Study summary

This is a phase Ib/II, open-label multicentre study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary anti-tumour activity of AZD9150 plus durvalumab alone or in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced, solid tumours and subsequently in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

Read the detailed description

This international, multicenter study was originally intended to be conducted in four parts, designated as Parts A, B, C, and D. The protocol was amended in December 2018 to remove Parts B and C. Parts B and C were intended to evaluate patients with locally advanced or metastatic Stage IV NSCLC; however, these parts of the study will not be conducted.

Part A of this study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of durvalumab and AZD9150 with and without selected chemotherapy regimens, and will include patients with advanced solid malignancies that are refractory to standard therapy or for whom no standard of care (SOC) regimen currently exists.

Part D will compare the relative bioavailability of the AZD9150 subcutaneous (SC) versus intravenous (IV) formulations in patients with confirmed solid malignancies that are refractory to standard therapy or for whom no SOC regimen currently exists. Approximately 50 to 62 PK-evaluable patients will be enrolled in Part D. Patients will be randomly assigned to either SC or IV AZD9150. For Part D, the PK Analysis set will include all patients who receive both study drugs (both AZD9150 and durvalumab) and have at least one PK sample collection.

A complementary anti-tumour strategy will be used in this study with 2 immuno-therapeutics applied to restore effective anti-tumour immunity at 2 distinct stages: promoting the effector function of T-cell responses with an anti-PD-L1 mAb, durvalumab, while hindering immune escape in the tumour bed with AZD9150. In addition, chemotherapy will be added to this combination to investigate possible future enhancement of response. In preclinical models, conventional platinum-based chemotherapy has been shown to induce T-cell activation through the release of tumour-specific antigens during cancer cell death. The elimination of persistent tolerogenic tumour antigen environment via chemotherapy-induced debulking may also play a role in generating an effective immune response. In this setting, immunotherapy has the potential to mount an ongoing and dynamic immune response that can kill tumour cells for an extended time.

Part A of the study will be conducted in five arms, designated Arms A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5. The primary objective of Part A is to assess the safety and tolerability, and determining the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of AZD9150 plus durvalumab in patients with advanced solid malignancies. In addition, another primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability, and determine the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D) of AZD9150 plus durvalumab in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens in patients with advanced solid malignancies. Approximately 30 to 78 DLT-evaluable patients will be enrolled in Part A.

In Arm A1, patients will receive AZD9150 by (IV) infusion Q2W + durvalumab by IV infusion Q4W. Chemotherapy will not be given in Arm A1.

Arm A2 patients will receive AZD9150 IV QW + durvalumab IV Q3W, cisplatin by slow IV infusion over 1-4 hours on Day 1 + 5-fluorouracil (5FU) by continuous IV infusion over 96 hours (Days 1 through 4, repeated every 3 weeks for up to 18 weeks). In Arm A2 there will be a AZD9150 + chemotherapy lead-in period prior to durvalumab dosing. The last chemotherapy dose will be given in Week 15. After discontinuation of chemotherapy the regimen will include AZD9150 IV QW + durvalumab IV Q4W. Administration of durvalumab will continue Q3W through Week 19, at which time the schedule will switch to Q4W (e.g., Week 23, 27, 31, etc.).

Depending on the results from Arm A2, Arm A3 may not be conducted. If the Safety Review Committee (SRC) decides to open Arm A3, the SRC will determine the starting dose. Patients will be administered one of the following 4 chemotherapy regimens in combination with AZD9150 and durvalumab appropriate for their tumour type:

  • In Arm A3, patients will receive cisplatin by slow IV infusion over 1-4 hours on Day 1 + 5FU by continuous IV infusion over 96 hours (Days 1 through 4, repeated every 3 weeks for up to 18 weeks).
  • In Arm A4, patients will receive gemcitabine by IV infusion over 30 minutes on Days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks for 12 to 18 weeks, plus either:

    • for cisplatin-eligible patients: cisplatin IV over 30 minutes on Day 1 (every 3 weeks for up to 12 to 18 weeks); or
    • for cisplatin-ineligible patients: carboplatin IV over 30 to 60 minutes on Day 1 (every 3 weeks for up to 12 to 18 weeks).
  • In Arm A5, patients will receive carboplatin at AUC 5 IV over 30 to 60 minutes on Day 1 + nab-paclitaxel IV over 30 to 40 minutes on Days 1, 8, and 15 (every 3 weeks for up to 12 to 18 weeks)

There will be an AZD9150 7-day lead-in period (termed Week 0) in all arms in all parts of the study. AZD9150 will be given IV on Days 1,3, and 5 of the lead-in week. When chemotherapy is administered, the dosing of chemotherapy will also commence during the lead-in period with AZD9150. In Arm A2 of Part A, dosing with AZD9150 IV, durvalumab, and chemotherapy will commence on Day 1 of Week 0. In Part D, dosing with AZD9150 IV or SC will commence on Day 1 of Week 0

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(31)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

CTCAE grade

The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.

1
Mild.
2
Moderate.
3
Severe.
4
Life-threatening.
5
Death due to the event.

“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Part A: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) in subjects receiving AZD9150 plus durvalumab and AZD9150 plus durvalumab plus chemotherapy.

    The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) will be determined by assessment of the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). DLTs may come from the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), the change from baseline in vital signs, clinical chemistry, haemotology, and urinalysis parameters will be evaluated for each treatment arm in Part A of the study.

    Time frame: Through study completion (an average of 6 months). Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be assessed through 5 weeks for patients who do not receive chemotherapy or 3 weeks for patients receiving chemotherapy.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 21, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
