Study Overview

Study of AZD5863 in Adult Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

This research is designed to determine if experimental treatment with AZD5863, a T cell-engaging bispecific antibody that targets Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) and CD3, is safe, tolerable and has anti-cancer activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.

This is a first-time in human, modular Phase I/II, open-label multicentre study of AZD5863 monotherapy administered intravenously (Module 1), or AZD5863 monotherapy administered subcutaneously (Module 2) in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Each module contains dose-escalation (Part A) and dose-expansion (Part B).

Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
The number of patients with adverse eventsNumber of patients with adverse events by system organ class and preferred termFrom first dose of study drug up to 90 days post last dose and prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy
The number of patients with adverse events of special interestNumber of patients with adverse events of special interest by system organ class and preferred termFrom first dose of study drug up to 90 days post last dose and prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy
The number of patients with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), as defined in the protocol.A DLT is a toxicity as defined in the protocol that occurs from the first dose of study drug up to and including the planned end of Cycle 1 (the DLT assessment period) that is assessed as unrelated to the disease or disease-related processes under investigation.From first dose of study drug until the end of Cycle 1
The number of patients with serious adverse eventsNumber of patients with serious adverse events by system organ class and preferred termFrom first dose of study drug up to 90 days post last dose and prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy
Objective Response Rate (ORR)The percentage of patients with a confirmed investigator assessed complete or partial response according to response criteria in solid tumours (RECIST 1.1). Dose expansion only.From first dose of study drug to progressive disease or death in the absence of disease progression (approx. 2 years)
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)The percentage of patients with a confirmed investigator assessed complete or partial response according to response criteria in solid tumours (RECIST 1.1). Dose escalation only.From first dose of study drug to progressive disease or death in the absence of disease progression (approx. 2 years)
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Percentage of patients with confirmed complete or partial response or having stable disease maintained for >= 11 weeks from first dose, according to response criteria in solid tumours (RECIST 1.1).From first dose of study drug to progressive disease or death in the absence of disease progression (approx. 2 years)
Duration of response (DoR)The time from the date of first response until date of disease progression or death in the absence of disease progression, according to response criteria in solid tumours (RECIST 1.1).From the first documented response to progressive disease or death in the absence of disease progression (approx. 2 years)
Progression free Survival (PFS)The time from the start of study treatment/date of randomization until RECIST 1.1 defined disease progression or death in the absence of disease progression.From the start of study treatment/date of randomization to progressive disease or death in the absence of disease progression (approx. 2 years)
Overall Survival (OS)The time from the start of study treatment/date of randomization until death due to any cause.From the start of study treatment/date of randomization to death (to be followed-up for approx. 2 years)
Pharmacokinetics of AZD5863: Maximum plasma concentration of the study drug (Cmax)Maximum observed plasma concentration of the study drugFrom the first dose of study intervention, at predefined intervals throughout the study (approx. 2 years)
Pharmacokinetics of AZD5863: Area Under the concentration-time curve (AUC)Area under the plasma concentration-time curveFrom the first dose of study intervention, at predefined intervals throughout the study (approx. 2 years)
Pharmacokinetics of AZD5863: ClearanceA pharmacokinetic measurement of the volume of plasma from which the study drug is completely removed per unit time.From the first dose of study intervention, at predefined intervals throughout the study (approx. 2 years)
Pharmacokinetics of AZD5863: Terminal elimination half-life (t 1/2)Terminal elimination half life.From the first dose of study intervention, at predefined intervals throughout the study (approx. 2 years)
Immunogenicity of AZD5863The number and percentage of participants who develop anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) measured in serumFrom the first dose of study intervention, at predefined intervals throughout the study (approx. 2 years)
Preliminary antitumor activity with target expression pre- and post-delivery of AZD5863Measure CLDN18.2 expression (IHC) in baseline and/or on-treatment tumor biopsies and correlate with clinical outcomeFrom time of Informed consent, at predefined intervals (including screening, on-treatment or end of treatment) throughout the study (over approx. 2 years)
