnosis or categorical term. 
o
If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory assessments require a 
change in patient management (e.g., dose modification) or are considered clinically 
significant by the investigator (e.g., AE or SAE), then the event(s) results must be 
recorded in the CRF.
8.2.1.1.
Hepatic Safety Monitoring
Liver testing (Section 10.4), including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate 
aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBL), direct bilirubin (D. 
Bil), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and creatine kinase (CK), should be repeated within 2 
to 4 days to confirm the abnormality and to determine if it is increasing or decreasing, if 1 or 
more of these conditions occur:
If a participant with baseline results 
of ... 
develops the following elevations:
ALT or AST <1.5x ULN
ALT or AST ≥5x ULN or
ALT or AST ≥3x ULN concurrent with TBL ≥2x ULN
ALT or AST ≥1.5x ULN
ALT or AST ≥3x baseline or
ALT or AST ≥2x baseline concurrent with TBL ≥2x ULN


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219
43
If the abnormality persists or worsens, clinical and laboratory monitoring and evaluation for 
possible causes of abnormal liver tests should be initiated by the investigator in consultation with 
the Lilly-designated medical monitor.  At a minimum, this evaluation should include physical 
examination and a thorough medical history, including symptoms, recent illnesses (for example, 
heart failure, systemic infection, hypotension, or seizures), and history of concomitant 
medications (including over-the-counter, herbal and dietary supplements, history of alcohol 
drinking and other substance abuse).  In addition, the evaluation should include a blood test for 
prothrombin time (international normalization ratio); serological tests for viral hepatitis A, B, C, 
E, and autoimmune hepatitis; and an abdominal imaging study (for example, ultrasound or CT 
scan). 
Based on the patient’s history and initial evaluation results, further testing should be considered, 
in consultation with the Lilly-designated medical monitor, including tests for hepatitis D virus 
(HDV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), acetaminophen levels, 
acetaminophen protein adducts, urine toxicology screen, Wilson’s disease, blood alcohol levels, 
urinary ethyl glucuronide, and serum phosphatidylethanol.  Based on the circumstances and the 
investigator’s assessment of the participant’s clinical condition, the investigator should consider 
referring the participant for a hepatologist or gastroenterologist consultation, magnetic resonance 
cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), 
cardiac echocardiogram, and/or liver biopsy.  
Additional Hepatic Safety Data Collection
Additional safety data should be collected via the CRF if 1 or more of the following conditions 
occur: 
In participants enrolled with baseline ALT or AST <1.5x ULN

Elevation of serum ALT or AST to ≥5x ULN on 2 or more consecutive blood tests

The combination of elevated ALT or AST ≥3x ULN and elevated TBL ≥2x ULN
In participants enrolled with baseline ALT or AST ≥1.5x ULN

Elevated ALT or AST ≥3x baseline on 2 or more consecutive tests

The combination of elevated ALT or AST ≥2x baseline and elevated TBL ≥2x ULN
In all study participants 

Discontinuation from study treatment due to a hepatic event or abnormality of liver tests

Occurrence of a hepatic event considered to be an SAE
8.2.1.2.
Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTEs)
In the randomized Phase 3 studies in breast cancer participants (Studies JPBL and JPBM, 
abemaciclib in combination with ET), there was a greater number of participants who 
experienced VTEs in the abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy arm than in the placebo plus 
endocrine therapy arm.  The majority of the events were non-serious and were treated with 
low-molecular-weight heparin.  Generally, these events did not result in discontinuation of the 
study treatment.  In Study JPCG, a greater number of participants experienced VTE events in the 


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219
44
abemaciclib plus tamoxifen arm compared with the abemaciclib monotherapy arms.  No events 
of VTE resulted in death or discontinuation of the study treatment and most patients were treated 
with low-molecular-weight heparin.  In studies with single-agent abemaciclib use in the MBC 
population or other tumor types, including non-small cell lung cancer, no increased rates of 
VTEs were observed as compared to the incidence of VTEs for these particular patient 
populations who were treated with other anticancer agents.  At this time, the mechanism 
underlying the association between abemaciclib and the occurrence of VTEs is not known.  
VTEs have been reported with other CDK4 and 6 inhibitors and endocrine therapy is known to 
be associated with the occurrence of VTEs.  Participants should be monitored for signs 
and symptoms of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and treated as medically 
appropriate.
8.2.1.3.
Serum Creatinine Increased
Abemaciclib has been shown to increase serum creatinine due to inhibition of renal tubular 
secretion of creatinine without affecting glomerular filtration rate (as measured by ioxhexol 
clearance).  In clinical studies, increases in serum creatinine occurred within the first month of 
abemaciclib dosing (remained elevated but stable through the treatment period) were reversible 
upon treatment discontinuation, and were not accompanied by changes in markers of renal 
function, such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN), cystatin C, or calculated glomerular filtration rate
based on cystatin C.  
Dose adjustment (omission, reduction, or discontinuation) should not be based solely on 
interpretation of serum creatinine values because these may not reflect renal function.  If 
deterioration of renal function is suspected per the investigator’s clinical assessment, a cystatin C 
measurement may be performed to confirm renal status. Dose alteration should follow the 
protocol guidance for non-hematological toxicities.
8.2.1.4.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis
Interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis has been identified as an adverse drug reaction for 
abemaciclib. Additional information is available in the IB.
Ask your participants to report any new or worsening pulmonary symptoms such as dyspnea, 
cough, and fever, and investigate and treat as per your local clinical practice (including 
corticosteroids as appropriate). If ILD/pneumonitis is suspected, investigations may include 
imaging, such as high resolution CT, broncheoalveolar lavage, and biopsy as clinically indicated.
Refer to Section 6.6.1 for guidance on dose adjustments of abemaciclib for patients with 
ILD/pneumonitis (see Appendix 6 for ILD/pneumonitis Common Terminology Criteria for 
Adverse Events [CTCAE] grades). Discontinue abemaciclib in cases of severe 
ILD/pneumonitis.
8.3.
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
The investigator should provide AE verbatim terms and then the terms will be mapped by Lilly 
or its designee to corresponding terminology within the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219
45
Activities (MedDRA) Lower Level term (LLT) dictionary. The investigator will use CTCAE v 
5.0 to assign AE severity grades.
Investigators are responsible for monitoring the safety of patients who have entered this study 
and for alerting Lilly or its designee to any event that seems unusual, even if this event may be 
considered an unanticipated benefit to the patient.
The investigator is responsible for the appropriate medical care of patients during the study.
Investigators must document their review of each laboratory safety report.
The investigator remains responsible for following, through an appropriate health care option, 
AEs that are serious or otherwise medically important, considered related to the investigational 
product or the study, or that caused the patient to discontinue the investigational product before 
completing the study.  The patient should be followed until the event resolves, stabilizes with 
appropriate diagnostic evaluation, or is otherwise explained.  The frequency of follow-up 
evaluations of the AE is left to the discretion of the investigator.
Lack of drug effect is not an AE in clinical trials, because the purpose of the clinical trial is to 
establish drug effect.
After the ICF is signed, study site personnel will record via CRF the occurrence and nature of 
each patient’s preexisting conditions, including clinically significant signs and symptoms of the 
disease under treatment in the study.  In addition, site personnel will record any change in the 
condition(s) and any new conditions as AEs. Investigators should record their assessment of the 
potential relatedness of each AE to protocol procedure, investigational product, via CRF.
The investigator will interpret and document whether or not an AE has a reasonable possibility 
of being related to study treatment, study device, or a study procedure, taking into account the 
disease, concomitant treatment or pathologies.
A “reasonable possibility” means that there is a cause and effect relationship between the 
investigational product, study device and/or study procedure and the AE.
The investigator answers yes/no when making this assessment.
Planned surgeries and nonsurgical interventions should not be reported as AEs unless the 
underlying medical condition has worsened during the course of the study.
If a patient’s investigational product is discontinued as a result of an AE, study site personnel 
must report this to Lilly or its designee via CRF, clarifying if possible, the circumstances leading 
to any dosage modifications, or discontinuations of treatment.
Serious Adverse Events
An SAE is any AE from this study that results in one of the following outcomes:

