A Phase 2 Study of LY3537021 for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (GIP Peptide Analog)
Eli Lilly and Company
Summary
This ongoing Phase 2 trial (n=204) evaluates LY3537021, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) analog, as add-on to standard antiemetic therapies for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in adults receiving cisplatin or anthracycline/cyclophosphamide regimens. The primary endpoint is complete response in the delayed CINV phase (24-120 hours post-chemotherapy).
Clinical Significance
This represents a novel application of incretin-based peptides beyond metabolic disease—leveraging GIP receptor signaling for antiemetic purposes. If successful, LY3537021 could expand the therapeutic utility of incretin peptides into supportive oncology care, addressing a significant unmet need in CINV management, particularly for highly emetogenic regimens.
