Advanced Solid Tumours | Drug: Ceralasertib | Phase 2 |
Current module of the study will consist of 2 cohorts as follows:
Cohort A (Advanced Solid Tumours [AST]): A total of ~25 molecularly eligible and centrally confirmed participants dosed at ceralasertib 160 mg twice daily will be enrolled into this cohort.
Cohort B (Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer [mCRPC]): A total of ~27 molecularly eligible and centrally confirmed participants dosed at ceralasertib 160 mg twice daily will be enrolled into Cohort B. Unfavourable circulating tumour cells (CTC) count requirement may be introduced for all participants to ensure an adequate (approximately ≥ 50%) number of participants with CTC count ≥ 5/7.5 mL blood.
The screening will have 2 parts, Part 1 and Part 2, which apply for both Cohort A and Cohort B.

- Cohort A: Objective response rate (ORR) by response evaluation ceiteria in solid tumours (RECIST) version 1.1 [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have at least one response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) prior to any evidence of progression (as defined by response evaluation criteria in solid tumours [RECIST] 1.1) that is confirmed at least 4 weeks later.
- Cohort B: Composite response rate by RECIST version 1.1 [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]Composite response rate is defined as the investigator assessed radiological response by RECIST 1.1 for soft tissue and visceral lesions and prostate cancer working group 3 (PCWG3) for bone lesions, prostate specific antigen (PSA) decline, and/or circulating tumour cell [CTC] conversion.
- Cohort A: Duration of Radiological response (DoR) by RECIST version 1.1 [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]DoR is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression.
- Cohort A: Progression free survival (PFS) by RECIST version 1.1 [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]PFS is defined as the time from start of study intervention until the date of objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the participant withdraws from therapy or receives another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression.
- Cohort B: ORR by RECIST version 1.1 [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]Radiological ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed response of CR or PR in their soft tissue and visceral lesions assessed by RECIST 1.1 in the absence of bone progression assessed by PCWG3.
- Cohort B: Proportion of participants with confirmed CTC count conversion from unfavourable to favourable [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]Conversion of CTC count is defined as a conversion from unfavourable at baseline (≥ 5/7.5 mL blood) to favourable post-baseline (< 5/7.5 mL blood). The percentage of participants with CTC count conversion based on those with unfavourable CTC at baseline, will be presented for this study.
- Cohort B: Proportion of participants with confirmed prostate specific antigen (PSA) decline ≥ 50% [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]Proportion of participants with a PSA decline of ≥ 50% confirmed by a second consecutive measurement at least 3 weeks later.
- Cohort B: Radiological progression free survival (rPFS) by RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]rPFS is defined as the time from the start of treatment until the date of objective radiographic disease progression or death.
- Cohort B: Duration of radiological response. [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]DoR is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression.
- Cohort A and Cohort B: Best percentage change in tumour size [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to -1) until disease progression or withdrawal of consent (upto approximately 3 years) ]Change in tumour size will be determined. Best percentage change in tumour size is defined as the maximum reduction from baseline or the minimum increase from baseline in the absence of a reduction in the sum of the longest diameters (or the short axis measurements for lymph nodes) of the target lesions.
- Cohort A and B: Number of participants with serious and non-serious adverse events [ Time Frame: From Screening (Day -28 to Day -1) until Safety follow-up (30 days after last dose) (upto approximately 3 years) ]To assess the safety and tolerability profile of ceralasertib.
