Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Objective Response Rate
Evaluated every 6 weeks from the time of their first treatment, per RECIST 1.1. Duration of therapy will depend on individual response, evidence of disease progression and tolerance, up to 1 year

The objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1 criteria on treatment. Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.

The incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Up to 28 Days

DLTs are defined as: 1. Grade 4 haematologic toxicity for ≥7 days, including infection with febrile neutropenia, or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia. 2. Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with Grade ≥2 bleeding. 3. Non-haematologic toxicity ≥Grade 3. 4. Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea that does not respond within 48 hours. 5. Grade 4 nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. 6. ALT or AST ≥5 x but ≤8 x ULN that does not resolve to Grade 2 within 5 days. ALT or AST \>8 x ULN or total bilirubin \>5 x ULN is a DLT regardless of duration. 7. AST or ALT \>3 x ULN and concurrent increase in total bilirubin \> 2 x ULN (Hy's Law) without evidence of cholestasis or alternative explanations (viral hepatitis, disease progression in the liver). 8. Grade ≥2 pneumonitis that does not resolve to ≤ Grade 1 within 7 days. 9. Clinically significant or unacceptable toxicity that does not respond to supportive care, or results in a disruption of dosing for \>7 days.

The incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) associated with AZD1775 monotherapy administered once daily (QD) in 14 day cycles (5 days on, followed by 9 days rest) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours.
Dose-limiting toxicities will be evaluated during the first 2 cycles (28 days) of AZD1775 monotherapy treatment.

The MTD will be determined through dose-escalation using a 3+3 cohort design. If less than one-third of evaluable patients in a given cohort (0 of 3 patients or 1 of 6 patients) experiences a DLT; escalation may proceed to the next higher dose level. If one of the first 3 patients enrolled in a given cohort experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), at least 3 additional patents will be enrolled in that cohort. If a DLT is observed in one-third or more of patients, the dose at which this occurs will be considered not tolerated and the MTD will have been exceeded. The highest dose level(s) at which less than one-third of patients (0 of 3 patients or 1 of 6 patients) experiences a DLT will be declared the MTD.

The incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) associated with AZD1775 monotherapy administered once daily (QD) in 21-day cycles (5 days on, followed by 2 days rest) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours.
Dose-limiting toxicities will be evaluated during the first cycle (21 days) of AZD1775 monotherapy treatment.

The MTD will be determined through dose-escalation using a 3+3 cohort design. If less than one-third of evaluable patients in a given cohort (0 of 3 patients or 1 of 6 patients) experiences a DLT; escalation may proceed to the next higher dose level. If one of the first 3 patients enrolled in a given cohort experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), at least 3 additional patents will be enrolled in that cohort. If a DLT is observed in one-third or more of patients, the dose at which this occurs will be considered not tolerated and the MTD will have been exceeded. The highest dose level(s) at which less than one-third of patients (0 of 3 patients or 1 of 6 patients) experiences a DLT will be declared the MTD.

The incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) associated with AZD1775 monotherapy administered twice daily (BID) in 14-day cycles (5 days on, followed by 9 days rest) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours.
Dose-limiting toxicities will be evaluated during the first 2 cycles (28 days) of AZD1775 monotherapy treatment.

The MTD will be determined through dose-escalation using a 3+3 cohort design. If less than one-third of evaluable patients in a given cohort (0 of 3 patients or 1 of 6 patients) experiences a DLT; escalation may proceed to the next higher dose level. If one of the first 3 patients enrolled in a given cohort experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), at least 3 additional patents will be enrolled in that cohort. If a DLT is observed in one-third or more of patients, the dose at which this occurs will be considered not tolerated and the MTD will have been exceeded. The highest dose level(s) at which less than one-third of patients (0 of 3 patients or 1 of 6 patients) experiences a DLT will be declared the MTD.

PaclitaxelEXPERIMENTALCommercially available paclitaxel will be administered at a dosage of 175 mg/m2 as a 3-hour IV infusion on Cycle Day 1 of a 21-day cycle for 6 cycles.
CarboplatinEXPERIMENTALFollowing the paclitaxel infusion, carboplatin will be administered at a dose of AUC 5 as an IV infusion on Cycle Day 1 of a 21-day cycle for 6 cycles. According to the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program Information Letter Regarding the AUC Based Dosing of Carboplatin, the maximum carboplatin dose should not exceed the target AUC (mg\*min/mL)\*150 mL/min, but it may be less (Ivy et al 2010). For this study, the maximum dose of carboplatin cannot exceed a total dose of 750 mg.

Yes, AZD 1775 and AZD1775 refer to the same drug. The name is sometimes written with or without a space, but both forms denote the identical investigational compound being developed by AstraZeneca for oncology indications.

How does AZD 1775 work?

AZD 1775 is a small molecule that targets Wee1 kinase, a key regulator of the cell cycle checkpoint. By inhibiting Wee1, it disrupts DNA damage repair mechanisms in cancer cells, potentially enhancing the effects of chemotherapy or other anticancer agents.