death

initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219
46

a life-threatening experience (that is, immediate risk of dying)

persistent or significant disability/incapacity

congenital anomaly/birth defect

important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention 
to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above.  Examples of 
such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not 
result in inpatient hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug 
abuse.
All AEs occurring after signing the ICF are recorded in the CRF and assessed for serious criteria.  
The SAE reporting to the sponsor begins after the patient has signed the ICF and has received 
investigational product.  However, if an SAE occurs after signing the ICF, but prior to receiving 
investigational product, the SAE should be reported to the sponsor as per SAE reporting 
requirements and timelines (see Section 8.3.1) if it is considered reasonably possibly related to 
study procedure.
Study site personnel must alert Lilly or its designee of any SAE within 24 hours of investigator 
awareness of the event via a sponsor-approved method.  If alerts are issued via telephone, they 
are to be immediately followed with official notification on study-specific SAE forms.  This 24-
hour notification requirement refers to the initial SAE information and all follow-up SAE 
information. Patients with a serious hepatic AE should have additional data collected using the 
CRF..
Pregnancy (during maternal or paternal exposure to investigational product) does not meet the 
definition of an AE.  However, to fulfill regulatory requirements any pregnancy should be 
reported following the SAE process to collect data on the outcome for both mother and fetus.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AEs or SAEs in subjects once they have 
discontinued and/or completed the study (the patient disposition CRF has been completed).  
However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after a subject has 
been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event reasonably possibly related to the 
study treatment or study participation, the investigator must promptly notify Lilly.
Serious adverse events, including death, caused by disease progression should not be reported 
unless the investigator deems them to be possibly related to study treatment.
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions
Suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) are serious events that are not listed 
in the Development Core Safety Information in the IB and that the investigator identifies as 
related to the study drug or study procedure.  United States 21 CFR 312.32 and European Union 
Clinical Trial Directive 2001/20/EC and the associated detailed guidances or national regulatory 
requirements in participating countries require the reporting of SUSARs. Lilly has procedures 


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219
47
that will be followed for the recording and expedited reporting of SUSARs that are consistent 
with global regulations and associated detailed guidances.
8.3.1.
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information
Although all AEs, after signing the ICF, are recorded by the site in the CRF/electronic data entry, 
SAE reporting to Lilly begins after the patient has signed the ICF and has received study drug. 
However, if a SAE occurs after signing the ICF, but prior to receiving study drug, it needs to be 
reported ONLY if it is considered reasonably possibly related to study procedures.
Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study intervention but after obtaining informed 
consent will be recorded on the AE section of the CRF.
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee immediately and under no 
circumstance should this exceed 24 hours of investigator awareness. The investigator will 
submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours of it being available. SAEs, 
including death, caused by disease progression should not be reported unless the investigator 
deems them to be possibly related to study treatment.
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs.  Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the patient is the preferred method to inquire about AE
occurrences.
8.3.2.
Follow-Up of AEs and SAEs
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each patient at 
subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs will be followed until resolution, stabilization, the event is 
otherwise explained, or the patient is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 1.3). 
8.3.3.
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs

Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of a SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of patients and the safety of a 
study intervention under clinical investigation are met.

The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and investigators.

Investigator safety reports must be prepared for SUSARs according to local regulatory 
requirements and sponsor policy and forwarded to investigators as necessary.

An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing a SAE or other 
specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will 
review and then file it along with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements.

Complaint Handling
Lilly collects product complaints on investigational products and drug delivery systems used in 
clinical studies in order to ensure the safety of study patients, monitor quality, and to facilitate 
process and product improvements.Patients will be instructed to contact the investigator as soon 
as possible if he or she has a complaint or problem with the investigational product so that the 
situation can be assessed.

Genetics
A whole blood sample will be collected for pharmacogenetic analysis as specified in the SoA
(Section 1.3) where local regulations allow.  
Samples will not be used to conduct unspecified disease or population genetic research either 
now or in the future.  Samples will be used to investigate variable response to study treatment 
and to investigate genetic variants thought to play a role in breast cancer.  Assessment of variable 
response may include evaluation of AEs or differences in efficacy.  
All samples will be coded with the patient number.  These samples and any data generated can 
be linked back to the patient only by the investigator site personnel.  
Samples will be retained at a facility selected by Lilly or its designee for a maximum of 15 years 
after the last participant visit for the study, or for a shorter period if local regulations and/or 
ERBs/IRBs impose shorter time limits.  This retention period enables use of new technologies, 
response to regulatory questions, and investigation of variable response that may not be observed 
until later in the development of study treatment.
Molecular technologies are expected to improve during the 15-year storage period and therefore 
cannot be specifically named.  However, existing approaches include whole genome and exome 


