AZD3470 as Monotherapy or in Combination With Anticancer Agent(s) in Participants With Haematologic Malignancies.
This research study is investigating a new medication called AZD3470 for people with certain blood cancers, specifically types of lymphoma. We want to find out if AZD3470 is safe to use and how well people tolerate it. We're also looking at how the drug affects the body and if it can help shrink the cancer. The study will test AZD3470 on its own and in combination with other anti-cancer drugs, like pembrolizumab. It includes different groups of participants, some with Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or not responded to previous treatments, and others with different types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This is an early-stage study, which means it's one of the first times this drug is being tested in humans.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This study is exploring a new drug called AZD3470 for people living with certain blood cancers. These cancers affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Specifically, the study focuses on different types of lymphoma, including Hodgkin Lymphoma and several kinds of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma like Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL).
The main goals of this research are to understand if AZD3470 is safe, what side effects it might cause, and what the best dose is. Researchers also want to see how the drug behaves in the body and if it shows any signs of helping to control or shrink the cancer. The study is divided into different sections, some testing AZD3470 on its own, and others testing it alongside another anti-cancer medicine called pembrolizumab.
This is an early-stage clinical trial (Phase 1/2), which means it's among the first studies of AZD3470 in people. It's a crucial step in understanding whether this new drug could become a future treatment option. The information gathered from participants will help doctors learn more about how AZD3470 works and if it could be beneficial for people with these specific blood cancers.
Key takeaways
- Tests a new drug (AZD3470) for specific blood cancers.
- Aims to check safety, how a new drug works, and its effect on cancer.
- Includes people with Hodgkin and some Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma types.
- Tests the drug alone and with other anti-cancer medicines.
- Is an early-stage study (Phase 1/2) for learning about this new treatment.
- Open to adults and some teenagers (12 and older).
Who may be eligible?
This study is looking for people with certain types of blood cancer, mainly lymphoma. To join, you would generally need to have a confirmed diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma or specific types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, such as PTCL, ALCL, or AITL.
Depending on which part of the study you might join, there are different age requirements. Some parts are for adults aged 18 and over, while one part might include teenagers aged 12 and above, provided they weigh at least 40 kg. You would also need to be able to carry out your daily activities reasonably well and have healthy enough organs, like your kidneys and liver.
For most groups, your cancer would have needed to come back after previous treatments or not have responded well to them. Some parts of the study also require you to have had specific previous treatments. Additionally, doctors will need to be able to take a small sample of your cancer tissue for testing.
- Do I have Hodgkin Lymphoma or a specific type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (PTCL, ALCL, AITL)?
- Has my cancer returned or not responded to previous treatments?
- Am I generally well enough to participate in daily activities?
- Am I aged 18 or over (or 12 and over if I meet weight requirements for certain study parts)?
- Have I had the specific previous treatments required for my cancer type?
- Can doctors get a sample of my cancer tissue for testing?
This is a guide only — the research team will confirm whether you can take part.
What does participation involve?
Taking part in this study would involve regular visits to the clinic for medical check-ups. You would receive the study medication, AZD3470, which is taken by mouth, either on its own or together with another anti-cancer medicine called pembrolizumab. Doctors would monitor you closely for any side effects and to see how the treatment is affecting your cancer. This includes blood tests, physical exams, and possibly scans.
Some parts of the study involve finding the best dose of AZD3470, which means the dose might be increased gradually. You might also be asked to provide a new tissue sample (biopsy) during the study if your doctors think it's needed and possible. The exact number of visits, tests, and the total duration would depend on which part of the study you are in and how you respond to the treatment, but ongoing follow-up would be part of your participation.

Common questions
What is AZD3470?
AZD3470 is a new medication being tested in this study for certain blood cancers. Its purpose is to see if it can help fight cancer cells.
What is a 'blood cancer'?
Blood cancers are diseases that start in the blood-forming tissue, like the bone marrow, or in immune system cells. This study focuses on types of lymphoma.
Will I get paid to be in this study?
Generally, participants in clinical trials are not paid, but some studies may cover travel costs or expenses related to your visits. You should ask the study team about this.
What does 'monotherapy' mean?
'Monotherapy' means that you would be receiving only the new drug, AZD3470, as your cancer treatment in that part of the study, without other cancer medicines.
Is this a new treatment that will cure my cancer?
This is an early-stage study, so it's too soon to say if AZD3470 will cure cancer. The aim is to find out if it's safe and shows promise in treating these conditions.
