Summary

This trial is designed to study the safety and effectiveness of a new drug in people with a certain medical condition. It is split into two parts, with the first part focusing on safety and the second part focusing on effectiveness.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced solid tumors or relapsed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, who have tried ≤3 previous cancer treatments (or none for certain arms), can join. They must be in good physical condition (ECOG PS 0 or 1) with proper organ function and measurable disease. Women of childbearing age and men with partners of childbearing potential must use effective birth control.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing MEDI4736 combined with either AZD9150 or AZD5069, plus tremelimumab in some cases, to treat advanced cancers. It's a two-part study: Part A finds safe doses; Part B expands on those doses to further assess safety and effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune system reactions that may cause inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions, fatigue, digestive issues like diarrhea or colitis, blood disorders such as anemia or clotting problems, increased risk of infections due to immune suppression.