CONFIDENTIAL

sequencing, genomewide association studies and candidate gene studies.  Regardless of 
technology utilized, data generated will be used only for the specific research scope described in 
this section.
8.8.
Biomarkers
Biomarker research is performed to address questions of relevance to drug disposition, target 
engagement, pharmacodynamics, mechanism of action, variability of participant response 
(including safety), and clinical outcome.  Sample collection is incorporated into clinical studies 
to enable examination of these questions through measurement of biomolecules including 
deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, proteins, lipids, and other cellular elements.
This study will analyze biomarkers relevant to abemaciclib, mechanism of action of study 
treatment, the variable response to study drug(s), immune function, tumor microenvironment, 
and pathways associated with cancer.  These samples may also be used to develop related 
research methods or to validate diagnostic tools or assays.
Plasma sample for biomarker research will be collected at the times specified in the Schedule of 
Activities (Section 1.3) where local regulations allow.  A maximum of 3 samples may be 
collected at additional time points during the study if warranted and agreed upon by the 
investigator and Lilly.
It is possible that biomarker data for patients in the study has already been generated from 
samples that were collected and analyzed prior to enrolling in this study.  This may include data 
generated from genetic analyses.  If available, these data may be requested from medical records 
for use in the research described in Section 8.8.
All samples will be coded with the participant number.  These samples and any data generated 
can be linked back to the participant only by the investigator site personnel.  
Samples will be retained at a facility selected by Lilly or its designee for a maximum 15 years 
after the last participant visit for the study, or for a shorter period if local regulations and ERBs 
impose shorter time limits.  This retention period enables use of new technologies, response to 
regulatory questions, and investigation of variable response that may not be observed until later 
in the development of study treatment.
Technologies are expected to improve during the 15-year storage period and therefore cannot be 
specifically named.  Existing approaches, including mutation profiling, copy number variability 
analysis, gene expression assays and protein measurements may be performed on these samples 
to assess potential associations between these biomarkers and clinical outcomes.
8.9.
Medical Resource Utilization and Health Economics
The self-reported questionnaires will be administered according to the SoA (Section 1.3) in 
countries where the questionnaires have been translated into the native language of the region 
and linguistically validated.  Patient-reported questionnaires should be completed by patients 
when a language translation is available in which the patient is fluent or literate.

Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO)
The following PROs will be measured using an electronic device:

Worst-pain numeric pain rating scale (NRS)

Bowel movement (BM) frequency

Bristol Stool Form Scale

Loperamide doses

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Side Effects (FACT-GP5)

Patient reported outcome-Common Terminology Criteria in Adverse Events (PRO-
CTCAE)

European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life 
questionnaire (abridged) (EORTC IL36)  
Worst-pain NRS is a single item that asks about worst pain in the past 24 hours.
Use of pain medication will be assessed in conjunction with the worst-pain assessment.  Data on 
each individual prescription and over-the-counter analgesic medication will be recorded on the 
Concomitant Medications eCRF.  The use of pain medications should be reviewed with the 
patient at each subsequent visit.  Any changes to analgesic use (new or stopped analgesics) will 
be recorded on the eCRF.  Pain medication will be classified into medication categories, using 
the World Health Organization analgesic ladder.  A medication category will be assigned based 
on the maximum analgesic therapy administered for that cycle on a routine basis.
BM frequency is a single item that asks about bowel movement frequency.
Bristol Stool Form Scale is a single item that asks about stool form (Lewis et al. 1997).
Loperamide doses is a single item that asks about number of loperamide doses.
The FACT GP5 is a single item from the FACT-G questionnaire that asks about how bothered 
the patient is about the side effects of treatment (Cella et al. 1993).
PRO-CTCAE is a patient-reported outcome measurement system developed by the National 
Cancer Institute to collect symptomatic AEs from cancer patients enrolled in clinical trials (Bash 
et al. 2014; Dueck et al. 2015).  The PRO CTCAE item library includes 78 symptomatic AE and 
a total of 124 total items-  some AEs include multiple items (e.g. frequency and/or severity 
and/or interference [NCI 2018]).  From this item library, 15 AEs (29 total items) were selected 
based on the most frequent patient-felt AEs reported in MONARCH 2 and the chemotherapy 
comparator FDA labels. 
The EORTC IL36 is an abridged 17-item version of the 30-item EORTC QLQ-C30 (Aaronson 
et al. 1993).  This version omits the 13 Symptom items and consists solely of the Global Health 
and Functional scales:
o
global health status/quality of life (2 items)
o
functional scales (15 total items addressing either physical, role, emotional, cognitive, or 
social functioning)


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219
51
The full EORTC QLQ-C30 is broadly used in cancer trials, validated, and available in over 80 
different languages. 
For each PRO, the population will include all patients who completed at least 1 baseline 
followed by at least 1 postbaseline assessment.
8.9.2.
Healthcare Resource Utilization
Data, associated with medical encounters, will be collected per SoA (Section 1.3) in the CRF by 
the investigator and study-site personnel for all patients.  
Protocol-mandated procedures, tests, and encounters are excluded.
The data collected may be used to describe utilization between arms and will include:

Hospitalizations (reason and duration)

Emergency room visits (reason)

Analgesic use (and other relevant concomitant medication as needed)

Growth factor use

Transfusions:  use and type

Efficacy Analyses
Objective Response Rate is defined as the number of patients who achieve a best overall 
response of CR or partial response (PR) divided by the total number of patients randomized to 
the corresponding treatment arm (ITT population), based on investigator-assessed tumor 
responses.  Confirmations of CR and PR are not required.  Primary comparison between 
treatment arms will be based on the Bayesian decision rule as described in Section 9.2. The 80th
percentile of the posterior distribution for the difference in true ORR (true ORRArm B – true 
ORRArm A) will be calculated and compared to 10%. In addition, the median of the posterior 
distribution for ORR, with 95% equal-tailed credible interval, will be summarized for each 
treatment arm. 
Progression-free Survival is defined as the time from randomization until the first occurrence 
of documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1 criteria, or death from any cause in the 
absence of progressive disease.  Progression-free survival will be based on investigator-assessed
tumor responses; there will not be an independent central review of imaging data.  Patients 
known to be alive and without disease progression will be censored at the time of the last 
adequate tumor assessment (a detailed PFS event/censoring scheme is provided in the table 
below).  A (stratified) Bayesian Cox regression model will be used to estimate the PFS HR 
comparing Arm A and Arm B.  The 80th percentile of the posterior distribution of the HR 
comparing Arm A and Arm B will be calculated and compared to 1.2.  In addition, the posterior 
medians and associated 95% credible intervals for true median PFS by treatment arm will be 
provided. Sensitivity analyses for PFS will be described in the SAP.
Progression-free Survival 2:  Since exact progression date on post-therapies may not be 
available, in general, progression-free survival 2 (PFS2) is defined as the time from 
randomization to the discontinuation date of next-line (first line of post-discontinuation 
treatment), or starting date of the second line of post-discontinuation treatment or death from any 
cause, whichever is earlier.  If the patient is alive at the cutoff for analysis, and a PFS2 event has 
not been observed, PFS2 data will be censored on the last date the patient was known to be alive.  
A detailed definition of PFS2 will be described in the SAP.

