A Phase 0 Study of AZD1775 in Recurrent GBM Patients

Patients will be administered one dose of AZD1775 prior to surgical resection of their
tumor. There will be 2 portions of this trial, referred to as Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 will
involve a dose escalation strategy where 3 separate doses (100, 200, and 400mg) will be
evaluated. Each dose cohort will involve 4 patients. Surgery, with tissue harvest for
determination of both tissue drug level and biomarker evaluation, will occur at 8 hrs post
drug administration.

Part 2 will determine the potential tumor drug level and PD effects at various time
intervals after drug administration of a single select drug dose. Currently, we are planning
to use a dose (200 mg) that has been deemed safe when used in combination with cytotoxic
therapy. However, if results from Part 1 suggest an alternate dose may be preferable, we
will consider using that alternate dose in Part 2. Dosing will be followed by surgical
resection at 2-4 hrs and at 22-26 hrs post dose.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with 1 prior resection of histologically-diagnosed de novo GBM

2. Patient must have MRI evidence of disease recurrence

3. Patients must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2

4. Patients ≥ 18 years of age

5. Adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function

6. Patients must not have co-morbid condition(s) that, at the opinion of the
investigator, prevent safe surgical treatment

7. Patients must not have active infection or fever > 38.5°C

8. Patients must not be pregnant or nursing

9. Patients must have archival tumor tissue block available for research use

10. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.

11. Patient has voluntarily agreed to participate by giving written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Less than 18 years of age

2. Diagnosis of anything other than first-recurrence GBM

3. GBM tissue from first-resection not available

4. Previous treatment with AZD1775

5. Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements

6. Patient has known hypersensitivity to the components of potential study therapy or
its analogs.

7. Patient has had prescription or non-prescription drugs or other products known to be
metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), or to inhibit or induce CYP3A4, which
cannot be discontinued prior to Day 1 of dosing and withheld throughout the study
until 2 weeks after the last dose of study medication (inhibitors generally for 5
half-lives). Medications of particular concern are the following inhibitors of
CYP3A4: azole antifungals (ketoconazole itraconazole, fluconazole and voriconazole),
macrolide antibiotics (erythromycin, clarithromycin), cimetidine, HIV protease
inhibitors, nefazodone and the following inducers of CYP3A4: phenytoin, barbiturates
and rifampicin. Substrates of CYP3A4 include statins (lovastatin, simvastatin),
midazolam, terfenadine, astemizole, and cisapride. CYP3A4.

8. Patient has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or lab
abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the
patient's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best
interest of the patient to participate.

9. Patient has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with
cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

10. Patient is, at the time of signing informed consent, a regular user (including
"recreational use") of any illicit drugs or had a recent history (within the last
year) of drug or alcohol abuse.

11. Patients expecting to reproduce within the projected duration of the study (estimated
to be 1 year), and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

12. Patient is known to be suffering from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

13. Patient has known history of Hepatitis B or C.

14. Patient has symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion. A patient who is clinically
stable following treatment for these conditions is eligible.

15. Patient has a clinical history suggestive of Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.
