Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Part A (Dose Escalation): Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
From start of treatment [Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) (each cycle was 28 days)] up to 90 days post last dose (approximately 2 years 5 months)

The safety and tolerability of sabestomig in participants with r/r cHL were assessed.

Part A (Dose Escalation): Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
From first dose (C1D1) until 28 days for each participant [within 28 days DLT period]

DLT was defined as any ≥Grade 3 AE as per NCI CTCAE version 5 unless unequivocally due to underlying malignancy or an extraneous cause. The following conditions were considered as DLTs: * Any death not clearly due to the underlying disease or extraneous causes * Grade 4 imAE or anemia * Any ≥Grade 3 non-infectious pneumonitis or colitis of any duration * Specific liver transaminase elevation as per protocol * Any Grade 3 imAE, including rash, pruritus, or diarrhea, that does not downgrade to Grade 2 or less within 7 days * Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea that does not resolve to Grade 2 or less within 3 days of getting maximal supportive care * ≥Grade 3 neutropenia, without fever or systemic infection, that does not improve by at least one grade within 7 days * Grade 4 thrombocytopenia for more than 7 days or ≥Grade 3 thrombocytopenia along with Grade ≥2 bleeding * Grade 4 Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) of any duration or Grade 3 CRS not improving to Grade ≤2 within 72 hours

Part B (Dose Expansion): Cohort B1: Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Up to approximately 2 years 90 days

The anti-tumor activity of sabestomig in participants with r/r cHL was planned to be assessed. ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with an objective response \[Best Overall Response of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)\] as per modified Lugano criteria (Lugano 2014), with the denominator defined as the number of participants in the response-evaluable analysis set. Disease response was planned to be assessed according to Blinded Independent Central Review using modified Lugano criteria (Lugano 2014).

Part B (Dose Expansion): Cohort B2: Complete Response Rate (CRR)
Up to approximately 2 years 90 days

The anti-tumor activity of sabestomig in participants with r/r cHL was planned to be assessed. The CRR was defined as the percentage of participants with a CR as per modified Lugano criteria (Lugano 2014), with the denominator defined as the number of participants in the response-evaluable analysis set. Disease response was planned to be assessed according to Blinded Independent Central Review using modified Lugano criteria (Lugano 2014).

Part B (Dose Expansion): Number of Participants With AEs
Up to approximately 2 years 90 days

The safety and tolerability of sabestomig in participants with r/r cHL was planned to be assessed.

Secondary Endpoints

Part A (Dose Escalation): Complete Response Rate (CRR)
From start of treatment [C1D1 (each cycle was 28 days)] until first documented disease progression, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression (up to 2 years 5 months)
Part A (Dose Escalation): Objective Response Rate (ORR)
From start of treatment [C1D1 (each cycle was 28 days)] until progression, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression (up to 2 years 5 months)
Part A (Dose Escalation): Duration of Response (DoR)
From first documented response until date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, or data cut-off or end of study (whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years 5 months)

Frequently asked questions about Sabestomig

What is Sabestomig used for?

Sabestomig is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma. It is intended for patients whose disease has not responded to prior therapy or has returned after treatment. The drug is currently in clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What does Sabestomig target?

Sabestomig is a small molecule developed by AstraZeneca for oncology. Its specific molecular target has not been disclosed in the available information. The drug is being evaluated for its safety and preliminary efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Who makes Sabestomig?

Sabestomig is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a multinational pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol AZN. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's potential in treating relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

What phase is Sabestomig in?

Sabestomig is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet received regulatory approval. The Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug is still being studied to assess its safety and preliminary efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

What clinical trials is Sabestomig in?

Sabestomig has been studied in one clinical trial with the identifier NCT05216835. This Phase 1 trial, titled 'Safety and Preliminary Efficacy Assessment of AZD7789 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma,' enrolled 45 participants across the United States, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The trial has been completed.

Is Sabestomig the same as AZD7789?

Sabestomig is also known as AZD7789. The clinical trial NCT05216835, which evaluated the drug in patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma, used the name AZD7789 in its title. Both names refer to the same investigational drug being developed by AstraZeneca.
