TrialFetch AI Analysis

Goal: Evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of the PARP1-selective inhibitor AZD9574 as monotherapy and in combination with temozolomide, trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), and datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in patients with advanced solid tumors, including exploration of CNS penetration/PD with a PET radiotracer and assessment of food and acid-reducing agent effects on exposure.

Patients: Adults with progressive, advanced or metastatic solid malignancies and adequate organ function. Module 1 enrolls PARP inhibitor–suitable patients with HRR gene alterations (BRCA1/2, PALB2, RAD51C/D) across ovarian, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancer; expansion focuses on HER2-negative BRCA/PALB2/RAD51C/D-mutant breast cancer with or without brain metastases. Module 2 enrolls recurrent IDH1/2-mutant glioma after radiotherapy and one alkylating regimen. Module 3 (Sweden) includes PET sub-studies in HRR-mutant breast/ovarian/prostate/pancreatic cancers and IDH-mutant glioma. Module 4 enrolls HER2-positive or HER2-expressing solid tumors (selected breast, gastric, NSCLC including HER2-activating mutations, colorectal, bladder, ovarian, and other specified tumors). Module 5 enrolls unresectable/metastatic TNBC, endometrial, ovarian cancer, and CRPC. Key exclusions include unresolved ≥Grade 2 toxicities, active/uncontrolled comorbidities or infections, prior extensive PARPi exposure in certain modules, recent bevacizumab in glioma, ILD/pneumonitis risks for ADC modules, and restrictions on acid-reducing agents and MRI contraindications in relevant parts.

Design: Modular, open-label, multi-center Phase I/IIa program with non-randomized dose escalation and dose expansion cohorts. Approximately 535 participants across five modules; includes dedicated food- and acid-reducing agent interaction assessments and a PET occupancy sub-study.

Treatments: AZD9574 given orally as monotherapy and in combinations: AZD9574 + temozolomide (TMZ), AZD9574 + trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), and AZD9574 + datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd). AZD9574 is an investigational, selective PARP1 inhibitor designed for blood–brain barrier penetration to exploit synthetic lethality in homologous recombination–deficient tumors. By selectively inhibiting PARP1, it aims to enhance DNA damage in HRR-deficient cancer cells while potentially reducing PARP2-related hematologic toxicity seen with nonselective PARP inhibitors. Preclinical studies show CNS penetration, tumor regressions in BRCA1-mutant models, and activity in intracranial xenografts; human efficacy and safety data are not yet reported. TMZ is a standard oral alkylating agent used in gliomas. T-DXd is a HER2-directed antibody–drug conjugate delivering a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. Dato-DXd is a TROP2-directed antibody–drug conjugate with a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload.

Outcomes: Primary endpoints include safety and tolerability (adverse events, serious adverse events, labs, ECGs, vitals, ECOG), and incidence of dose-limiting toxicities to define recommended doses. Secondary endpoints characterize AZD9574 and combination PK (AUC, Cmax, Tmax, Cmin, half-life, accumulation, dose proportionality), pharmacodynamics including pH2AX modulation and PET target occupancy, and preliminary efficacy by RECIST v1.1, PCWG3, RANO-BM, and RANO (HGG/LGG) as applicable. Additional tumor-type specific endpoints include ORR, DoR, TTR, PFS/rPFS, CA125 response in ovarian cancer, and PSA50 in prostate cancer, plus immunogenicity and adverse events of special interest for ADC combinations and food/acid-reducing agent interaction effects on AZD9574 exposure.

Burden on patient: High. As an early-phase, multi-module study with dose escalation, participants should expect frequent on-site visits, intensive PK sampling across multiple early cycle timepoints, serial safety labs, ECGs, and vitals, and regular imaging approximately every 6–8 weeks. Several modules mandate fresh tumor biopsies for PD (pH2AX) and archival tissue submission; paired biopsies may be required for some participants. The PET sub-study requires additional screening for MRI/PET eligibility, radiotracer administrations, and multiple imaging sessions. Combination cohorts with ADCs involve infusion visits, monitoring for ILD/pneumonitis and cardiac function (LVEF assessments), and immunogenicity sampling. Modules include food-effect and acid-reducer interaction periods with fasting and dosing restrictions, adding logistical complexity. Travel demands and visit frequency are greater than standard of care, particularly in the first two cycles and for imaging/biopsy schedules.
