Scientific titleA phase I dose-escalating and safety study of AZD8931 in combination with oxaliplatin and capecitabine chemotherapy in patients with oesophago-gastric adenocarcinoma
Study objectivesAZD8931 blocks a growth pathway that is important in some cancers. In the escalation phase this trial will define the dose of AZD8931 that can safely be given with standard chemotherapy for oesophageal (gullet) cancer. We will then (in the expansion phase) compare the side effects of chemotherapy alone with those of AZD8931 with chemotherapy in 30 people with operable gullet cancer. This will to decide how to run future studies of AZD8931 with chemotherapy. This trial is supported by the Experimental Cancer Medicine Centres - Astrazeneca Combinations Alliance, and by the New Agents committee of Cancer Research UK. It is being run at hospitals in Oxford, Leicester and Belfast. Patients who go on the trial will need to undergo extra tests to check it is safe for them to take part, and to monitor them whilst on treatment.
Ethics approval(s)ref: 12/SC/0090
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedUpper gastro-intestinal cancer
InterventionDose Escalation – In the dose escalation phase of the study patients with metastatic or inoperable disease will be recruited and no surgery is planned. Patients who successfully complete the screening will receive AZD8931 monotherapy for three days (days -3 to -1) [20mg bd in cohort 1, 40 mg bd in cohort 2 and 60 mg bd in cohort 3]. Xelox chemotherapy will be added in on day 4 of AZD8931 treatment AZD8931 tablets will be taken orally, continuously, twice daily. Patients will receive oxaliplatin and capecitabine on day one of every cycle every 21 days. Oxaliplatin will be given at 130 mg/m2 IV in 250-500 ml of 5% glucose over 2 hours. Capecitabine 1250mg/m2/day will be given orally in two divided doses continuously from days 1-21 of each 3 week cycle. In this phase patients will receive a maximum of 8 cycles of daily AZD8931 in combination with Xelox. AZD8931 may be continued following cessation of the Xelox, providing the patient has no evidence of tumour progression and continues to tolerate treatment.

Dose Expansion - In the dose expansion phase of the trial, we propose a randomised component. Patients will receive two cycles of Xelox chemotherapy ± AZD8931 prior to undergoing an oesophago-gastrectomy. Twenty patients will receive Xelox and AZD8931 and 10 patients Xelox alone. The expectation is that this randomisation will allow us to assess any additive toxicity due to the combination of AZD8931 and Xelox over the toxicities associated with the Xelox backbone of chemotherapy alone. AZD8931 monotherapy will be used as maintenance therapy, in patients who were randomised to the combination and who have successful surgery, for a maximum of 12 months starting 6 to 12 weeks after surgery. Patients may therefore receive treatment for 58 weeks over a maximum 18 months period.

Maintenance Phase - To investigate the safety and feasibility of maintaining patients on AZD8931, to reduce the risk of recurrence, patients who have successful surgery will be allowed to continue AZD8931 if they were randomised to the combination, for a maximum of 12 months starting 6 to 12 weeks after surgery.
