First Time in Human Study of AZD8701 With or Without Durvalumab in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumours

This is a Phase I, First in Human, multicentre, open-label, multiple arm study with dose escalations and expansions at selected doses. Dose-escalation will occur with AZD8701 in monotherapy (Part 1) and in combination with durvalumab (Part 3) in selected participants with HNSCC, TNBC, NSCLC, ccRCC, gastroesophageal cancer, melanoma, cervical cancer, small-cell lung cancer and/or participants with solid tumours who have demonstrated a response to prior PD-(L)1 treatment.

Disease specific expansions will occur with a selected dose of AZD8701 in participants with NSCLC (Part 2) and with a selected dose of AZD8701 and durvalumab in participants with TNBC and clear cell RCC (Part 4).

Inclusion criteria

The study is comprised of 2 main parts Monotherapy (AZD8701) and Combined Therapy (AZD8701 and Durvalumab).

Inclusion criteria

Dose escalation stages:

• Histological or cytological confirmation of a solid, malignant tumour including HNSCC, TNBC, NSCLC, ccRCC, gastroesophageal cancer, melanoma, cervical cancer, SCLC, and/or participants with other solid tumours who have demonstrated a response to prior anti-PD-(L)1 treatment
• Participant with progressive disease that is refractory to standard therapies or for which no standard therapies exist and a clinical trial is the best option for next treatment based on prior response and/or tolerability to standard of care

Inclusion criteria

Dose Expansions:

Non Small Lung Cancer Participants who have received prior PD(L)1 treatment. Clear Cell Renal Cancer Participants who have not received prior PD(L)1 treatment.

Triple negative Breast Cancer participants who have who have not received prior PD(L)1 treatment.

• Participants who have received prior anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA-4:

• Must not have experienced a toxicity that led to permanent discontinuation of prior immunotherapy.
• All AEs while receiving prior immunotherapy must have completely resolved or resolved to baseline
• Must not have experienced a ≥ Grade 3 imAE or a neurologic or ocular imAE of any grade while receiving prior immunotherapy.
• Must not have required the use of additional immunosuppression other than corticosteroids for the management of an AE
