  • Molecular Target(s): AKT, MTOR, PI3K
Ask Us About This Trial

Mechanism of Action

Capivasertib binds to and inhibits all AKT isoforms.  Inhibition of AKT prevents the phosphorylation of AKT substrates that mediate cellular processes, such as cell division, apoptosis, and glucose and fatty acid metabolism.  A wide range of solid and hematological malignancies show dysregulated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling due to mutations in multiple signaling components.

Purpose

n this study, the sponsor and investigators want to learn:

  • The effects of Capivasertib (good and bad) alone and in combination with Midazolam
  • How much of Capivasertib is absorbed into the blood and how fast it is removed alone and in combination with Midazolam
  • How Capivasertib is acting on your body
Inclusion Criteria
  1. Patient must be at least 18 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent

Patients who do not harbour any of these mutations (or where the mutation status is unknown) are recommended receive capivasertib in addition to standard of care treatment in Part B, at the Investigator’s discretion.
