This is a first time in human (FTiH) Phase I/IIa, open-label, multi-centre study of AZD3470 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with MTAP deficiency. The study consists of several study modules, evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of AZD3470 as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-cancer agents.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
AstraZeneca (AZN) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (16/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
