Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients will be recruited to one of two cohorts based on the results of the pre-screening tissue testing:
Cohort 1: Cyclin E1 over-expressed and amplified; or
Cohort 2: Cyclin E1 over-expressed and non-amplified
Cohort 3: Cyclin E1 over-expressed treated with ceralasertib

Cohort 1 & 2: Patients will receive 300mg of adavosertib in the form of a daily oral tablet to be taken on Days 1-5 and then Days 8-12 of each 21-day cycle, for a maximum duration of 24 months (based on clinical response at the discretion of the investigator). Adherence to the intervention is recorded through to use of patient diaries that are to be brought to each of the patient's clinic visits (every 21 days while receiving adavosertib) along with any unused drug tablets remaining for that cycle also being brought to clinic.

Cohort 3: Ceralasertib will be administered orally 160 mg twice daily, starting on Day 1 until Day 14, in each 28 day treatment cycle, for a maximum duration of 24 months (based on clinical response at the discretion of the investigator). Adherence to the intervention is recorded through to use of patient diaries that are to be brought to each of the patient's clinic visits along with any unused drug tablets remaining for that cycle also being brought to clinic.

Statistical methods / analysis
Cohort 1 & 2:
Simon's two-stage design (Simon, 1989) will be implemented separately for each cohort: CCNE1 over-expressed and amplified and CCNE1 over-expressed and non-amplified. The null hypothesis that the true clinical benefit rate is 5% will be tested against a one-sided alternative. In the first stage, 10 patients will be accrued to each cohort. If there are no patients with clinical benefit in these 10 patients, no further patients will be recruited to that cohort. Otherwise, 19 additional patients will be accrued for that cohort for a total of 29. This design yields a type I error rate of 0.05 and power of 0.8 when the true clinical benefit rate is 20%.
A drop-out rate of up to 10% is expected; therefore, we aim to recruit a total of 32 patients in each cohort.
An additional 32 patients will be recruited to the non-amplified cohort (i.e. 64 non-amplified and 32 amplified patients will be recruited in total).

Cohort 3:
An optimal Simon's two-stage design (Simon, 1989) will be implemented for Cohort 3 – ceralasertib treated patients. The null hypothesis that the true 16 week overall response rate is 5% will be tested against a one-sided alternative hypothesis. In the first stage, 10 patients will be accrued. If there are no responders in these 10 patients evaluable for 16 week overall response rate, no further patients will be recruited to that cohort. Otherwise, 19 additional patients will be accrued for that cohort for a total of 29. This design yields a type I error rate of 0.05 and power of 0.8 when the true overall response rate is 20%.
