Study of AZD2962 tablets alone and with other medications in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and dysplastic chronic myelomonocytic leukemia

1 1

What is this study about?

This study focuses on patients with Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Dysplastic Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia, which are blood disorders affecting the production of blood cells in the bone marrow. The study will test a new medication called AZD2962, which is taken as a film-coated tablet by mouth. This drug works by blocking a protein called IRAK4 that may play a role in these blood disorders.

The main purpose of this research is to understand how safe the medication is and how well patients can tolerate it. The study will evaluate AZD2962 both when given alone and when combined with other treatments. Researchers will also determine the most effective dose of the medication that can be safely given to patients.

During the study, participants will take the medication and undergo regular check-ups to monitor their health. Doctors will track how patients respond to the treatment by examining their blood and bone marrow samples. The study will also measure how long the medication stays in the body and how it affects the blood disorder over time.

1 Initial assessment

Your eligibility for the study will be evaluated based on specific medical criteria.

A bone marrow assessment or biopsy will be required before starting the treatment.

Laboratory tests will check your blood cell counts and organ function, including liver and kidney tests.

2 Treatment initiation

You will receive AZD2962 in the form of film-coated tablets that you will take by mouth.

The medication is designed to treat blood disorders including myelodysplastic syndromes or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for your condition.

3 Monitoring period

Regular medical examinations will track your health status.

Blood tests will be performed to monitor your response to treatment.

Heart monitoring through ECG (electrical heart activity recording) will be conducted.

Any side effects or reactions will be documented and assessed.

4 Response assessment

Your response to the treatment will be evaluated through regular medical check-ups.

Blood tests will track changes in your condition.

The effectiveness of the treatment will be measured by examining how your disease responds.

5 Long-term follow-up

Your health status will continue to be monitored throughout the study period.

The study is expected to continue until February 2028.

Regular assessments will track your long-term response to the treatment.

Who Can Join the Study?

  • Must be at least 18 years old when signing the consent form
  • Must have either:
    Relapsed/refractory MDS (a bone marrow disorder where blood cells don’t develop properly) or
    Relapsed/refractory dysplastic CMML (a blood cell disorder), with less than 20% abnormal cells in blood or bone marrow
    – Must have received at least one previous treatment
  • Must have an ECOG performance status of 2 or better (able to perform most daily activities with some limitations)

Trial locations

AZD2962 is an IRAK4 inhibitor medication being studied for treating blood-related cancers (hematologic neoplasms). This medication works by blocking a specific protein called IRAK4, which plays a role in cell signaling pathways that can contribute to cancer growth. The medication is being tested both on its own (monotherapy) and in combination with other cancer treatments to evaluate how safe it is and how well it works in patients with blood cancers.

Investigated diseases:

Dysplastic chronic myelomonocytic leukemia – A blood cell disorder that affects bone marrow function and blood cell production. The condition causes abnormal white blood cells called monocytes to build up in the blood and bone marrow. It combines features of two blood disorders: myelodysplastic syndrome and myeloproliferative disorder. The disease typically develops slowly over time, leading to decreased production of normal blood cells.

Myelodysplastic syndromes – A group of blood disorders where the bone marrow doesn’t produce enough healthy blood cells. In this condition, immature blood cells fail to develop normally and die in the bone marrow or blood. This leads to low levels of one or more types of blood cells. The condition causes the bone marrow to make blood cells that are both defective and poorly formed.
