This study assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of first-in-class dual mammalian target rapamycin complex (mTORC)1/mTORC2 inhibitor, AZD8055. Patients with advanced solid malignancies or lymphomas were recruited into this phase I, open-label, dose-escalation AZD8055 starting at 10 mg twice-daily oral dosing (BID). Forty-nine patients received Dose-limiting toxicities reported 40 (n=1), 90 (n=1) 120 (n=3) BID; all grade 3 rises in transaminases, reversible...

Poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) is essential in cellular processing of DNA damage via the base excision repair pathway (BER). The PARP inhibition can be directly cytotoxic to tumour cells and augments anti-tumour effects DNA-damaging agents. This study evaluated optimally tolerated dose olaparib (4-(3--4-fluorophenyl) methyl-1(2H)-one; AZD2281, KU0059436), a potent inhibitor, with dacarbazine assessed safety, toxicity, clinical pharmacokinetics efficacy combination...

Abstract The Australian healthcare sector is a complex mix of government departments, associations, providers, professionals, and consumers. Cybersecurity attacks, which have recently increased, challenge the in many ways; however, best approaches for to manage threat are unclear. This study will report on semi-structured focus group conducted with five representatives from computer security sectors. An analysis this transcript yielded four themes: 1) securing landscape; 2) financial...

Intestinal absorption characteristics of eleven beta-adrenoceptor antagonists were measured by monitoring their disappearance from in-situ intestinal loops in the anaesthetized rat. All have basic pKa values around 9.5 (with exception sotalol) but show a wide range lipophilic character (octanol-water log P -0.79 to 3.65). The results two types behaviour, indicating different mechanisms for 'hydrophilic' and 'lipophilic' antagonists. four most hydrophilic molecules (sotalol, atenolol, nadolol...

As a prelude to combination studies aimed at resistance reversal, this dose-escalation/dose-expansion study investigated the selective Src kinase inhibitor saracatinib (AZD0530) in with carboplatin and/or paclitaxel. Patients advanced solid tumours received once-daily oral tablets either AUC 5 every 3 weeks (q3w), paclitaxel 175 mg m−2 q3w, 80 1 week (q1w), or plus q3w. The primary endpoint was safety/tolerability. A total of 116 patients 125 (N=20), (N=44), 225 (N=40), 250 (N=9), 300 (N=3)....

3004 Background: AZD2014 is a potent, dual mTORC1/mTORC2 inhibitor with clear activity in vivo and vitro experimental models. Methods: This 2-part study consisted of "rolling six" dose escalation (Part A) expansion B) phases. Part A: 3–6 pts per cohort received an oral solution BD starting at 50 mg. A further 6 were treated below the MTD to changes pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers. B: additional dosed MTD, including group ER+/PR+ or HER2+ patients breast cancer. Primary endpoint: safety...

This first-in-man study to determine safety, PK and preliminary efficacy two oral formulations in patients advanced solid tumours (NCT00731263). Another inhibitor, AZD2014, currently being tested clinic. Methods: In an open-label, ascending dose study, cohorts 3 or 6 received single followed 1 week later by continuous, twice-daily dosing.

3048 Background: We previously reported the comparative bioavailability of capsule (CAP) formulation olaparib and more convenient new tablet (TAB) (Molife et al ASCO 2010). subsequently performed two separate dose expansions (DE1 DE2) to explore safety efficacy TAB (NCT00777582). Methods: Patients with breast or ovarian cancer BRCA1/2 mutations, ECOG PS 0–2 adequate organ function were randomized receive: DE1: 200 400 CAP; DE2: 300 TAB, CAP (all mg BID). Endpoints included safety,...

3051 Background: We previously reported the comparative bioavailability of olaparib tablet (TAB) up to 200 mg BID, with initial capsule formulation; gmean AUC 0–T following BID TAB was ~20% lower than 400 (CAP; Molife et al ASCO 2010). Olaparib had an acceptable tolerability profile suggesting further dose escalation might be justified. Methods: Study NCT00777582 amended include a dose-escalation phase, define maximum tolerated (MTD) and safety TAB, 2 expansion phases compare efficacy doses...
