Brief summary

The main purpose of the study is to establish a safe dose of AZD8055 in patients with mild or moderate liver disease by providing information on any potential side effects this drug may cause and collecting data about how hepatocellular carcinoma responds to the drug.

Interventions

Dose escalation phase: Tablet taken orally, a single dose of AZD8055 on Day 1, followed by twice daily continuous dosing from Day 3 onwards, till discontinuation or withdrawal.Expansion phase: twice daily continuous dosing from Day 1 onwards till discontinuation or withdrawal.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Safety and tolerability (Adverse events, vital signs, ECG, chemistry, haematology, urinalysis, physical examination)Every week for Cycle 1 and 2, every 2 weeks from cycle 3 onwards, every 4 weeks from cycle 7 onwards
Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of AZD8055 following both single and multiple dosingBlood samples on 6 occasions during the first Cycle of the study (28 days)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To make a preliminary assessment of efficacyEvery 4 weeks
To investigate the possible relationship between plasma concentration of AZD8055 concentrations and the extent of liver impairment.During Cycle 1 of the study - blood samples before study treatment and then on Day 1, 3, 10, 17, 24, 30 and then on day 1 of every cycle
Evaluate the change in Phosphorylation levels of certain biomarkers before and after treatment with AZD8055Blood samples x 3 times on Day 1 of the first cycle
To collect and store DNA for future exploratory research that may influence response to AZD8055Blood sample on Day 1 or at any other visit during studyMay not be reported in the CSR
