Trial design
CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Safety, Pharmacokinetic, Therapy, Efficacy, Pharmacodynamic
To investigate the safety and tolerability, as well as the preliminary anti-tumour activity of AZD9793 monotherapy in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumours expressing GPC3
Secondary objectives 1
- To evaluate the preliminary anti-tumour activity and characterise the PK of AZD9793 monotherapy, as well as to determine the immunogenicity of AZD9793 monotherapy and to assess the TME pre- and post-administration of AZD9793 monotherapy

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor
Inclusion criteria 12
- Age ≥ 18 at the time of signing the informed consent
- GPC3 positive tumour as determined by a central laboratory using an analytically validated IHC assay.
- Must have at least one measurable lesion according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance status (ECOG PS): 0-1 at screening
- Predicted life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks.
- Adequate organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days prior to first dose as defined by the protocol.
- Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations, as defined by the protocol.
- Confirmed advanced recurrent and/or metastatic and/or unresectable HCC, which is histopathologically proven based on the criteria established by the World Health Organization.

- Child-Pugh Score class A.
- Previous therapy: Part A: Patients who have received at least one prior line of standard systemic therapy for HCC as per NCCN or other local scientific guidelines and for which a clinical study is the best option for next treatment based on prior response and/or tolerability and/or patient/investigator decision.
- Previous therapy: Part B: Patients must not have received more than 1 prior line of systemic therapy in the advanced recurrent and/or metastatic setting.
Exclusion criteria 15
- Unresolved toxicity from prior anticancer therapy, including irAEs, of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade ≥ 2 except for vitiligo, peripheral neuropathy related to prior anti-cancer therapy, alopecia, endocrine disorders that are controlled with replacement hormone therapy and asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities.

- Requires chronic immunosuppressive therapy (including steroids > 10 mg prednisone/day or equivalent)
- Prior treatment with any therapy that is targeted to GPC3.
- Received radiation within 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment; palliative radiation to reduce the risk of tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) or CRS/neurotoxicity in participants with bulky disease is permitted
- Undergone a major surgical procedure within 14 days to allow adequate healing
- Experienced unacceptable cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or Immune Effector Cell Associated Neurotoxicity (ICANS) following prior T cell engagers (TCE) or chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy.
- Previous history of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) / macrophage activation syndrome (MAS).
