Phase I Study to Assess the Effect of Food on AZD1775 Pharmacokinetics in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

A Randomised, Open-label, Phase I Study to Determine the Effect of Food on the Pharmacokinetics of AZD1775 After Oral Dosing of a Capsule Formulation in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of AZD1775 (printed capsules) in patients with advanced solid tumours.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Solid Tumours
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Treatment A - AZD1775 administered under fasted conditions; Drug: Treatment B - AZD1775 administered under fed conditions.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase I, open-label, randomised, 2-period crossover design study in patients with advanced solid tumours.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of AZD1775 (printed capsules).In addition single dose safety and tolerability data will be gathered.

Patients will be screened within 28 days of Day 1 of the first treatment period (Period 1). Patients will take part in 2 randomised treatment sequences each separated by a washout period of at least 5 and no more than 14 days.

During Period 1, prior to administration of the first dose of study treatment, each patient will be randomised to 1 of 2 treatment sequences (Fasted-Fed or Fed-Fasted) to receive a single oral dose of 300 mg AZD1775 in each of the 2 treatment periods as follows:

• Fasted (Treatment A): Single dose 300 mg AZD1775, (3 x 100 mg, printed capsules).
• Fed (Treatment B): Single dose 300 mg AZD1775, (3 x 100 mg, printed capsules).

Pharmacokinetic and safety assessments will be obtained for up to 72 hours post-dose in each treatment period.

On completion of the study (ie, after collection of 72-hour PK sample and safety in period 2) patients will be evaluated per current assessments for their eligibility and interest to enrol into the open-label continued treatment access study (D6014C000007).
