PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the objective response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors
(RECIST) 1.1 criteria of adavosertib (AZD1775) in advanced solid tumor malignancies other
than clear cell renal cell carcinoma with evidence of pathogenic loss of SETD2 using
next-generation sequencing panel.
II. To determine the objective response rate by RECIST 1.1 criteria of AZD1775 in clear cell
renal cell carcinoma with evidence of loss of SETD2 using next-generation sequencing panel.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the clinical benefit rate and duration of response of AZD1775 in
SETD2-deficient tumors other than clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
II. To determine the clinical benefit rate and duration of response of AZD1775 in
SETD2-deficient clear cell renal cell carcinoma subgroup.
III. To characterize the safety profile of AZD1775. IV. To determine whether H3K36me3
expression by immunohistochemical assay is associated with clinical outcomes.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive adavosertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5 and 8-12. Cycles repeat
every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Cohort A: Histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor
malignancy other than clear cell renal cell carcinoma with progression on at least one
prior systemic therapy and presence of pathogenic loss of SETD2 detected in tumor
tissue detected using a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified next
generation sequencing panel (e.g. UCSF500, FoundationOne)
- Cohort B: Patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic clear
cell renal cell carcinoma (with clear cell component on pathology), who have been
treated with at least one prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic
disease, including either tyrosine kinase inhibitor and/or immune checkpoint
inhibitor, with evidence of SETD2 mutation on CLIA-certified next generation
sequencing panel
- All next generation sequencing (NGS) sequencing reports will be reviewed by the
University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) Molecular Tumor Board to verify
pathogenicity of SETD2 mutation. Each NGS report will be redacted for Protected
Health Information (PHI) prior to submission from investigational site to UCSF
MTB.

consent prior to any study procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Use of anti-cancer treatment drug =< 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter)
prior to the first dose of AZD1775; for drugs for which 5 half-lives is =< 21 days, a
minimum of 10 days between termination of the prior treatment and administration of
AZD1775 treatment is required
- Previous radiation therapy completed =< 7 days prior to the start of study drugs
- Major surgical procedures =< 28 days of beginning study treatment, or minor surgical
procedures =< 7 days; no waiting period required following port-a-cath or other
central venous access placement
- Grade > 1 toxicity from prior therapy (except alopecia or anorexia)
- Patient has an inability to swallow oral medications; Note: patient may not have a
percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube or be receiving total parenteral
nutrition (TPN)
- No other anticancer-therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal anti-cancer
therapy, radiotherapy [except for palliative local radiotherapy]), biological therapy
or other novel agent is to be permitted while the patient is receiving study
medication; patients on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue
treatment for more than 6 months are allowed entry into the study and may continue at
the discretion of the investigator
- Known malignant central nervous system (CNS) disease other than neurologically stable,
treated brain metastases - defined as metastasis having no evidence of progression or
hemorrhage for at least 2 weeks after treatment; must be off any systemic
corticosteroids for the treatment of brain metastases for at least 14 days prior to
enrollment; patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical
trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive
neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other
adverse events
- Any known hypersensitivity or contraindication to the components of the study drug
AZD1775
- Patient has had prescription or non-prescription drugs or other products known to be

2 weeks prior to Day 1 of dosing and withheld throughout the study until 2 weeks after
the last dose of study drug; co-administration of aprepitant or fosaprepitant during
this study is prohibited; the use of sensitive substrates of CYP3A4, such as
atorvastatin, simvastatin and lovastatin, is also prohibited in this study;
transporter studies (in vitro) have shown that AZD1775 is an inhibitor of breast
cancer resistance protein (BCRP); herbal preparations are not allowed throughout the
study; these herbal medications include but are not limited to: St. John's wort, kava,

- If baseline QTc on screening ECG is > 450 ms for males or > 470 ms for females:
- Check potassium and magnesium serum levels
- Correct any identified hypokalemia and/or hypomagnesemia and repeat ECG to
confirm QTcF interval
- For patients with baseline heart rate (HR) < 60 bpm or > 100 bpm, manual
measurement of QT interval by cardiologist is required, with Fridericia
correction applied to that manual measurement to determine the QTc for
eligibility consideration

required

AZD1775 is WEE1 inhibitor with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects;
because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants
secondary to treatment of the mother with AZD1775, breastfeeding should be
discontinued if the mother is treated with AZD1775
- Prior treatment with WEE1 inhibitor
