Abstract

Purpose: This Phase 1, open-label study (Study 1, D3610C00001; NCT01226316) was the first-in-human evaluation of oral AZD5363, a selective pan-AKT inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid malignancies. The objectives were to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AZD5363, define a recommended dosing schedule, and evaluate preliminary clinical activity.

Experimental design: Patients were aged ?18 years with WHO performance status 0–1. Dose escalation was conducted within separate continuous and intermittent (4 days/week [4/7] or 2 days/week [2/7]) schedules with safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses. Expansion cohorts of approximately 20 patients each explored AZD5363 activity in PIK3CA-mutant breast and gynecologic cancers.

Results: Maximum tolerated doses were 320 mg, 480 mg and 640 mg for continuous (n=47), 4/7 (n=21) and 2/7 (n=22) schedules, respectively. Dose-limiting toxicities were rash and diarrhea for continuous, hyperglycemia for 2/7, and none for 4/7. Common adverse events were diarrhea (78%) and nausea (49%) and, for CTCAE grade ?3 events, hyperglycemia (20%). The recommended Phase 2 dose (480 mg bid, 4/7 intermittent) was assessed in PIK3CA-mutant breast and gynecologic expansion cohorts: 46% and 56% of patients, respectively, showed a reduction in tumor size, with RECIST responses of 4% and 8%. These responses were less than the pre-specified 20% response rate; therefore, the criteria to stop further recruitment to the PIK3CA cohort were met.

Conclusions: At the recommended Phase 2 dose, AZD5363 was well tolerated and achieved plasma levels and robust target modulation in tumors. Proof-of-concept responses were observed in patients with PIK3CA-mutant cancers treated with AZD5363.
