Summary

This trial is to study a new drug's safety, dosage, and how well it works against different types of cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced cancers like breast, ovarian, cervical, endometrial cancer or other solid tumors resistant to standard therapies. Participants must have a measurable lesion and an estimated life expectancy over 12 weeks. They should not have severe systemic diseases, active infections (HIV/Hepatitis), brain metastases requiring steroids, significant heart issues or previous bad reactions to AZD5363.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and tolerability of AZD5363 in patients with advanced cancer. It aims to find the right dose and schedule for future use while examining how the body processes this drug and its effectiveness against certain mutations in genes related to cancer growth.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of AZD5363 may include issues related to glucose metabolism disturbances, bleeding disorders due to uncontrolled systemic diseases, infection risks including hepatitis B/C and HIV reactivation if previously infected, neurological symptoms from untreated brain metastases or worsening cardiac conditions.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Parts E and F, Intermittent dosing with FulvestrantExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Oral AZD5363 twice daily, 4 days on treatment, 3 days off treatment to cessation of therapy combined with background therapy of fulvestrant at its licensed dose of 500mg intramuscularly on days 1,15,29 and once monthly thereafter to cessation of therapy.
Group II: Parts A,B,C,D Schedule 2, Intermittent dosingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part A: Ascending doses of AZD5363 administered orally, twice daily, on a 7-day repeating regimen (4 days on, 3 days off and 2 days on, 5 days off), to define the maximum tolerated dose. Part B: Dose expansion phase, at the defined maximum tolerated dose or recommended dose from Part A (4 days on, 3 days off and 2 days on, 5 days off). Part C and D: AZD5363 orally, twice daily on an intermittent regimen (4 days on, 3 days off).
Group III: Parts A and B Schedule 3, Intermittent dosing.Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part A: Ascending doses of AZD5363 administered orally, twice daily, on an alternative weekly regimen. Initiation of Schedule 3 is dependant on emerging clinical data. Part B: Dose expansion phase, at the defined maximum tolerated dose or recommended dose from Part A
Group IV: Part A and B Schedule 1, Continuous dosingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part A: Ascending doses of AZD5363 administered orally, every day to define the maximum tolerated dose. Part B: Dose expansion phase, at the defined maximum tolerated dose or recommended dose from Part A.
