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

Study Purpose

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

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

  • - History of severe brain-injury or stroke.
  • - Patient not eligible for sequential MRI evaluations are not eligible for this study.
  • - History of epileptic disorder or any seizure history unrelated to tumor.
  • - Treatment with Strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 within 2 weeks prior to receiving study drug.
  • - Concurrent therapy with other seizurogenic medications.
  • - Past medical history of interstitial lung disease (ILD), drug-induced ILD, radiation pneumonitis which required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active ILD.
  • - Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition (e.g., severe COPD).
  • - Prior treatment with pneumotoxic drugs, e.g. busulfan, bleomycin, within the past year.
If prior therapy in lifetime, then excluded if history of pulmonary toxicities from administration. Patients who have received treatment with nitrosoureas (e.g., carmustine, lomustine) in the year before study entry without experiencing lung toxicity are allowed on study.
  • - History or presence of myopathy or raised creatine kinase (CK) >5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) on 2 occasions at screening.
  • - Cardiac dysfunction defined as: Myocardial infarction within six months of study entry, NYHA (New York Heart Association) Class II/III/IV heart failure, unstable angina, unstable cardiac arrhythmias.
  • - Evidence of severe pulmonary infections, as judged by the investigator.
  • - With the exception of alopecia, any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE 4.03) Grade 1 at the time of starting study treatment and patients with chronic Grade 2 unresolved toxicities may be eligible.

  • - Diabetes Type I, Type II, or steroid-induced diabetes.
- Undergoing systemic steroid treatment *Note: the optional food effect assessment is currently not open to enrolment*

Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This first time-in patients (FTIP), open-label, multicentre study of AZD1390 will be conducted in the United States and in the United Kingdom, and it consists of three treatment arms: Arm A, B, C. 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) - 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.
