In plain English
This study is testing a drug called AZD2962 in people with blood cancers. AZD2962 blocks a protein in the body called IRAK4, which is involved in inflammation. The study is for people whose disease has come back or has not responded to treatment.
Who can take part
- People with relapsed or refractory myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or a type of leukaemia called dysplastic CMML, with fewer than 20% blast cells in the blood or bone marrow, who have had at least one previous treatment or have run out of available options
- Diagnosis confirmed using the WHO 2016 classification of myeloid neoplasms
- Fairly well in terms of daily activity (ECOG performance status of 2 or less)
- Disease is causing symptoms and needs treatment that can be measured
- Willing to give a bone marrow sample at the start
- Using contraception as required by the study rules and local regulations
- Women who could become pregnant must have a negative pregnancy test at screening
Who may not be able to
- Previous treatment with IRAK inhibitors or drugs that block the inflammasome pathway
- Any cancer treatment (except hydroxyurea) in the 15 days before the first dose
- Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor medicines in the 15 days before the first dose
- Major surgery in the 28 days before the first dose, or still recovering from surgery
- Drugs known to prolong the QT interval of the heart (with a known risk of a dangerous heart rhythm problem) in the 15 days before the first dose
- Immunosuppressive medicines (including graft-versus-host disease prevention) in the 28 days before the first dose, or steroid tablets above 10 mg prednisone a day in the 15 days before
- Live vaccines in the 28 days before the first dose
- Currently having a major bleeding event
- Any other illness or test result that would make taking part unsafe or unsuitable
- A long QT interval on heart tests (over 450 ms, or over 470 ms with bundle branch block)
- Bleeding in the brain in the 6 months before the first dose
- Active gut disease or other condition that would affect how the body handles the oral treatment
- A previous non-blood cancer (with some exceptions)
- Ongoing side effects from earlier cancer treatment worse than grade 2 (with some exceptions)
- Taking part in another clinical study at the same time (with some exceptions)
- Known allergic reaction to the study drug or its ingredients
What taking part involves
- • Taking an oral (by mouth) study drug called AZD2962, which blocks a body protein called IRAK4
- • Providing a bone marrow sample at the start of the study

About This Trial
The purpose of the study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of AZD2962, an Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase 4 (IRAK4) inhibitor, as monotherapy and in combination with other agents in participants with haematologic neoplasms.
More detail
This is a modular study. In Module 1, the study will begin with a dose escalation of AZD2962 monotherapy in participants with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and dysplastic chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Module 1 of the study will comprise of: 1. A Screening Period of maximum 21 days. 2. Treatment period with 28-day cycles where each patient will receive an oral dose of AZD2962 once daily, starting on Day 1, and will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal. 3. Safety Follow-up period after 30 days after last dose.
