AZD4512 for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
(ALLight Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called AZD4512 for individuals with relapsed or refractory B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL). Researchers aim to determine the treatment's safety and effectiveness. The trial consists of two parts: one to test different doses and another to identify the optimal dose. Individuals with this specific type of leukemia who have tried at least two other treatments without success may be suitable candidates for this study. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive it.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
You may need to stop certain medications before joining the trial. Specifically, you cannot have had cytotoxic treatment within 14 days, certain biologic treatments within 28 days, or medications that affect heart rhythm within 21 days. Check with the trial team for details on your specific medications.
Is there any evidence suggesting that AZD4512 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that AZD4512 is being tested for safety and tolerability in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL). Although specific safety details from these studies are not yet available, the trial is in its early stages, with careful monitoring for any side effects.
Since the trial is just beginning, information on treatment tolerability is limited. Early-phase trials typically focus on determining a drug's safety and identifying safe doses. Prospective participants should understand that the trial aims to find the optimal dose and assess any potential side effects of AZD4512 in real-life situations.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Unlike the standard treatments for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that typically involve chemotherapy or targeted therapy drugs like imatinib or dasatinib, AZD4512 targets both Philadelphia chromosome positive and negative B-ALL. This is exciting because AZD4512 works by a novel mechanism of action that might overcome resistance seen in some patients with existing treatments. Researchers are eager to see if AZD4512 could offer a new option for patients whose leukemia has relapsed or is resistant to current therapies, potentially providing a more effective and safer alternative.
What evidence suggests that AZD4512 might be an effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia?
Research shows that AZD4512 is under investigation as a potential treatment for relapsed/refractory B-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL). The trial consists of two modules: Module 1 evaluates escalating doses of AZD4512 as monotherapy to determine the maximum tolerated dose, while Module 2 further explores these doses to optimize the treatment. This treatment targets specific proteins in cancer cells, potentially stopping cancer growth. Early results suggest AZD4512 could be effective due to its direct interaction with these cancer proteins. Although human research is ongoing, initial signs are promising, indicating AZD4512 might help manage the disease in some patients. Additional studies are underway to fully understand its potential benefits and safety.13678

Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Dose Escalation
Module 1 will evaluate escalating doses of AZD4512 as monotherapy to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in participants with relapsed/refractory B-ALL.
Dose Optimization
Module 2 will randomize participants to receive AZD4512 monotherapy across 2 to 3 dose levels identified in Module 1 to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment
