Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple ascending doses of AZD9567.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a phase 1, randomised, single-blind, multiple ascending dose, double-dummy sequential group study in healthy subjects .

The study is planned to have 6 cohorts with the option to include up to two additional cohorts if deemed necessary. Nine subjects participated in the first cohort (7 subjects randomised to receive AZD9567 and 2 subjects randomised to receive prednisolone 20 mg)and eleven subjects will participate in subsequent 3 cohorts (7 subjects will be randomised to receive AZD9567 and 4 subjects randomised to receive prednisolone 20 mg). A cohort 5 was included in the study in version 4.0 of the CSP. In this cohort two doses of prednisolone was tested, 5 mg and 20 mg. Up to six dose levels of AZD9567 are planned to be tested in the study and an additional cohort will be used in case any previous dose needs to be repeated or a new lower dose explored (ref CSP 5.0).

Therefore a maximum of 95 individuals could be included in the study (as stated in version 5.0 of this protocol). Subjects will be dosed for 5 consecutive days and a follow-up visit will occur 10-14 days after the last dose.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or non-childbearing potential female subject, aged 18 to 55 years (both inclusive) with suitable veins for cannulation or repeated venipuncture. Explanatory note: Female subjects must be of non-childbearing potential, confirmed at screening by fulfilling study predefined criteria
2. Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 29.9 kg/m2 inclusive and weigh at least 50 kg and no more than 100 kg inclusive.
3. Serum cortisol levels within normal limits at Screening (collected as part of the clinical chemistry panel) at the discretion of the Investigator.
4. Able to understand, read and speak the language of the ICD approved by the EC/IRB
5. Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent prior to any study specific procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

1. History of any clinically important disorder which, in opinion of the Investigator, may either put the subject at risk or influence the results or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
2. History or presence of gastrointestinal (GI), hepatic or renal disease, or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.
3. History or presence of dyspepsia or oral intolerance to steroids.
4. History of or active or latent tuberculosis (TB), or at risk for having acquired TB (social workers or prison staff in countries with endemic rates of TB, having lived with patients with known TB).

28. Has received another new chemical entity (defined as a compound which has not been approved for marketing) within 3 months or 5 half-lifes, whatever is the longest of the first administration of IMP.

Explanatory note: the period of exclusion begins three months after the final dose or one month after the last visit whichever is the longest. Subjects consented and screened, but not randomised in this study or a previous phase I study, are not excluded.
29. Vulnerable subject, e.g., kept in detention, protected adult under guardianship, trusteeship, or committed to an institution by governmental or juridical order.
