Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: LY2603618 + GemcitabineExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants participated in Phase 1 or 2. LY2603618 (Phase 1): 70 to 250 milligrams/meter squared (mg/m\^2) LY2603618 as a 1-hour continuous intravenous (IV) infusion once per week for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week of rest. This 28-day cycle was repeated for a minimum of 2 cycles and/or until disease progression (DP). Participants received LY2603618 as part of the dose escalation cohort (dose of 70, 105, 150, 200, or 250 mg/m\^2) or the expansion cohort (flat dose of 200 mg or 230 mg). LY2603618 (Phase 2): 230 mg LY2603618 as a 1-hour continuous IV infusion once per week for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week of rest. This 28-day cycle was repeated for a minimum of 2 cycles and/or until DP. Gemcitabine (Phase 1 and 2): 1000 mg/m\^2 gemcitabine as a 30-minute continuous IV infusion once per week for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week of rest. This 28-day cycle was repeated for a minimum of 2 cycles and/or until DP. Participants received gemcitabine 24 hours prior to LY2603618 administration.
Group II: GemcitabineActive Control1 Intervention
Participants participated in Phase 2 only. Gemcitabine (Phase 2): 1000 mg/m\^2 gemcitabine as a 30-minute continuous IV infusion once per week for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week of rest. This 28-day cycle was repeated for a minimum of 2 cycles and/or until disease progression.