Notes: 
(1) Symptomatic deteriorations (i.e. symptomatic progressions, which are not radiologically confirmed) will not be 
considered as progression
(2) Adequate radiological tumor assessment refers to an assessment with one of the following responses:  CR, PR, 
SD or PD
(3) For definition of 2 scan intervals, including any adjustment for scan window, see SAP
Time to Response
Time to Response (TTR) is defined as the time from randomization until the date that 
measurement criteria for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) are first met, per RECIST v1.1. 
Duration of Response
Duration of response is defined as the time from the date that measurement criteria for CR or PR 
(whichever is first recorded) are first met until the first date that disease is recurrent or 
documented disease progression is observed, per RECIST 1.1 criteria, or the date of death from 
any cause in the absence of documented disease progression or recurrence.

9.4.4.1.
Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO)
The number of missing and incomplete questionnaires/assessments will be summarized for each 
instrument by visit and treatment arm, overall by treatment arm, and overall for the trial (all 
visits, all treatment arms).
Patient-reported outcomes are measured through electronic versions of the following:

Worst-pain NRS

BM Frequency

Bristol Stool Form Scale

Loperamide doses

FACT-GP5

PRO CTCAE

EORTC IL36
For each patient with data from baseline and at least 1 other visit, the maximum change from 
baseline score will be calculated and summarized for  PRO CTCAE, EORTC functional and
quality of life (QoL) scores.  
EORTC IL36 instrument data will be scored as described by Aaronson et al. 1993.  If not already 
addressed in the EORTC scoring manual (Fayers et al. 2001), descriptive statistics for each 
EORTC IL36 will be calculated and evaluated between arms.
Further patient-reported analysis details will be described in the SAP.
9.4.4.2.
Medical Resource Utilization
Utilization data will be summarized descriptively by healthcare resources used (HCRU) category
(hospitalization days and reasons, emergency room visit reasons, growth factor use, analgesic 
use and transfusions), including a frequency table with tabular statistics.  For categorical 
variables, frequency and the corresponding percentage will be derived and measures of central 
tendency and variability will be calculated for continuous variables by arm. Tests for differences

in proportion between treatment groups and between response groups may be performed as 
warranted (Chi-square for categorical variables, t-test for continuous variables and non-
parametric tests for non-normally distributed data). 
Further utilization analysis details will be described in the SAP.
9.4.4.3.
Subgroup Analyses 
A prespecified list of subgroups will be identified in the SAP.  The treatment effect within each 
subgroup will be summarized.  Subgroup analyses will include choice of chemotherapy prior to 
randomization.  Other subgroup analyses not specified in the SAP may be performed as deemed 
appropriate.  These subgroups will be based on important characteristics, for example, prognostic 
significance.
9.4.4.4.
Patient Disposition
A detailed description of patient disposition will be provided, including a summary of the 
number and percentage of patients entered into the study, randomized in the study, and treated, 
or discontinuing (overall and by reason for discontinuation).  A summary of all important 
protocol deviations will be provided.
9.4.4.5.
Patient Characteristics
Demographic data are collected and reported to demonstrate that the study population represents 
the target patient population considered for regulatory approval.
A summary of baseline patient and disease characteristics, historical diagnoses, preexisting 
conditions, and prior therapies will be reported using descriptive statistics. 
9.4.4.6.
Concomitant Therapy 
A summary of prior and concomitant medications by treatment arm will be reported.
9.4.4.7.
Treatment Compliance 
Study treatment that is administered intravenously will be administered at the investigator site; 
therefore, treatment compliance is assured.
Study treatment compliance for other study treatments will be assessed as the proportion of 
treatment that is actually taken, relative to what is expected, after accounting for protocol-
defined dose adjustments.  Study treatment taken will be derived from the difference between the 
total number of pills dispensed and returned over the course of the patient’s treatment.
9.4.4.8.
Biomarker Analyses
Biomarker analyses will be based on the subset of all enrolled patients from whom a valid assay 
result (according to laboratory guideline) has been obtained.  Correlative analyses will be 
performed to investigate associations between biomarkers and clinical endpoints as deemed 
appropriate.

microenvironment, and pathways associated with cancer.
9.5.
Interim Analyses 
One interim analysis of futility for ORR will be conducted approximately 6 months after the 
100th patient has been randomized.  The futility rule is described as follows: 
Posterior P(true ORRArm B – true ORRArm A < 10%) < 20%
An assessment committee (AC) will be established to conduct interim analysis.  The AC will 
include, at a minimum, Lilly Oncology Medical Director and statistician; Lilly study CRP/CRS 
will be excluded from the AC.  Details on AC membership will be described in the Lilly Interim 
Analysis Authorization Form.  Although the decision at the interim analysis will be made 
primarily based on the futility rule, AC members will also review and consider the totality of 
interim data to determine whether there are sufficient evidence to justify the termination of study 
treatment and/or enrollment due to futility.

datasets that are transferred to the sponsor will contain the identifier only; patient names 
or any information which would make the patient identifiable will not be transferred.

The patient must be informed that his/her personal study-related data will be used by the 
sponsor in accordance with local data protection law. The level of disclosure must also 
be explained to the patient.

The patient must be informed that his/her medical records may be examined by Clinical 
Quality Assurance auditors or other authorized personnel appointed by the sponsor, by 
appropriate IRB/IEC members, and by inspectors from regulatory authorities.
10.1.4.
Dissemination of Clinical Study Data
Dissemination of study data will be performed according to all applicable Lilly and international 
policies.
10.1.5.
Data Quality Assurance
To ensure accurate, complete, and reliable data, the sponsor or its representatives will do the 
following:

provide instructional material to the study sites, as appropriate

provide sponsor start-up training to instruct the investigators and study 
coordinators.  This training will give instruction on the protocol, the completion 
of the CRFs, and study procedures.

make periodic visits to the study site

be available for consultation and stay in contact with the study site personnel by 
mail, telephone, and/or fax

review and verify data reported to detect potential errors 
In addition, the sponsor or its representatives will periodically check a sample of the patient data 
recorded against source documents at the study site.  The study may be audited by the sponsor or 
its representatives and/or regulatory agencies at any time.  Investigators will be given notice 
before an audit occurs.


CONFIDENTIAL
Protocol I3Y-MC-JPCU(b)
LY2835219

The investigator will keep records of all original source data.  This might include laboratory 
tests, medical records, and clinical notes.  If requested, the investigator will provide the sponsor, 
applicable regulatory agencies, and applicable ERBs with direct access to original source 
documents.
Data Capture System
The investigator is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, legibility, and timeliness 
of the data reported to the sponsor. 
An electronic data capture system (EDC) will be used in this study for the collection of CRF 
data.  The investigator maintains a separate source for the data entered by the investigator or 
designee into the sponsor-provided EDC system.  The investigator is responsible for the 
identification of any data to be considered source and for the confirmation that data reported are 
accurate and complete by signing the CRF.
Additionally, electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA) data (questionnaires, scales, self-
reported diary data, rating scales etc.) will be directly recorded by the subject, into an instrument 
(for example, hand held smart phone or tablet, or by means of an interactive voice/web system).  
The eCOA data will serve as the source documentation and the investigator does not maintain a 
separate, written or electronic record of these data.  
Data collected via the sponsor-provided data capture system will be stored at third-party. The 
investigator will have continuous access to the data during the study and until decommissioning 
of the data capture system.  Prior to decommissioning, the investigator will receive an archival 
copy of pertinent data for retention.
Data managed by a central vendor, such as laboratory test data, will be stored electronically in 
the central vendor’s database system and the results will be provided to the investigator for 
review and retention.  Data will subsequently be transferred from the central vendor to the Lilly 
data warehouse.
Data from complaint forms submitted to Lilly will be encoded and stored in the global product 
complaint management system.
10.1.6.
Source Documents

Source documents provide evidence for the existence of the patient and substantiate the 
integrity of the data collected. Source documents are filed at the investigator’s site.

