Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of the study is to the evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of AZD0466 as monotherapy in partciapants with advanced haematological malignancies and also to assess drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential between AZD0466 and the azole antifungal voriconazole.

Full description

The study consists of 2 individual modules as: Module 1 (AZD0466 monotherapy), and Module 2 (DDI study of AZD0466 with voriconazole).

Eligible participants will be assigned to study treatments across Modules 1 and 2.

1. Module 1: AZD0466 monotherapy will include 2 parts- Part A dose escalation cohorts and Part B dose expansion cohorts. Initiation of Part B will depend on the evaluation of safety, tolerability, and PK in Part A.
2. Module 2: AZD0466 and voriconazole DDI study.

All participants will receive AZD0466, and administration will continue until disease progression, initiation of alternative anticancer therapy, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or other reasons to discontinue study treatment.

Enrollment: 46 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 130 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), or intermediate or higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; Part A only), which is histologically proven based on criteria established by the World Health Organization (WHO) as documented by medical records. for which there are limited treatment options known to provide clinical benefit.

The following are permitted: myelodysplastic syndrome or myeloproliferative neoplasm (including chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia [CMML]); malignancy treated with curative intent and with no evidence of active disease present for more than 2 years before screening and considered to be at low risk of recurrence by the treating physician; adequately treated lentigo malignant melanoma without current evidence of disease or adequately controlled non-melanomatous skin cancer; adequately treated carcinoma in situ without current evidence of disease.
