Description

AZD0022 is an experimental drug being studied by AstraZeneca. It is being investigated as a potential treatment for certain types of colorectal cancer that have a specific mutation called KRASG12D. This mutation is found in some colorectal cancers. The drug is taken orally (by mouth). Clinical trials are currently underway to determine the safety, how the drug is processed by the body (pharmacokinetics), and if it has any effect on the cancer (efficacy). These trials are in the early phases (Phase 1 and Phase 1/2a), meaning they primarily focus on safety and finding the right dose. The trials are testing AZD0022 by itself (monotherapy) and in combination with another drug called Cetuximab, which is already used to treat some colorectal cancers. This is a 'first-in-human' study, meaning it's one of the first times the drug is being given to people.

Mechanism of Action

AZD0022 is being studied for its potential to target cancer cells with the KRASG12D mutation. The specific way it works (its molecular target or mechanism of action) is being investigated during these clinical trials. It is designed to be taken orally.

Side Effects

As AZD0022 is an experimental drug in early-phase clinical trials The full range of potential side effects is still being evaluated. Information about side effects from these early trials is not yet widely available. Researchers will carefully monitor participants in the trials to identify and assess any side effects that occur.

Not all side effects are listed. Side effects vary by individual. Always consult your oncologist.