Data reported on the CRF or entered in the eCRF that are transcribed from source 
documents must be consistent with the source documents or the discrepancies must be 
explained. The investigator may need to request previous medical records or transfer 
records, depending on the study. Also, current medical records must be available.

Appendix 2:  Clinical Laboratory Tests

Local laboratory results are only required in the event that the central laboratory results 
are not available in time for inclusion/exclusion determination, study intervention 
administration, and/or response evaluation.  If a local sample is required, it is important 
that the sample for central analysis is obtained at the same time.  If there is an abnormal 
laboratory value or abnormal value for any other diagnostic or screening test (e.g., 
blood pressure increased, neutrophils decreased, etc.) and it is known to be related to a 
diagnosis (e.g., hypertension, neutropenia, etc.) this should be entered into the CRF.  Do 
not enter the test abnormality, enter the diagnosis or categorical term.

Protocol-specific requirements for inclusion or exclusion of patients are detailed in 
Section 5 of the protocol.

Additional tests may be performed at any time during the study as determined necessary 
by the investigator or required by local regulations.
Investigators must document their review of each laboratory safety report.  Enrollment and 
treatment decisions may be based upon local laboratory results. Discrepancies between local and 
central laboratory results will not be considered a protocol deviation.

Information
No additional pregnancy information (other than that included in Section 1.3) will be collected in 
this study).
Please follow the contraceptive guidelines below. 
CONTRACEPTIVES
a ALLOWED DURING THE STUDY INCLUDE:
Highly Effective Methods
b That Have Low User Dependency 

Intrauterine device (IUD)

Bilateral tubal occlusion

Vasectomized partner

(Vasectomized partner is a highly effective contraceptive method provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of 
the woman of childbearing potential and the absence of sperm has been confirmed.  If not, an additional highly effective 
method of contraception should be used.  Spermatogenesis cycle is approximately 90 days.)
Highly Effective Methods
b That Are User Dependent 

Sexual abstinence
(Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during
the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention.  The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in 
relation to the duration of the study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.)
a) Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive 
methods for those participating in clinical studies.
b) Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly.  Typical use failure rates differ from those when used 
consistently and correctly.
Note:  Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides 
only, and lactational amenorrhoea method (LAM) are not acceptable methods of contraception for this study.  Male condom 
and female condom should not be used together (due to risk of failure with friction).

Study Design
5.1.
Summary of Study Design
Study JPCU is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled Phase 4 study of abemaciclib, a 
CDK 4 and 6 inhibitor, in combination with fulvestrant compared to physician choice of standard 
chemotherapy in a patient population of post menopausal women with HR+, HER2- locally 
advanced or MBC who have poor prognosis due to visceral metastasis.
Patients will be randomized using the following stratification factors:  the presence of liver 
metastases (Yes/No), sensitivity to prior ET (sensitive versus primary resistance versus 
secondary resistance), and postmenopausal status (natural/surgical/therapeutic radiation versus 
gonadotropin-releasing hormone [GnRH] agonist use). 
Sensitivity to prior ET is defined as follows, and will be determined based on the patients’ most 
recent sensitivity status.  For example, if a patient met the definition of primary resistance on 
adjuvant ET and subsequently met the definition of secondary resistance on ET for MBC, the 
patient would be categorized as having secondary resistance.  
1. Primary resistance:  a relapse while on the first 2 years of adjuvant ET, or progressive 
disease (PD) within first 6 months of first-line ET for MBC, while on ET 
2. Secondary resistance:  a relapse while on adjuvant ET but after the first 2 years, or a 
relapse within 12 months of completing adjuvant ET, or PD ≥6 months after initiating ET 
for MBC, while on ET
3. Sensitive:  patients who do not meet the definition of primary resistance or secondary 
resistance will be considered to be sensitive
Patients who meet all criteria for enrollment will be randomly assigned 1:1 to: 
1. Arm A:  abemaciclib in combination with fulvestrant, or 
2. Arm B:  physician choice of standard chemotherapy (capecitabine, docetaxel, nab-
paclitaxel, or paclitaxel). 
Cross over between study treatments is not allowed in this study.  Additionally, post-
discontinuation therapy is neither specified nor restricted. 
Taken together, these data will be used to characterize the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 
abemaciclib in combination with fulvestrant compared to chemotherapy.  The study design is 
illustrated below.

A Priori Statistical Methods
6.1.
General Considerations
6.1.1. Populations
Statistical analysis of this study will be the responsibility of Eli Lilly and Company or its 
designee.
Disposition summaries will be performed on the entered population, defined as all patients who 
sign the informed consent form.
Intention-to-Treat (ITT) population: will include all randomized patients.  The ITT analysis of 
efficacy data will consider allocation of patients to treatment groups as randomized and not by 
actual treatment received.  This analysis set will be used for all baseline and efficacy analyses.  
Safety population: will include all randomized patients who received any quantity of study 
treatment, regardless of their eligibility for the study.  The safety evaluation will be performed 
based on the first dose of study treatment a patient actually received, regardless of the arm to 
which he or she was randomized.  The safety analysis set will be used for all dosing/exposure, 
safety analyses, and health economics analyses.
6.1.2. Definitions and Conventions
Study drug refers to abemaciclib (LY2835219).
Study treatment refers to abemaciclib plus fulvestrant or single-agent chemotherapy of 
physician’s choice (capecitabine, docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or paclitaxel)
The date of randomization is the date the patient was randomly assigned to study treatment 
using the IWRS.
The date of first dose is the date of the first dose of study drug, fulvestrant, or single-agent 
chemotherapy.
The baseline value of a safety assessment is the last value observed prior to the first dose of 
study drug, fulvestrant, or single-agent chemotherapy.
The baseline value of an efficacy assessment is the last value observed prior to the date of 
randomization.  If a patient’s first assessment occurs after randomization but prior to the first 
dose, this assessment will be used as the baseline.
The study day of a safety event or assessment will be calculated as:

the difference between the date of the event or assessment and the date of first 
dose plus 1 for all events or assessments occurring on or after the day of first 
dose.  For example, if an event occurs on 08MAR2016 and the date of first 
dose was 06MAR2016, the study day of the event is 3.


