Adavosertib for Cancer
Phase 2
Waitlist Available
Led By Rahul R Aggarwal
Research Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Male patients willing to abstain or use barrier contraception (i.e. condoms) for the duration of the study and for 3 months after treatment stops
Cohort B: Patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (with clear cell component on pathology), who have been treated with at least one prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease, including either tyrosine kinase inhibitor and/or immune checkpoint inhibitor, with evidence of SETD2 mutation on CLIA-certified next generation sequencing panel
Must not have
Any known hypersensitivity or contraindication to the components of the study drug AZD1775
Known malignant central nervous system (CNS) disease other than neurologically stable, treated brain metastases - defined as metastasis having no evidence of progression or hemorrhage for at least 2 weeks after treatment; must be off any systemic corticosteroids for the treatment of brain metastases for at least 14 days prior to enrollment; patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events

Summary
This trial studies how well adavosertib works in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that lack the SETD2 gene. Adavosertib may help stop tumor growth by blocking enzymes needed for cancer cells to grow. Adavosertib is a first-in-class, small-molecule reversible inhibitor of WEE1 kinase, previously shown to have clinical activity in various cancers.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have spread and have a SETD2 mutation. They must have tried at least one therapy, be able to swallow pills, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, use contraception if fertile, and meet certain health criteria like specific blood cell counts.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Adavosertib's effectiveness on patients with SETD2-deficient advanced solid tumors. It's a phase II study where the drug aims to block enzymes needed for tumor growth.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Adavosertib may include fatigue, nausea, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, and other common chemotherapy-related reactions.

Research Highlights
Information in this section is not a recommendation. We encourage patients to speak with their healthcare team when evaluating any treatment decision.Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
Common treatments for Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) include targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and enzyme inhibitors. Targeted therapies, such as VEGFR inhibitors, work by blocking the blood supply to the tumor, effectively starving it of nutrients needed for growth.
Immunotherapies, like checkpoint inhibitors, enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells. Enzyme inhibitors, such as adavosertib, target specific enzymes necessary for cancer cell proliferation, thereby halting tumor growth.
These mechanisms are crucial for RCC patients as they offer personalized treatment options that can be more effective and have fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
