Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults and adolescents aged 15 and older with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma who have received at least three prior lines of therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-hematologic malignancies or those who have not previously received multiple lines of therapy may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of AZD3470, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other anticancer agents, for patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. It follows a modular design, starting with a dose escalation phase focused on relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), and may expand to include additional cohorts based on emerging data. Participants will be monitored for their response to treatment and any side effects experienced during the study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat hematologic malignancies.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches in targeting hematologic malignancies, but the specific use of AZD3470 is novel.