I3Y-MC-JPCU Statistical Analysis Plan Version 1
Page 11
LY2835219

the difference between the date of the event or assessment and the date of first 
dose for all events or assessments occurring before the day of first dose.  For 
example, if an event occurs on 05MAR2016 and the date of first dose was 
06MAR2016, the study day of the event is -1.
The study day of an efficacy event or assessment will be calculated as:

the difference between the date of the event or assessment and the date of 
randomization plus 1 for all events or assessments occurring on or after the 
date of randomization.

the difference between the date of the event or assessment and the date of 
randomization for all events or assessments occurring before the date of 
randomization.
One month is defined as 365/12 days.
Unless otherwise noted, summaries of continuous variables will include a mean, median, 
standard deviation, minimum, and maximum.
Unless otherwise noted, summaries of categorical variables will include the frequency and 
percentage (relative to the population being analyzed) of each category.
Additional exploratory analyses of the data will be conducted as deemed appropriate.
6.2.
Adjustments for Covariates
The following baseline covariates will be the stratification factors for randomization: presence of 
liver metastases (Yes/No), sensitivity to prior ET (sensitive versus primary resistance versus 
secondary resistance), and postmenopausal status (natural/surgical/therapeutic radiation versus 
gonadotropin-releasing hormone [GnRH] agonist use).  These stratification factors are thought to 
be associated with clinical outcomes.  Balancing the 2 arms with respect to those factors will
further reduce the potential for bias and improve the power of the analyses. For example, our 
internal data indicate that postmenopausal status is an important prognostic factor: in Study I3Y-
MC-JPBL, the patients receiving GnRH agonist on abemaciclib arm (n=72) had a median PFS of 
28.6 months versus 15.5 months for those patients who were truly postmenopausal (n=371).
6.3.
Handling of Dropouts or Missing Data
With the exception of dates, missing data will not be imputed.  The method of imputation for any 
dates that are imputed is described in the relevant section.  Rules for determining date of 
progression or censor for PFS are defined in Table JPCU.6.1.
6.4.
Multiple Comparisons/Multiplicity
The primary endpoint is ORR comparability; PFS comparability is an important secondary 
endpoint, and will be statistically tested only if ORR comparability is declared, using a 
gatekeeping testing strategy.  The family-wise error rate, i.e. the probability of making one or 
more false positive claims due to multiple endpoint-related multiplicity, will be well controlled at 
no more than 20%, per simulations. 


I3Y-MC-JPCU Statistical Analysis Plan Version 1
Page 12
LY2835219
6.5.
Patient Disposition
A detailed description of patient disposition will be provided.  It will include a summary of the 
number and percentage of patients entered into the study, rescreened after screen failure, 
randomized in the study, and treated in the study, reasons for discontinuation from study 
treatment (safety population only), and reasons for discontinuation from study (ITT population 
only).  Reason for discontinuation from both study treatment and the study will be summarized 
by pre-determined categories.
6.6.
Patient Characteristics
6.6.1. Demographics and Performance Status
Patient demographics will be summarized.  Patient demographics will include age, race, 
ethnicity, height, weight, and body mass index.
6.6.2. Baseline Disease Characteristics
Disease characteristics will be summarized.  Disease characteristics will include the following:

Initial pathological diagnosis

Disease stage (Stage IIA, Stage IIB, etc.) at initial diagnosis and study entry

Histopathological diagnosis grade (G1, G2, etc.) at initial diagnosis and study entry

Baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 
(PS)

HER2 status (negative/postive)

Progesterone receptor status (negative/postive) 

Estrogen receptor status (negative/postive)

Site of disease (liver, lung, etc.) 
6.6.3. Historical Illnesses
Historical illnesses are clinically relevant events in the past that ended before the screening visit.  
Historical illnesses (using Preferred Term(s) [PTs] from the most current version of the Medical 
Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA®]) will be summarized.
6.6.4. Prior Therapies
Prior radiotherapy, surgery, and systemic therapy will be summarized.  Prior radiotherapy and 
surgery will be categorized by reason for regimen.  Prior systemic therapies will be categorized 
by type of regimen (endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, etc.) and reason for regimen (neoadjuvant, 
adjuvant, locally advanced, or metastatic).  Frequency of each specific therapy will be tabulated 
within each type of therapy and per reason for regimen.


I3Y-MC-JPCU Statistical Analysis Plan Version 1
Page 13
LY2835219
6.6.5. Post-Study Treatment Discontinuation Therapies
Therapies received following study treatment discontinuation will be summarized by arm.  
Therapies will be summarized overall and by category: endocrine therapy or 
targeted/chemotherapy.
6.7.
Treatment Compliance
Treatment compliance information for abemaciclib will be collected through pill counts at each 
cycle.  Compliance will be calculated as the ratio of total dose taken to the total assigned dose 
(minus any dose adjustments and doses omitted/withheld for medical or logistical reasons).  
Treatment compliance information for capecitabine will be collected through couting number of 
doses taken at each cycle.  Dosing information for fulvestrant, docetaxel, paclitaxel, and nab-
paclitaxel will be collected at each cycle/visit.
6.8.
Concomitant Therapy
All medications will be coded to the generic preferred name according to the current World 
Health Organization drug dictionary.  All concomitant medications will be summarized by 
number and percentage of patients for the safety population using the base name (without esters 
or salts).
6.9.
Efficacy Analyses
Unless otherwise noted, all efficacy analyses will be performed on the ITT population.
The stratification factors for the primary and secondary analyses are

Presence of liver metastases (Yes/No)

Sensitivity to prior ET (sensitive versus primary resistance versus secondary 
resistance)

Postmenopausal status (natural/surgical/therapeutic radiation versus GnRH agonist
use).
The stratification factors will be derived based on CRF data.  
Posterior medians and Bayesian credible intervals will be reported for ORR and PFS, for which 
Bayesian analyses have been specified.
All frequentist tests of treatment effects will be conducted at a 2-sided alpha level of 0.05, unless 
otherwise stated; and all confidence intervals (CIs) will be given at a 2 sided 95% level.
6.9.1. Primary Outcome and Methodology: Objective Response Rate
6.9.1.1.
Definition
The primary endpoint of the study is objective response rate (ORR), which is defined as the 
number of patients who achieve a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or

6.9.3. Other Secondary Efficacy Analyses
6.9.3.1.
Progression-free Survival 2
For patients who take maintenance endocrine therapy following study treatment, progression-
free survival 2 (PFS2) is defined as the time from randomization to the disease progression date 
on first-line treatment post discontinuation of maintenance endocrine therapy, discontinuation 
date of first-line treatment post discontinuation of maintenance endocrine therapy, or starting 
date of the second-line treaetment post discontinuation of maintenance endocrine therapy, or 
death from any cause, whichever is earlier.  For all other patients, PFS2 is defined as the time 
from randomization to the disease progression date on first-line treatment post discontinuation of 
study treatment, discontinuation date of first-line treatment post discontinuation of study 
treatment, or starting date of the second-line of post discontinuation of study treatment, or death 
from any cause, whichever is earlier.
If the patient is alive at the cutoff for analysis, and a PFS2 event has not been observed, PFS2 
data will be censored on the last date the patient was known to be alive.
A Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis of PFS2 will be performed to estimate the PFS2 curve for each 
arm. Point estimates, CIs for PFS2 quartiles, and PFS2 rates will be calculated every 3 months 
for the first 12 months.


