Detailed Description

      AZD8835 is a novel small molecule that inhibits cancer progression by blocking PI3 kinase
      pathway components p110α and p110δ.

      In this first-time-in-patient study, AZD8835 will initially be administered as a single agent
      to patients with advanced solid malignancies. Patients will be treated at a starting dose of
      20 mg twice daily (BID), administered weekly on Days 1 and 4 and will be escalated to reach a
      maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) in patients as defined by dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). A BID
      intermittent dosing schedule administered weekly on Days 1 and 4 of an oral formulation of
      AZD8835 will be used, as deemed optimal and effective in non-clinical studies, primarily to
      determine the safety and tolerability of AZD8835. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD8835 and
      potential biological activity will also be investigated. In Part A of this study, AZD8835
      will be administered as a single agent in a multiple ascending dose escalation phase to
      investigate the appropriate monotherapy dose level for clinical use. Additional dosing
      schedules may be studies, including dosing on Days 1 and 2 of each week, rather than Days 1
      and 4.

      Backfilled pharmacodynamic (PDc) cohorts in selected patients with tumours that have
      documented mutations in the phosphatidylinositol-4,5- bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic
      subunit alpha (PIK3CA) gene will allow further preliminary assessment of the biological
      effect of AZD8835 in these patients.

      Following the single-agent dose-escalation phase of the study, additional patients with
      tumours that have documented mutations in the PIK3CA gene will be enrolled to a single-agent
      dose-expansion phase at the MTD or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) at the selected dose
      schedule (as appropriate) to explore further the safety, tolerability, PK, and biological
      activity at the selected dose (Part B).

      In addition, a further dose-escalation phase will be initiated following the observation of
      specific pre-determined criteria in the single-agent dose escalation, in which postmenopausal
      patients with oestrogen receptor positive (ER+), HER2 negative breast cancer will receive
      AZD8835 in combination with fulvestrant (Part C). The combination dose-escalation phase will
      investigate the appropriate combination dose level for clinical use.

      Following the combination dose-escalation phase of the study, additional postmenopausal
      patients with ER+ breast cancer and tumours with documented mutations of the PIK3CA gene will
      be enrolled to a AZD8835 and fulvestrant combination dose-expansion phase at the MTD or RP2D
      (as appropriate) to explore further the safety, tolerability, PK, and biological activity at
      the selected dose (Part D).

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase II dose of oral AZD8835 as a single agent and in combination with fulvestrant
Time Frame:At the end of one cycle of treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:MTD - A dose will be considered non-tolerated and dose escalation will stop if 2 or more of up to 6 evaluable patients experience a dose limiting toxicity at a dose level. Once the non-tolerated dose is defined, the MTD will be confirmed at the previous dose level below the non-tolerated dose or a dose between the non-tolerated dose and the last tolerated dose my be investigated. A minimum of 6 evaluable patients are required to determine the MTD. Recommended Phase II dose - A minimum of 6 evaluable patients is necessary to determine the recommended dose. A dose will be considered non-tolerated and dose escalation will stop if 2 or more patients experience a dose dose limiting toxicity at a dose level.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:To establish the pharmacokinetic profile of oral AZD8835 as a single agent and in combination with fulvestrant
Time Frame:Venous blood samples will be collected pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 96 hours post dose - exact schedule varies according to Part A, B, C, or D
Safety Issue:
Description:Venous blood samples (2 mL) for determination of concentrations of AZD8835 and the investigation of AZ8835 metabolites in plasma will be taken during Parts A, B, C, D
Measure:To evaluate the preliminary efficacy and anti-tumor activity of oral AZD8835 as a single agent or in combination with fulvestrant
Time Frame:Tumour response will be assessed at the completion of Cycle 2 (Week 8) and patients will be restaged after every 8 weeks for up to 1 year and every 12 weeks thereafter; assessments should be performed until disease progression.
Safety Issue:
Description:Categorization of objective tumor response will be based on RECIST v1.1 guidelines for complete response, partial response, stable disease, or progression of disease
Measure:To evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PDc) effect of oral AZD8835 as a single agent and in combination with fulvestrant
Time Frame:Tumour biopsies will be collected: (1) at pretreatment, (2) at one on-treatment time point (preferably Cycle 2 Day 1), and (3) at end of study treatment (preferably at disease progression)
Safety Issue:
Description:Tumor samples will be analyzed to assess PRAS40 phosphorylation, AKT phosphorylation, S6 phosphorylation, FOXO3a localisation
