The incidence of adverse events (including adverse events detected via laboratory assessment, vital signs and ECG)
Safety and tolerability will be assessed through the incidence of adverse events. Adverse events will include significant findings on vital signs, clinical chemistry/haematology, coagulation parameters and electrocardiograms (ECGs).
Time frame: Throughout the study. Approximately 9 months for most patients.
Assessment of pharmacodynamic biomarker changes
Evaluation of AZD1152 activity in the tumour by assessment of pharmacodynamic biomarker changes which may include, but are not limited to biomarkers of Aurora kinase activity.
Time frame: Biopsies of tumour at baseline and Cycle 1 [at pre-dose, after Screening to Day 1; and between Days 16-19 (preferrably within 24 hours of completing infusions on Day 17 (Part A) and Day 16 (Part B).]