I3Y-MC-JPCU Statistical Analysis Plan Version 1
Page 17
LY2835219
6.9.3.2.
Time to Response
Time to Response (TTR) is defined as the time from randomization until the date that 
measurement criteria for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) are first met, per RECIST v1.1, 
and will be calculated for patients with CR or PR only.
A KM analysis of TTR will be performed to estimate the TTR curve for each arm.  Point 
estimates and CIs for DoR quartiles will be calculated.
6.9.3.3.
Duration of Response
Duration of response is defined as the time from the date that measurement criteria for CR or PR 
(whichever is first recorded) are first met until the first date that disease is recurrent or 
documented disease progression is observed, per RECIST 1.1 criteria, or the date of death from 
any cause in the absence of documented disease progression or recurrence.  It will be calculated 
as date of progression or death – date of first response evaluation of CR or PR + 1 for patients 
with CR or PR only.  The DoR will be censored according to the same rules as PFS.
A KM analysis of DoR will be performed to estimate the DoR curve for each arm.  Point 
estimates, CIs for DoR quartiles, and DoR rates will be calculated every 3 months for the first 12 
months.
6.9.4. Sensitivity Analyses
Progression-Free Survival Sensitivity Analysis 1 (nonobjective progression as a PFS event): if 
a patient is discontinued from study treatment due to investigator-determined non-objective 
progression (for example, symptomatic deterioration), then the patient’s PFS time will be 
calculated using the date of non-objective progression as the progression date.
6.10. Health Outcomes/Quality-of-Life Analyses
The main analysis will be conducted in the safety population. 
For each instrument, the compliance rate by visit will be calculated as the number of patients 
with completed assessments at each visit divided by the number of patients in safety population 
at each visit.  Compliance rates and reasons for noncompliance for each instrument will be 
summarized by treatment arm.
6.10.1. Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO)
Patient-reported outcomes are measured through electronic versions of the following:

Worst-pain NRS

BM Frequency

Bristol Stool Form Scale

Loperamide doses

FACT-GP5

PRO CTCAE

EORTC IL36 


I3Y-MC-JPCU Statistical Analysis Plan Version 1
Page 18
LY2835219
Worst-pain NRS, BM Frequency, Bristol Stool Form Scale, and Loperamide doses are single-
item instruments and will be assessed daily.  For such instrument with daily data collection, 
weekly average will be calculated for each patient; all other instruments will be assessed weekly.  
For each instrument, weekly average or weekly data collection will be used as the data at each 
visit for data analyses.
For each patient with data from baseline and at least 1 other visit post-baseline, the change from 
baseline score by visit, by all post-baseline visits, and maximum change from baseline score will 
be calculated and summarized using descriptive statistics between arms for each instrument, 
except for PRO CTCAE.  Response to each item in PRO CTCAE will be treated as a categorical 
variable and will be summarized using descriptive statistics by visit between arms.
To describe and compare the Time to Deterioration (TTD) and also Time to Sustained 
Deterioration (TTSD) in the

“worst pain”  (2 point change)

FACT-GP5 (one category change)

PRO CTCAE (one category change)

EORTC IL36 (European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality 
of Life Questionnaire-Core30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) functional scales, and Global 
Health/Quality of Life (GHS) scale (10 point change)). 
Pain Intensity:
Pain as assessed with the single “worst pain” NRS item, and will be characterized with 
descriptive non-inferential statistics based on a weekly average.  Treatment arm comparisons 
will be conducted through use of mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) specified with an 
unstructured covariance matrix and estimated with restricted maximum likelihood (REML) to 
address the small sample negative bias in the variance component when using the maximum 
likelihood (ML) estimator (that is, the ML estimator usually has lower mean-squared error 
[MSE] than the REML estimator).
EORTC IL36:
EORTC IL36 instrument data will be scored as described by Aaronson et al. 1993.  If not already 
addressed in the EORTC scoring manual (Fayers et al. 2001), descriptive statistics for each 
EORTC IL36 (functional scale and the Global Health Status/QOL scale) will be calculated and 
evaluated between arms.
6.10.2. Medical Resource Utilization
Utilization data will be summarized descriptively by healthcare resources used (HCRU) category 
(hospitalization days and reasons, emergency room visit reasons, growth factor use, analgesic 
use and transfusions), including a frequency table with tabular statistics.  For categorical 
variables, frequency and the corresponding percentage will be derived and measures of central 
tendency and variability will be calculated for continuous variables by arm. Tests for differences 
in proportion between treatment groups and between response groups may be performed as 


I3Y-MC-JPCU Statistical Analysis Plan Version 1

LY2835219
warranted (Chi-square for categorical variables, t-test for continuous variables and non-
parametric tests for non-normally distributed data). 
Time to first opioid use by treatment arm, responder type, age, baseline PRO score may be 
explored.
6.11. Safety Analyses
6.11.1. Extent of Exposure
Drug exposure, dose intensity, and drug adjustment (dose omissions, increases, reductions, 
interruptions, and delays) for abemaciclib, fulvestrant, and single-agent chemotherapy of 
physician’s choice will be summarized for all treated patients per treatment arm.  Drug exposure 
will include summaries of cycles received per patient, duration on therapy, and cumulative dose.  
Dose intensity will be calculated as the actual cumulative amount of drug taken divided by the 
duration of treatment.  Relative dose intensity will be calculated as the actual amount of drug 
taken divided by the amount of drug prescribed times 100% (expressed as a percentage).  The 
summary of dose adjustments will include reasons for adjustments.
For abemaciclib, extent of exposure will be measured by pill counts.  Dose intensity will be 
expressed in mg/day.  The assigned cumulative dose while on study is 2 × 150 mg × number of 
days on treatment.
For fulvestrant, extent of exposure will be measured using the fulvestrant administration on the 
eCRF.  The assigned cumulative dose while on study is 500 mg × 2 + [500 mg × ceiling 
((number of days on treatment – 28)/28)].
For single-agent chemotherapy of physician’s choice, extent of exposure and assigned 
cumulative dose while on study will be measured based on data reported on the eCRF 
appropriate for the route of administration.
6.11.2. Adverse Events
Adverse event (AE) severity grades will be assigned by the investigator using Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0.  In addition, AE verbatim text 
will also be mapped by the sponsor or designee to corresponding terminology within MedDRA. 
Preexisting conditions are defined as AEs that either is ongoing at informed consent or end on or 
after informed consent.  
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an AE that first occur or worsen in 
CTCAE grade after the first dose of study treatment. The MedDRA LLT will be used in the 
treatment-emergent computation.
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE during this study that results in one of the following 
outcomes:

