Title: A study to assess the safety, tolerability and anti-cancer potential of AZD5363

Full title: Assessment of the safety, tolerability and potential anti-cancer activity of increasing doses of AZD5363 in different treatment schedules

Phase I Trial

Why is this trial being carried out?

AZD5363 is a new drug that blocks an enzyme called protein kinase B (PKB) that is involved in cancer development and in tumours becoming resistant to some important anti-cancer drugs.

This study is to investigate the safety of AZD5363, to identify a suitable dose and treatment schedule and to look at how well the body tolerates the drug.

Who is the trial suitable for?

This study is suitable for patients with advanced solid tumours (e.g. pancreas, lung, bowel) where there are no other standard treatment options. The trial doctors will explain any other requirements to join the trial.

 The trial is open in Manchester and Surrey.
