Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to entry to the study or minor surgery within 2 weeks of entry into the study and from which the patient has not yet recovered 9.Treatment with warfarin. Patients on warfarin for DVT/PE can be converted to LMWH. 10.Potent and moderate inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4/5 if taken within the stated washout periods (see protocol for details) 11.Potent and moderate inhibitors and inducers of CYP2C8 if taken within the stated washout periods (see protocol for details) 12. At high medical risk because of non-malignant systemic disease including active uncontrolled infection e.g. interstitial lung disease, severe hepatic impairment, uncontrolled chronic renal disease 13.Known to be serologically positive for hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 14.Patients who have experienced any of the following procedures or conditions currently or in the preceding 12 months: - coronary artery bypass graft - angioplasty - vascular stent - myocardial infarction (MI) - uncontrolled angina pectoris - congestive heart failure NYHA Grade 2 - ventricular arrhythmias requiring continuous therapy - supraventricular arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, which are uncontrolled - Torsades de Pointes - haemorrhagic or thrombotic stroke, including transient ischaemic attacks or any other central nervous system bleeding 15.Resting ECG with measurable QTc interval of >470ms msec at 2 or more time points within a 24 hour period. 16.Concomitant medications known to prolong QT interval, or with factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events (such as heart failure, hypokalaemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome), or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age 17.Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (LVEF outside institutional range of normal) by MUGA or Echocardiogram. 18.Current malignancies of other types, with the exception of adequately treated cone-biopsied in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri and basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Cancer survivors, who have undergone potentially curative therapy for a prior malignancy, have no evidence of that disease for three years or more and are deemed at negligible risk for recurrence, are eligible for the trial. 19.Prior bone marrow transplant or have had extensive radiotherapy to greater than 25% of bone marrow within eight weeks of starting trial 20.Patients participating in or planning to participate in another interventional clinical trial.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
To establish the maximum tolerated dose of AZD2014 in combination with paclitaxel of an intermittent and BD once weekly dosing schedule in combination in patients with solid tumours by determining a dose at which no more than one patient out of up to six patients at the same dose level experience a probable drug-related dose limiting toxicity. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of AZD2014 in combination with paclitaxel over the first cycle (49 days )of treatment. A safety review meeting will be carried out after recruitment of each dosing cohort of 3 patients throughout the study. In addition, there will be forthnightly safety meetings throughout the study. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Determining the PK parameters for AZD2014 and paclitaxel derived from determining their plasma concentrations using validated assays. Determining the pAkt/Akt, pGSKbeta/TGSKbeta3 and pS6 kinase/S6 kinase ratios in platelet-rich plasma and tumour biopsies pre and post administration of AZD2014 in combination with paclitaxel and apoptosis markers (m30 and m65). Determining disease response by RECIST criteria version 1.1, GCIC CA125 criteria and change in tumour size. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Safety and tolerability of combination treatment will be assessed by the Safety Review Committee and PK/PD data will be reviewed as part of that. Response assessment will be carried out for patients that have received at least 1 cycles of treatment and have a baseline disease assessment. A status of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) will be confirmed by repeat measurements performed no less than four weeks after the response criteria are met. |
