About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II, Open-label, Multicentre Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of Tor Kinase Inhibitor (AZD8055) in Asian Patients With Advanced Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and With Mild or Moderate Hepatic Impairment

The main purpose of the study is to establish a safe dose of AZD8055 in patients with mild or moderate liver disease by providing information on any potential side effects this drug may cause and collecting data about how hepatocellular carcinoma responds to the drug.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and tolerability (Adverse events, vital signs, ECG, chemistry, haematology, urinalysis, physical examination)

    Measured: Every week for Cycle 1 and 2, every 2 weeks from cycle 3 onwards, every 4 weeks from cycle 7 onwards

  2. Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of AZD8055 following both single and multiple dosing

    Measured: Blood samples on 6 occasions during the first Cycle of the study (28 days)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To make a preliminary assessment of efficacy

    Measured: Every 4 weeks

  2. To investigate the possible relationship between plasma concentration of AZD8055 concentrations and the extent of liver impairment.

    Measured: During Cycle 1 of the study - blood samples before study treatment and then on Day 1, 3, 10, 17, 24, 30 and then on day 1 of every cycle

  3. Evaluate the change in Phosphorylation levels of certain biomarkers before and after treatment with AZD8055

    Measured: Blood samples x 3 times on Day 1 of the first cycle

  4. To collect and store DNA for future exploratory research that may influence response to AZD8055

    May not be reported in the CSR

    Measured: Blood sample on Day 1 or at any other visit during study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD8055 in people with Cancer and Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by AstraZeneca at 3 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in South Korea, Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and tolerability (Adverse events, vital signs, ECG, chemistry, haematology, urinalysis, physical examination) (time frame: Every week for Cycle 1 and 2, every 2 weeks from cycle 3 onwards, every 4 weeks from cycle 7 onwards). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jul 2012.
