AstraZeneca is conducting a Phase I clinical study titled A Phase I, Open-Label, Multi-center Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of AZD6244 (ARRY-142886). The study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AZD6244, an oral drug, in combination with standard chemotherapies for patients with advanced solid tumors. This research is significant as it seeks to establish the highest tolerated dose and understand the drug’s pharmacokinetics.

The intervention involves AZD6244 administered twice daily in combination with various chemotherapies such as Docetaxel, Dacarbazine, Erlotinib, and Temsirolimus. These combinations are intended to enhance treatment efficacy for advanced solid tumors.

The study follows a non-randomized, parallel intervention model without masking. Its primary purpose is treatment-focused, aiming to determine the optimal dosing and safety profile of the drug combinations.

Key dates for the study include its start on December 14, 2007, with the latest update submitted on August 13, 2025. These dates highlight the long-term commitment to understanding the treatment’s effects and ensuring comprehensive data collection.

The market implications of this study could be significant for AstraZeneca’s stock performance. Positive outcomes may boost investor confidence and position AstraZeneca competitively within the oncology sector. As the study progresses, it could influence market dynamics and investor sentiment, especially if the results show promising advancements over competitors.

The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
