About this study

This is a first in-human study of AZD8421 administered to participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AZD8421 alone and in combination with selected targeted anti-cancer drugs.

AZD8421 monotherapy (M1) will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AZD8421 as monotherapy to identify a recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) in participants with ER+ HER2- advanced breast cancer previously treated with a CDK4/6i (Parts A and B) and participants with metastatic high-grade serous ovarian cancer previously treated with a platinum-based chemotherapy in the metastatic setting (Part B).

AZD8421 combination therapy (M2) will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of different formulations of AZD8421 in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (one or more of abemaciclib, ribociclib and palbociclib) and camizestrant (next generation oral SERD; referred to throughout as 'camizestrant') in participants with ER+ HER2- advanced breast cancer previously treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.

Inclusion criteria

  • Female participants only, aged 18 or above

  • Metastatic or locoregionally recurrent disease and radiological or objective evidence of progression on or after the last systemic therapy prior to starting IMP.
  • ECOG/WHO performance status 0 to 1, and a minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks.

Exclusion criteria

  • Intervention with any of the following:
  • Any cytotoxic chemotherapy, investigational agents, or other anti-cancer drugs for the treatment of advanced cancer from a previous treatment regimen or clinical study within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of the first dose of IMP (21 days for myelosuppressive therapies) other than GnRHa (eg, goserelin) and bone-stabilizing agents (eg, zoledronic acid, denosumab).
  • Any prescription or non-prescription drugs or other products, including herbal products, known to be moderate or strong inhibitors/inducers of CYP3A4/5 which cannot be discontinued prior to first dose of IMP and withheld throughout the study until 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
