Summary

This trial is for patients with bladder cancer who have progressed on prior treatment. It is designed to study the safety and tolerability of multiple agents as monotherapy or in combination.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 25 with muscle invasive bladder cancer who've had prior treatment fail within a year. They must have at least one measurable lesion, be in good physical condition (WHO performance status 0-1), and not have certain genetic mutations or severe organ dysfunction. Participants need to use effective contraception during and after the study for specified periods.
What is being tested?
The trial tests multiple drugs (MEDI4736, Olaparib, AZD1775, etc.) alone or in combination against bladder cancer. It's an early-phase study assessing safety, tolerability, how the body processes these drugs, and their effectiveness against tumors.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions that can cause inflammation in various organs; blood disorders; fatigue; digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea; increased risk of infections due to lowered immunity; possible liver function changes.

Trial Design

8Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Module G: MEDI4736 + SelumetinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Group II: Module F: MEDI4736 (durvaluamb) + AZD9150Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
AZD9150 will be given as monotherapy on Days -7, -5, and -3 of a one week lead-in period. Combination dosing with IV AZD9150 followed by IV MEDI4736 (durvalumab) begins on Day 1 of each 28 day cycle. Thereafter AZD9150 is given weekly and MEDI4736 is given once every 4 weeks.
Group III: Module E: MEDI4736 (durvalumab) + VistusertibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
MEDI4736 (durvalumab) will be given by IV infusion once every 4 weeks. Vistusertib will be given orally twice per day on an intermittent schedule (2 days on, 5 days off).
Group IV: Module D: MEDI4736 (durvalumab) monotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
MEDI 4736 (durvalumab) will be given by IV infusion once every 4 weeks.
Group V: Module C: MEDI4736 (durvaluamb) + AZD1775Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
MEDI4736 (durvalumab) will be given by IV infusion once every 4 weeks. AZD1775 will be given orally in approximate 12 hour intervals over 3 days (6 doses) on Days 1-3, 8-10, and 15-17 of 28 day cycles.
Group VI: Module B: MEDI4736 (durvalumab) + OlaparibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
MEDI4736 (durvalumab) will be given by IV infusion once every 4 weeks. Olaparib will be given orally twice daily.
Group VII: Module A: MEDI4736 (durvalumab) + AZD4547Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
AZD4547 will be given orally twice daily until disease progression. Patients will also receive MEDI 4736 (durvalumab) by IV infusion once every 4 weeks.
Group VIII: Module A: AZD4547 MonotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
AZD4547 will be given orally twice daily until disease progression. Patients who receive AZD4547 as monotherapy will have the option to cross over to durvalumab as monotherapy at the point of objective progression, as long as the following criteria are met: * The investigator believes it is in the patient's interest to receive durvalumab; * The patient consents to the continued treatment; * It is clinically appropriate for the patient to continue on durvalumab treatment; * The patient satisfies the key eligibility criteria for receiving durvalumab treatment.
