Study on Ceralasertib Alone and with Durvalumab for Melanoma Resistant to PD-(L)1 Treatment
Sponsor: AstraZeneca
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05061134
This clinical trial is testing the effectiveness and safety of the drug ceralasertib, both on its own and combined with durvalumab, in patients with advanced melanoma that has not responded to previous PD-(L)1 treatments.

Program Overview
The main goal of this study is to see how well ceralasertib works, both by itself and with another drug called durvalumab, in treating patients with advanced melanoma that cannot be surgically removed and has not responded to previous PD-(L)1 treatments. This is an open-label, phase 2 study, meaning both the researchers and participants know what treatment is being given.
Description
This study includes a special part where some participants will have three required tumor biopsies. These biopsies will be taken at different times: before starting the treatment, during treatment with ceralasertib alone, and after stopping ceralasertib. This helps researchers understand how the treatment affects the cancer over time.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body.
- Have a tumor sample available from a previous biopsy and agree to a new biopsy at the start of the study.
- Have received at least one prior immunotherapy treatment, such as anti-PD-(L)1, with or without anti-CTLA-4, for at least 6 weeks, but no more than two different treatments for advanced cancer.
- Have shown cancer progression during treatment with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor, with or without a CTLA-4 inhibitor.
- Have at least 14 days between the last dose of previous cancer treatments and the first dose of the study treatment.
- Have measurable cancer according to specific medical criteria.
- Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months.
- For the biopsy sub-study, agree to provide three tumor biopsies.
Exclusion Criteria
- Have not had any severe side effects that led to stopping previous checkpoint inhibitor treatments permanently.
- Have not had another type of cancer, unless it was treated successfully and has been inactive for at least 3 years.
- Do not have uveal melanoma (a type of eye cancer).
- Have not had severe immune-related side effects from previous immunotherapy, especially affecting the nervous system or eyes.
- Do not have serious heart conditions, such as heart failure or uncontrolled heart rhythm problems, unless controlled by medication or devices.
- Have not had an organ transplant that requires ongoing use of immune-suppressing drugs.
- Have adequate bone marrow, liver, and kidney function.
- Do not have active infections requiring treatment, including hepatitis or COVID-19, unless fully recovered.