death

initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization 


I3Y-MC-JPCU Statistical Analysis Plan Version 1
Page 20
LY2835219

a life-threatening experience (that is, immediate risk of dying)

persistent or significant disability/incapacity

congenital anomaly/birth defect

considered significant by the investigator for any other reason
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered SAEs when, based on appropriate medical judgment, they 
may jeopardize the patient and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the 
outcomes listed in this definition.
The following summaries and listings will be produced:

Overview of adverse events

Summary of TEAEs by preferred term (PT) (any grade and Grade ≥ 3)

Summary of TEAEs by system organ class (SOC) and PT (any grade and Grade ≥ 3)

Summary of TEAEs by SOC and PT and maximum grade (1-5)

Summary of SAEs by SOC and PT (any grade and Grade ≥ 3)

Summary of AEs as reason for study treatment discontinuation by SOC and PT

Listing of SAEs
The TEAE and SAE summaries will be produced for all TEAEs/SAEs and repeated for 
TEAEs/SAEs related to study treatment, where relationship of the AE to the study treatment will 
be assessed by the investigator (yes or no).
6.11.3. Deaths and Other Serious Adverse Events
A summary of all deaths, including reasons for deaths, will be provided.  All deaths, deaths on 
study treatment, deaths within 30 days of discontinuation of study treatment, deaths on study 
treatment or within 30 days of discontinuation of study treatment, and deaths after 30 days of 
discontinuation of study treatment will be summarized by reason for death.  For deaths due to 
AE, the preferred term will be provided.  In addition to the tabular summary, a by-patient listing 
of all deaths on study not attributed to study disease by the investigator will be provided.
6.11.4. Clinical Laboratory Evaluation
All relevant hematology and chemistry laboratory values will be graded according to CTCAE.  
These calculated grades will be summarized by cycle and maximum postbaseline grade over the 
entire study for each treatment arm.  Treatment-emergent changes will be summarized by the 
maximum postbaseline grade, and a shift table of baseline grade by maximum postbaseline grade 
will be produced.
6.11.5. Vital Signs and Other Physical Findings
Temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, weight, and ECOG PS will be summarized by cycle.


I3Y-MC-JPCU Statistical Analysis Plan Version 1

LY2835219
6.12. Subgroup Analyses
Subgroup analyses of ORR and PFS will be performed for each of following potential prognostic 
subgroup variables:

presence of liver metastases (Yes/No)

sensitivity to prior ET (sensitive versus primary resistance versus secondary 
resistance)

postmenopausal status (natural/surgical/therapeutic radiation versus GnRH 
agonist use)

number of organs involved (1 versus 2 versus 3+)

age (<65 years versus ≥65 years)

progesterone receptor status (positive versus negative)

baseline ECOG PS (0 versus 1)
Subgroup analyses of ORR and PFS will also be performed for each of the physician choice of 
standard chemotherapy that patient are randomized to or would receive (capecitabine and taxane 
[docetaxel, nab-paclitaxel, paclitaxel]).  Before a patient is randomized, the chemotherapy choice 
that the patient would receive if she was randomized to Arm B will be recorded in the Interactive 
Web Response System (IWRS).  A chemotherapy subgroup will consist of patients who are 
randomized to Arm B to receive the chemotherapy and those who are randomized to Arm A and 
would receive the chemotherapy per IWRS.  
If a level of a factor consists of fewer than 10% of randomized patients, analysis within that level 
will be omitted.
Analyses will be done within subgroup and, separately, across subgroups with a test of 
interactions of subgroups with treatment performed.  Estimated HRs and CIs for the 
within-subgroup analyses will be presented as a Forest plot along with p-values for tests of 
interactions between subgroup variables and treatment.
Other subgroup analyses may be performed as deemed appropriate.  If any safety analyses 
identify important imbalances between arms, subgroup analyses of these endpoints may be 
performed.
6.13. Protocol Violations
Important protocol violations that potentially compromise the data integrity and patients’ safety 
will be summarized by treatment group for all randomized patients.  These violations will 
include deviations that can be identified programmatically and those which can only be 
identified by the clinical research associate during monitoring.  Important protocol deviations are 
described in another document within the study Trial Master File.

LY2835219
6.14. Interim Analyses and Data Monitoring
One interim analysis of futility for ORR will be conducted approximately 6 months after the 
100th patient has been randomized.  The futility rule is described as follows: 
Posterior P(true ORRArm B – true ORRArm A < 10%) < 20%
An assessment committee (AC) will be established to conduct interim analysis.  The AC will 
include, at a minimum, Lilly Oncology Medical Director and statistician; Lilly study CRP/CRS 
will be excluded from the AC.  Details on AC membership will be described in the Lilly Interim 
Analysis Authorization Form.  Although the decision at the interim analysis will be made 
primarily based on the futility rule, AC members will also review and consider the totality of 
interim data to determine whether there are sufficient evidence to justify the termination of study 
treatment and/or enrollment due to futility.
6.15. Annual Report Analyses
Annual report analyses, including Developmental Safety Update Report and Investigator’s 
Brochure analyses, are described in the LY2835219 Program SAP.
6.16. Clinical Trial Registry Analyses
Additional analyses will be performed for the purpose of fulfilling the Clinical Trial Registry 
(CTR) requirements.
Analyses provided for the CTR requirements include the following:

Summary of adverse events, provided as a dataset which will be converted to an XML 
file. Both Serious Adverse Events and ‘Other’ Adverse Events are summarized: by 
treatment group, by MedDRA preferred term.

An adverse event is considered ‘Serious’ whether or not it is a treatment emergent 
adverse event (TEAE).

An adverse event is considered in the ‘Other’ category if it is both a TEAE and is not 
serious.  For each Serious AE and ‘Other’ AE, for each term and treatment group, the 
following are provided:
o
the number of participants at risk of an event
o
the number of participants who experienced each event term
o
the number of events experienced.

Consistent with www.ClinicalTrials.gov requirements, ‘Other’ AEs that occur in fewer 
than 5% of patients/subjects in every treatment group may not be included if a 5% 
threshold is chosen (5% is the minimum threshold).

AE reporting is consistent with other document disclosures for example, the CSR, 
manuscripts, and so forth.
