Clinical Trials

Multiple Phase I clinical trials have evaluated the monocarboxylate transporter inhibitor AZD3965 to establish its safety, dosage, and early therapeutic potential in patients with advanced malignancies, including adult solid tumors, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and Burkitt lymphoma. Sponsored by Cancer Research UK in collaboration with AstraZeneca, these studies aimed to define key tolerability parameters. All clinical trials for this compound have completed recruitment.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

AZD3965 selectively binds to monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) with a binding affinity of 1.6 nM, effectively blocking transmembrane lactate transport and disrupting glycolytic flux alongside intracellular pH homeostasis in cancer cells. This metabolic inhibition impairs cell proliferation and induces apoptosis, offering potential anti-tumor efficacy against MCT1-dependent malignancies such as adult solid tumors, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and Burkitt lymphoma.
