May 7, 2026 updated by: AstraZeneca

PRIMROSE: A Modular Phase I/IIa, Multi-centre, Dose Escalation, and Expansion Study of AZD3470, a MTA Cooperative PRMT5 Inhibitor, as Monotherapy and in Combination With Anticancer Agents in Participants With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors That Are MTAP Deficient

This is a first time in human (FTiH) Phase I/IIa, open-label, multi-centre study of AZD3470 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with MTAP deficiency. The study consists of several study modules, evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of AZD3470 as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-cancer agents.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This first time in human, open-label, multi-centre study of AZD3470 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with MTAP deficiency follows a modular design. Module 1 Part A will include the dose escalation cohorts. Part B will include the dose optimization and expansion cohorts. The purpose of the Phase 2 Module 2 is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD3470 in combination with Dato-DXd versus Dato-DXd alone - dose optimization and expansion. New modules for combination treatments may be added in the future based on emerging data.
