AZD0120

AstraZeneca · Phase 3 active Biologic Under review

AZD0120 is a FGFR1 inhibitor Biologic drug developed by AstraZeneca. It is currently in Phase 3 development for FGFR1-amplified or FGFR1-altered solid tumors. Also known as: GC012F.

AZD0120 is a selective inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) that blocks aberrant signaling in cancer cells dependent on FGFR1 activation.

AZD0120 is a medication being studied in clinical trials for multiple conditions, including multiple myeloma, lupus erythematosus, and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. It is being evaluated in combination with other treatments, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, in a phase I clinical trial.

Likelihood of approval
64.3% vs 58.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2028–2030
Steps remaining: NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: High
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 3 → approval rate +58.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 3 drugs reach approval ~58.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Oncology Phase 3 boost +3.0pp
    Oncology Phase 3 trials have higher approval rates (~61%) than the cross-industry average due to clearer endpoints and FDA oncology pathway.
  • Big-pharma sponsor +3.0pp
    AstraZeneca is a top-20 pharma sponsor — historical approval rates run ~3pp above average due to scale, regulatory experience, and trial-design quality.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)

Mechanism of action

FGFR1 is frequently dysregulated in certain cancers through gene amplification or translocation, driving proliferation and survival. AZD0120 selectively targets FGFR1 to inhibit downstream signaling pathways, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in FGFR1-dependent tumors. This approach is designed to provide clinical benefit in cancers with FGFR1 alterations while minimizing off-target effects.
