ATR Kinase Inhibitor
Adavosertib + Radiation for Esophageal Cancer
Phase 1
Waitlist Available
Led By Eric D Miller
Research Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated
Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment assignment and must have no clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG
Must not have
Patients with congenital long QT syndrome or with a history of Torsades de pointes unless all risk factors contributed to Torsades have been corrected. AZD1775 has not been studied in patients with ventricular arrhythmias or recent myocardial infarction
Pregnant women are excluded from this study because AZD1775 is a WEE1 inhibiting agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with AZD1775, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with AZD1775. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study

Summary
This trial tests a combo of adavosertib and radiation to treat esophageal/gastroesophageal cancer with no available treatment. It may stop growth of tumor cells & radiation kills them to shrink tumors.
Who is the study for?
Adults with inoperable esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer, including squamous cell or adenocarcinoma, that is not eligible for definitive chemoradiation. Participants must have proper liver and kidney function, no severe heart conditions, be able to swallow capsules, and have a life expectancy over 3 months. Pregnant women are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and optimal dosage of Adavosertib combined with radiation therapy on patients with incurable esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancers. The goal is to see if this combination is more effective than radiation alone in stopping tumor growth.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to organ functions influenced by enzymes targeted by Adavosertib, as well as typical risks associated with radiation therapy such as skin irritation and fatigue. Specific side effect profiles will be monitored closely.
