AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adult men with metastatic prostate cancer that keeps growing even though testosterone is lowered by surgery or medicine.
- Age
- 18 years or older.
- Sex
- Men only (male as assigned at birth, all gender identities).
- Disease stage
- Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate that is castration-resistant, with disease progression within 6 months before screening. PSA at screening of at least 1 ng/mL.
- Earlier treatment
- Must be castrated by surgery or medicine, with testosterone of 50 ng/dL or lower, and stay on LHRH therapy if not surgically castrated. Earlier anti-cancer treatment requirements are set in the study protocol. PARP inhibitors or checkpoint inhibitors may have been used in Part B.
- Biomarker or test result
- A fresh or archival prostate tumor biopsy sample is required. PSA of at least 1 ng/mL at screening.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Serious heart rhythm or heart function problems
- Another cancer in the past 2 years, apart from treated cancers with low risk of coming back
- Organ or stem cell transplant, past or planned
- Autoimmune or inflammatory disease in the past 3 years
- Uncontrolled hepatitis B or C, or HIV that is not well controlled

- Part A: Module 1 and Module 2:; Part A: Module 1 and Module 2 prior anti-cancer treatment requirements as stated in study protocol; Pharmacodynamic backfill cohort(s) only: lesion amenable for biopsy and be willing to undergo biopsy, distinct from any target lesion used in the RECIST v1.1 evaluation, unless there are no other lesions available for biopsy
- Part B: Module 1 and Module 2:; Part B: Module 1 and Module 2 prior anti-cancer treatment requirements as stated in study protocol; Participants may have received PARP inhibitors or checkpoint inhibitors per local treatment guidelines; Sampling Requirements as stated in study protocol
- ECOG PS score of 0 or 1
- Minimum life expectancy of > 12 weeks
- Adequate hematological, renal, bone marrow, and liver function as documented in the protocol
- Body weight ≥ 35 kg
- Male, as assigned at birth, inclusive of all gender identities
- Contraceptive use by participants or participant partners as documented in the protocol and consistent with local regulations
Who cannot take part
- History of another primary malignancy except for malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease (≥ 2 years) before the first dose of study intervention and of low potential risk for recurrence
- Unresolved toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy of CTCAE Grade ≥ 2 (exceptions listed in protocol)
- History of Grade ≥ 3 CRS or Grade ≥ 2 ICANS based on ASTCT criteria with prior therapy. CRS must be resolved prior to screening
- Previous history of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/ macrophage activation syndrome
- Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (examples in protocol) within the past 3 years prior to the start of treatment or requiring permanent immunosuppressive therapy
- Spinal cord compression unless asymptomatic and treated and stable and not requiring continuous corticosteroids at a dose of > 10 mg prednisone/day or equivalent
- Radiation therapy within 4 weeks of first dose of study intervention (or local or focal radiotherapy within 2 weeks of first dose)
- Prior anti-cancer drug exposure requirement as stated in study protocol
- Previous anti-cancer treatment requirements as stated in study protocol
- Systemic corticosteroids at doses exceeding 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent < 7 days prior to first dose
- Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks prior to first dose
- Receipt of the last dose of anti-cancer therapy or participation in another clinical study with last dose administered in the last 21 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter; CAR-T cell therapy within the last 6 months prior to enrolment on this study
- Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study intervention or receipt of COVID-19 vaccination within 72 hours prior to the first dose of study intervention
- Previous enrolment in the present study
- Any evidence of diseases (such as severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases) which in the Investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the participant to participate in the study
- Cardiac arrhythmias (such as multifocal premature ventricular contractions, bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia), which are symptomatic or require treatment unless controlled by pacemaker; symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation despite treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia
- History of, or planned organ or allogeneic stem cell transplantation
- Active or uncontrolled hepatitis B or C virus infection (exceptions listed in the protocol)
- Known HIV infection that is not well controlled (definition for HIV infection that is well controlled is listed in protocol)
- Participants with a known hypersensitivity to AZD6621 or any of its excipients
- One or more of the following:; Mean resting corrected QT interval > 470 ms,; History of QT prolongation associated with other medications that required discontinuation of that medication, or any current concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval and cause Torsades de Pointes; Congenital long QT syndrome, family history of long QT syndrome, or unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in first degree relatives; Inadequate cardiac function of LVEF < 50% on screening cardiac MUGA or ECHO
- CNS pathology (examples in protocol)
- Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This study is being conducted to learn more about the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of an experimental treatment for metastatic prostate cancer called AZD6621. The study is split into different modules which will look at AZD6621 delivered by different methods. The study is also further split into 2 parts, Part A which will test different dose levels of AZD6621 to determine which doses are the best in terms of safety and side effects (dose escalation), and Part B will further test at least two AZD6621 doses in a larger group of participants (dose expansion).
The 4 groups in the trial
- Module 1 - Part A (Dose Escalation)Treatment being tested
AZD6621 Monotherapy - Administration route 1
Treatment: AZD6621
- Module 2 - Part A (Dose Escalation)Treatment being tested
AZD6621 Monotherapy - Administration route 2
Treatment: AZD6621
- Module 1/2 - Part B1 (Dose Expansion)Treatment being tested
AZD6621 Monotherapy - Administration route 1 (Module 1) or administration route 2 (Module 2) at Recommended Dose for Expansion 1 (RDE1)
Treatment: AZD6621
- Module 1/2 - Part B2 (Dose Expansion)Treatment being tested
AZD6621 Monotherapy - Administration route 1 (Module 1) or administration route 2 (Module 2) at Recommended Dose for Expansion 2 (RDE2)
Treatment: AZD6621
