AZD0486 for Lymphoma
(Soundtrack-E Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called AZD0486 to determine its safety and effectiveness for certain blood cancers. Participants will be divided into groups, with some receiving AZD0486 alone and others receiving it alongside other cancer-fighting drugs. Suitable candidates have specific types of lymphoma, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or large B-cell lymphoma, and have not responded to prior treatments. The trial seeks individuals needing additional treatment options for these conditions. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive AZD0486, aiding researchers in understanding how the treatment works in people.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop any anticancer therapy at least 21 days before starting the study drug. If you are taking a CYP3A inhibitor or inducer, you may need to stop, especially for certain cohorts. The protocol does not specify other medications, so it's best to discuss with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that AZD0486 is generally safe for patients with blood cancers when used alone. Early results from past studies indicate it helps treat these conditions without causing serious side effects.
When combined with acalabrutinib, AZD0486 still appears safe. Acalabrutinib, when used with AZD0486, has been shown to slow the progression of some cancers.
For those considering AZD0486 with R-CHOP (a common chemotherapy treatment), studies suggest that this combination is usually well-tolerated.
Overall, AZD0486 seems promising in being safe across different treatment plans. However, since this trial is in the early stages, researchers are still collecting safety information.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about AZD0486 for lymphoma because it introduces a unique approach to treatment through its various formulations. Unlike standard therapies, which often involve traditional chemotherapy and targeted drugs, AZD0486 can be delivered either as a subcutaneous injection or an intravenous infusion. This flexibility in administration could improve patient comfort and adaptability. Additionally, when combined with the drug acalabrutinib, AZD0486 may enhance therapeutic effects for certain lymphoma types, potentially offering more effective outcomes than current options. Furthermore, its combination with R-CHOP, a standard chemotherapy regimen, could lead to synergistic effects, increasing the potential for better responses in patients with lymphoma.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for lymphoma?
Research has shown that AZD0486 may help treat certain blood cancers, such as Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL), especially when other treatments have failed. In this trial, participants with CLL/SLL may receive AZD0486 either as monotherapy or combined with acalabrutinib. For Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), AZD0486 is being tested as monotherapy. Early studies showed a high success rate, with 96% of patients responding to the treatment and 85% achieving complete remission. In Large B-cell Lymphoma (LBCL), AZD0486 is being tested with a common chemotherapy treatment called R-CHOP to determine if it improves outcomes. These findings suggest that AZD0486 could be a promising option for treating blood cancers.12346
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with certain types of blood cancers, like lymphoma and leukemia. They should be able to perform daily activities (ECOG 0-2) and use contraception. Specific groups need different prior treatments: one must have had at least two therapies including BTKi and BCL2i; another can join if sensitive to BTKi after one therapy.Inclusion Criteria
