Phase Ib Study AZD1775 in Combination With Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Adult Asian Patients With Solid Tumours

AZD1775 is a highly selective, adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) competitive, small-molecule inhibitor of the WEE1 kinase that sensitizes tumour cells to cytotoxic agents and is being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumours and p53 pathway deficient malignancies. Gemcitabine is a nucleoside analog used as chemotherapy.

Paclitaxel is a mitotic inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy ; it and docetaxel represent the taxane family of drugs.

Carboplatin is a chemotherapy drug used against some forms of cancer (mainly ovarian carcinoma, lung, head and neck cancers as well as endometrial, esophageal, bladder, breast and cervical; central nervous system or germ cell tumors; osteogenic sarcoma, and as preparation for a stem cell or bone marrow transplant.).
