Treatment: Drugs - LY2157299
Treatment: Drugs - Sorafenib
Treatment: Drugs - Ramucirumab

Experimental: Part A Cohort 1-160 milligram (mg) LY2157299 - Per the protocol, following an interim analysis, the decision was taken to no longer randomize participants to the 160 mg LY2157299 arm. As of May 25,2012, all newly enrolled participants will receive 300 mg LY2157299.

80 mg LY2157299 given orally twice daily (BID) for 14 days followed by 14 days off (28-day cycle).

Participants will continue to receive until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met.

Experimental: Part A Cohort 2 - 300 mg LY2157299 - 150 mg LY2157299 given orally BID for 14 days followed by 14 days off (28-day cycle).

Participants will continue to receive until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met.

Experimental: Part B - 300 mg LY2157299 - 150 mg LY2157299 given orally BID for 14 days followed by 14 days off (28-day cycle).

Participants will continue to receive until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met.

Experimental: Part C Cohort 1 - 160 mg LY2157299 + 800 mg Sorafenib - 80 mg LY2157299 given orally BID on Days 1 to 14 in combination with 400 mg Sorafenib BID on days 1 to 28 (28-day cycle).

Participants will continue to receive until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met.

Experimental: Part C Cohort 2 - 300 mg LY2157299 + 800 mg Sorafenib - 150 mg LY2157299 given orally BID on Days 1 to 14 in combination with 400 mg Sorafenib BID on days 1 to 28 (28-day cycle).

Participants will continue to receive until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met.

Experimental: Part D Cohort 1 - 160 mg LY2157299 + 8 mg/kg Ramucirumab - 80 mg LY2157299 given orally BID on days 1 to 14 in combination with ramucirumab 8 mg/kilogram (kg) intravenous (IV) on days 1 and 15 (28-day cycle).

Participants will continue to receive until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met.

Experimental: Part D Cohort 2 - 300 mg LY2157299 + 8 mg/kg Ramucirumab - 150 mg LY2157299 given orally BID on days 1 to 14 in combination with ramucirumab 8 mg/kg IV on days 1 and 15 (28-day cycle).

Participants will continue to receive until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another withdrawal criterion is met.
