About
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of AZD0780 following single and multiple dose administration to healthy subjects with or without elevated Low-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.
This study will consist of two parts (Parts A and B).
56 subjects have been planned for Part A and 141 subjects for Part B. Additional subjects may be included for the optional cohorts depending upon emerging data.
Full description
This is a Phase I, First In Human (FIH), randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, study in healthy male and/or female subjects of non-childbearing potential including healthy subjects of Chinese and Japanese ethnicity performed at multiple centers (up to 4 study centers).
56 subjects have been planned for Part A and 141 subjects for Part B.
-
Part A:
-
A Screening Period of maximum 28 days.
-
Admission to study center (Day -1 or Day -2).
-
A Treatment Period (Day 1 to Day 3) with a single dose of AZD0780 or placebo on Day 1. Subjects will be discharged on Day 3.
-
A Follow-up Visit within 5 to 7 days after the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) dose for all cohorts.
-
An additional Follow-up Visit within 9 to 11 days after the IMP dose from Cohort 3 onwards.
(i) Part A1 - Up to 5 dose cohorts of AZD0780 are planned to be investigated. Depending on the findings, up to 4 additional dose cohorts may be added. Within each cohort, 6 subjects will be randomized to receive AZD0780, and 2 subjects randomized to receive placebo. Dosing for each ascending dose cohort will proceed with 2 subjects in a sentinel sub-cohort such that one subject will be randomized to receive AZD0780, and one subject will be randomized to receive placebo.
-
(ii) Part A2 - The subjects from a chosen cohort in Part A1 will return to the study center no sooner than 9 days after the first dose administration of IMP and will receive AZD0780 or placebo after intake of a high-calorie, high-fat breakfast, to assess the effect of food on the PK of AZD0780.
The subjects will stay at the study center until 48 hours post-dose in both the parts.
• Part B:
- Global Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) cohort - Up to 3 dose cohorts are planned to be investigated. In each cohort, 20 subjects will participate and receive either AZD0780 or placebo, randomized 3:1 for 28 days dosing. Depending on the findings, 3 additional dose levels may be added in up to 3 additional cohorts (up to 20 subjects per cohort).
- Japanese Single and Multiple Ascending Dose (JSMAD) cohorts - Two cohorts are planned. One cohort of 8 Japanese subjects will receive a medium dose level of AZD0780 or placebo randomized 3:1 for 9 days dosing (subjects will receive a single dose of IMP on Day 1 followed by daily dosing on Days 8 to 15 [there is no dose on Days 2 to 7]). The second cohort of 8 Japanese subjects will receive a higher dose level of AZD0780 or placebo.
- Rosuvastatin global MAD cohorts - Two cohorts are planned. Up to 40 subjects in the first cohort will receive either AZD0780 in combination with rosuvastatin or placebo in combination with rosuvastatin, randomized 1:1 to 1 of the 2 treatment arms with 20 subjects per arm. Up to 25 subjects will participate in the second cohort and will be randomized 4:1 to 1 of 2 treatment arms to receive either AZD0780 in combination with rosuvastatin (20 subjects) or placebo in combination with rosuvastatin (5 subjects). Subjects eligible for these cohorts will begin a Screening period of 56 days, a minimum of 21 days run-in period (maximum of up to 28 days), Treatment period of 28 days for each cohort and two Follow-up visits (1 & 2 weeks after last dose of IMP).

Inclusion criteria
-
Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent prior to any study specific procedures (including the Pre Screening Visit for Part B).
-
Healthy male and female subjects (of nonchildbearing potential), aged 18 to 55 years inclusive, with suitable veins for cannulation or repeated venipuncture.
-
Females must have a negative pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and on admission to the study center, must not be lactating and must be of non childbearing potential, confirmed at the Screening Visit by fulfilling one of the following criteria:
- Postmenopausal defined as amenorrhea for at least 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments and FSH levels in the postmenopausal range.
- Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation.
-
Have a BMI between 18 and 35 kg/m2 inclusive and weigh at least 50 kg and no more than 120 kg inclusive at the Screening Visit and on admission to the study center.
-
For Japanese subjects (Part B) and Chinese subjects (Part A):
- A subject will be considered Japanese if both parents and all grandparents are Japanese, the subject was born in Japan, and the subject has not lived outside Japan for more than 10 years.
- A subject will be considered Chinese if both parents and all grandparents are Chinese, the subject was born in China, and the subject has not lived outside China for more than 10 years.
-
For Part B (MAD), at the Screening Visit subjects must have LDL-C ≥ 70 mg/dL but ≤ 190 mg/dL (or ≥ 1.8 mmol/L but ≤ 4.9 mmol/L for London EPCU [Early Phase Clinical Unit]), and triglycerides < 400 mg/dL (or < 10.3 mmol/L for London EPCU).
-
For Part B (rosuvastatin global MAD), at the Screening Visit subjects must have LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL but < 190 mg/dL (≥ 2.6 mmol/L but ≤ 4.9 mmol/L for London EPCU).
Exclusion criteria
