A Study of AZD0486 Monotherapy or in Combination With Other Anti-Cancer Agents for Mature B-Cell Malignancies
This research study is looking at a new medicine called surovatamig as a possible treatment for various B-cell blood cancers, including certain types of leukaemia (like Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia) and lymphoma (like Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, Mantle-cell Lymphoma, and Large B-cell Lymphoma). The study aims to find out if surovatamig is safe and how well it works, both when given on its own and when combined with other well-known cancer drugs. This is an early-stage trial, meaning researchers are cautiously exploring its potential to help patients with these conditions.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This study is exploring a new medication called surovatamig, which was previously known as AZD0486. It's designed to treat certain blood cancers that affect B-cells, a type of white blood cell. These cancers include Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL), Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL), Mantle-cell Lymphoma (MCL), and Large B-cell Lymphoma (LBCL), as well as other B-cell non-Hodgkin Lymphomas. The main goal is to understand how safe surovatamig is and how well it works, either by itself or when given along with other standard cancer treatments.
Researchers are conducting this study in different groups, or 'substudies,' each focusing on a specific type of B-cell cancer. For example, one substudy looks at patients with CLL or SLL that has come back or not responded to previous treatments. Another substudy focuses on Mantle-cell Lymphoma, while a third is for Large B-cell Lymphoma or other B-cell non-Hodgkin Lymphomas. This approach allows the researchers to study the new drug's effects more carefully in different patient groups.
Taking part in the study would involve three main stages: a screening period to check if you're suitable, a treatment period where you would receive the medication, and then a follow-up period to monitor your health and the treatment's long-term effects. This research is important because it could lead to new treatment options for people living with these challenging blood cancers.
Key takeaways
- This study is testing a new drug, surovatamig, for certain blood cancers.
- It's for specific types of leukaemia and lymphoma affecting B-cells.
- Researchers want to see if surovatamig is safe and effective, alone or with other drugs.
- Participation involves screening, treatment, and follow-up periods.
- You would receive close medical monitoring throughout the study.
- You can withdraw from the study at any time.
Who may be eligible?
To be considered for this study, you would generally need to be an adult over 18 years old. Your overall health and ability to perform daily activities, as assessed by a doctor, would need to be in a certain range (known as an ECOG score of 0 to 2). If you are of childbearing potential, you would need to use contraception during and for a period after the study treatment. If you have previously received treatment that targets a protein called CD19, doctors would need to confirm your cancer cells still have CD19 on their surface.
Beyond these general guidelines, each group (substudy) within this research has its own specific requirements. For example, if you have CLL or SLL, your doctor would need to confirm that you require treatment based on specific criteria, or that your lymphoma has a measurable size. You might also need to have received a certain number of previous cancer treatments. For those with Mantle-cell Lymphoma, your diagnosis would need to be confirmed, and the cancer would need to be at a certain stage with measurable sites and you would have had previous treatments.
If you have Large B-cell Lymphoma, you would need to be no older than 79 years old, have a healthy heart function, and your lymphoma would need to be measurable. The study is particularly interested in those with newly diagnosed or advanced disease that has come back or not responded to earlier treatments. However, certain conditions would stop you from taking part, such as having lymphoma in your brain or spinal cord, or having had certain types of surgery very recently.
- Are you an adult aged 18 or older?
- Do you have a type of B-cell blood cancer mentioned (CLL, SLL, MCL, LBCL, other B-NHL)?
- Are you able to use contraception if needed?
- Can you manage daily activities without too much difficulty (as assessed by a doctor)?
- Have you discussed your condition and previous treatments with your doctor?
- Do you not have lymphoma affecting your brain or spinal cord?
This is a guide only — the research team will confirm whether you can take part.
What does participation involve?
If you join this study, your involvement would be divided into three main parts. First, there's a 'screening period' which lasts up to 28 days. During this time, you'll have various tests and evaluations to check if you meet all the requirements for taking part.
Next is the 'treatment period,' where you would receive the study medication, surovatamig, either on its own or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs. The team would carefully monitor your health and how you respond to the treatment. The number of visits and specific assessments (like blood tests, scans, and physical exams) will depend on which treatment group you are in and will be explained in detail by the study team.
Finally, there's a 'follow-up period' after your treatment ends. This is to keep an eye on your health and check for any long-term effects of the treatment. The total duration of your participation can vary, but the study team will provide you with a clear timeline. You would also need to adhere to specific contraception requirements during and for several months after treatment.

Common questions
What is surovatamig, and how does it work?
Surovatamig is a new investigational drug being tested to treat specific blood cancers called B-cell malignancies. The study aims to understand how it works and its effects.
What are B-cell blood cancers?
B-cell blood cancers are a group of cancers that affect B-cells, which are a type of white blood cell in your immune system. Examples include certain types of leukaemia and lymphoma.
Will I definitely receive surovatamig?
If you qualify and join the study, you will receive surovatamig, either by itself or alongside other standard anti-cancer medications, depending on your specific situation within the trial.
How long will I be in the study?
Your participation involves a screening period (up to 28 days), a treatment period, and a follow-up period. The exact total length will vary depending on your individual response and which part of the study you are in.
Can I leave the study at any time?
Yes, you have the right to withdraw from the study at any point, for any reason, without this affecting your ongoing medical care.
