Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include female participants with advanced or relapsed HER2-negative breast cancer or other specified solid tumors who meet the eligibility criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with early-stage cancer or those who do not have the specified genetic mutations 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 evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of AZD9574, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with other anti-cancer agents, for patients with advanced solid malignancies. It is a modular phase I/IIa, multi-centre, open-label study that will enroll approximately 535 participants. The study includes dose-escalation and dose-expansion modules focusing on various types of advanced cancers, particularly those with specific genetic mutations. Participants will be monitored for treatment responses and side effects throughout the study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients with advanced solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies using PARP inhibitors have shown promising results, indicating potential success for this approach.
