AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed malignant advanced solid tumour, which is refractory to standard therapies (except Group 8 patients who must not be platinum refractory) or for which no suitable effective standard therapy exists * Patients must have adequate organ and bone marrow function measured within 7 days prior to administration of study treatment * Female patients must have evidence of non-child bearing status: negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days of study treatment for women of child bearing, or postmenopausal status Exclusion Criteria: * Patients receiving chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons) or any other anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks of the last dose prior to study entry. Patients may continue the use of biphosphonates for bone metastases and corticosteroids * Patients with symptomatic uncontrolled brain metastases * Major surgery within 2 weeks of starting study and patients must have recovered from any effects of any major surgery * Patients who are platinum refractory (Group 8 only) * Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukaemia (Group 8 only).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

PK Phase Primary Outcome: To determine the comparative bioavailability of a new tablet formulation of AZD2281 compared to the existing capsule formulation

Timeframe: Blood samples (12) will be taken at pre-defined intervals following dosing of a single capsule and a single tablet dose

Continued Supply Phase: To enable patients to continue to receive treatment with AZD2281. Safety and tolerability data will be collected to further determine the safety and tolerability of the capsule formulation of AZD2281 in these patients

Timeframe: every 28 days

Continued Supply Expansion Phase: To compare the safety and tolerability of the tablet and capsule formulation of AZD2281 in all patients: Safety, AEs, Physical Exam, vital signs

Timeframe: at every visit

Dose Escalation Phase of continued supply expansion: To determine safety & tolerability of higher than 200mg bid (to 400mg) of tablet & compare safety & tolerability profile of tablet with 400mg capsule

Timeframe: at every visit

Randomised tablet formulation continued supply expansion phase (Group 8): To determine the safety and tolerability profile of selected tablet dose schedules of the melt-extrusion (tablet) formulation.

Timeframe: at every visit
