Study Details

Brief summary:

This research is designed to determine if experimental treatment with AZD5863, a T cell-engaging bispecific antibody that targets Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) and CD3, is safe, tolerable and has anti-cancer activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Interventions

AZD5863

T cell-engaging bi-specific antibody that targets CLDN18.2 (Claudin18.2) on tumor cells and CD3 on T cells

Primary outcome measure

  • The number of patients with adverse events [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug up to 90 days post last dose and prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy ]
  • The number of patients with adverse events of special interest [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug up to 90 days post last dose and prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy ]
  • The number of patients with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), as defined in the protocol. [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug until the end of Cycle 1 ]
  • The number of patients with serious adverse events [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug up to 90 days post last dose and prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy ]
  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug to progressive disease or death in the absence of disease progression (approx. 2 years) ]
