The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

anti-Claudin18.2 ADC AZD0901. An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of a monoclonal antibody directed against the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2; A2 isoform of claudin-18) conjugated via a cleavable linker, to the microtubule-disrupting cytotoxic agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, anti-CLDN18.2 ADC AZD0901 specifically targets and binds to CLDN18.2 expressed on tumor cells. Upon internalization and the release of MMAE, MMAE targets and binds to tubulin, and inhibits microtubule polymerization. This results in G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in CLDN18.2-expressing tumor cells. CLDN18.2, a tight junction protein and stomach-specific isoform of claudin-18, is expressed on a variety of tumor cells. Its expression in healthy tissues is strictly confined to short-lived differentiated epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa. NCI Drug Dictionary

The study

Treatment groups

Randomized · Parallel · masking: None

Sub Study 1 - AZD0901 MONOTHERAPY (Experimental)

Sub Study 1 will investigate AZD0901 monotherapy in order to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AZD0901.

Sub Study 2 - AZD0901 IN COMBINATION WITH ANTI-CANCER AGENTS IN PANCREATIC DUCTAL ADENOCARCINOMA (Experimental)

Substudy 2 will investigate the safety and efficacy of AZD0901 as first line systemic treatment used in combination with different chemotherapy agents

Sub Study 3: AZD0901 MONOTHERAPY IN BILIARY TRACT CANCER (Experimental)

Substudy 3 Further evaluate the preliminary anti-tumour activity of AZD0901 monotherapy by assessment of DRR.

Goals

What the study measures

Main goals

  • Incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs). Changes from baseline in clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECGs and physical examination. Rate of AEs leading to discontinuation of AZD0901, Occurrence of DLTs. (30 days post treatment completion. AE Follow Up for 90 days post AZD0901 discontinuation.)
  • Objective Response Rate (ORR). (From date of first dose of AZD0901 up until progression, or the last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression (approximately 2 years).)

Other goals

  • Overall Survival (OS)
  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)
  • Duration of Response (DoR)
  • Disease control rate (DCR)
  • Percentage change in tumor size
  • Serum concentration of AZD0901 (total ADC), total antibody (conjugated and unconjugated) and total unconjugated MMAE
  • Serum PK parameters of AZD0901, total antibody (conjugated and unconjugated) and MMAE including but not limited to AUC, Cmax, tmax, clearance and half-life, as data allow.
  • Clinical activity by baseline and/or on-treatment tissue-based biomarkers including, but not limited to, gene expression, mutation profiles, DNA damage, protein expression, immune response and/or mechanisms of resistance.
  • ADA status will be determined along with prevalence and incidence of anti-drug antibodies to AZD0901, and titer established.

Planned enrollment: 226 (estimated).
