A Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of AZD1390 Given With Radiation Therapy in Patients With Brain Cancer

A Phase I, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Ascending Doses of AZD1390 in Combination With Radiation Therapy in Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme and Brain Metastases From Solid Tumors

This study will test an investigational drug called AZD1390 in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of brain tumors. This is the first time AZD1390 is being given to patients. This study will test safety, tolerability and PK (how the drug is absorbed, distributed and eliminated) of ascending doses of AZD1390 in combination with distinct regimens of radiation therapy

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme; Brain Neoplasms, Malignant; Primary Glioblastoma Multiforme; Leptomeningeal Disease (LMD)
• Intervention / Treatment: Radiation: Radiation Therapy; Drug: AZD1390; Radiation: Radiation Therapy; Radiation: Radiation Therapy; Drug: AZD1390; Drug: AZD1390

Detailed Description

This first time-in patients (FTIP), open-label, multicentre study of AZD1390 will be conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. It consists of three treatment arms: Arm A, B, C. The Japan dose confirmation part (Japan part) is a sub-study of Arm A. Sites from Japan will only participate in the Japan part. This Phase 1 study will assess safety and tolerability of AZD1390 in combination with radiation therapy (RT) in brain malignancies. The combination cohorts have been designed to assess escalating cumulative doses of AZD1390 in settings with 3 different radiation treatment regimens:

• Arm A: 35 Gy over 2 weeks with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Arm A will also include the food effect cohort
• Arms B: 30 Gy over two weeks with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT)/ partial brain radiation therapy (PBRT) in patients with brain metastases. **Arm B has now closed to recruitment**
• Arm C: 60 Gy over 6 weeks (IMRT) in patients with primary GBM Each arm provides standard of care RT for the disease setting indicated with the experimental agent being administered in dose escalating cohorts.

• Study Type: Interventional
• Enrollment (Estimated): 180
• Phase: Phase 1

Event free survival (EFS) for Arms A and C only	Defined as the time from the first dose of AZD1390 until the occurrence of any of the following events: Tumor progression or recurrence based on RANO criteria; Secondary malignancy; Change in tumor treatment due to increase clinical symptoms; Death due to any cause	From the start of treatment until the patient is off study (approximately 9 months after the last patient has started treatment)
Objective response rate defined by RANO criteria for Arms A and C only	The proportion of patients achieving a complete or partial tumor response (CR or PR) according to RANO criteria.
