Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05134727
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Part 1: This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study consisting of 2 parts. Part 1: SAD and Part 2: MAD. Part 1 will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, with a sequential SAD design. Three dose levels of AZD5055 are planned to be investigated in 3 cohorts. Depending on evaluation of data from the preceding cohorts, 2 additional cohorts/dose levels may be added at the discretion of the SRC. Part 1 will comprise of:

  • - A Screening Period of a maximum of 6 weeks.
  • - A Treatment Period during which subjects will be resident at the Clinical Unit from 1 day before IMP administration (Day 1) until at least 72 hours after IMP administration (Day 4).
Subjects will receive a single oral dose of AZD5055 or placebo on Day 1.
  • - A Follow up Visit within 6 ± 1 day after the IMP dose.
Part 2 will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study with a MAD design. Subjects will receive AZD5055 on Day 1 and Day 3 to Day 16, with no dosing on Day 2. Subjects will be naïve, ie, will not have participated in Part 1 of this study. Three dose levels of AZD5055 are planned to be investigated in 3 cohorts. Depending on evaluation of data of the preceding cohorts, up to 2 additional dose levels/cohorts may be added or expanded at the discretion of the SRC. Part 2 will comprise of:
  • - A Screening Period of a maximum of 6 weeks.
  • - A treatment period with a dosing frequency (QD or BID) that will be dependent on emerging PK data from Part 1: A) For cohorts with QD dosing regimens: • A Treatment Period during which subjects will be resident at the Clinical Unit from 1 day before IMP administration (Day -1) until at least 72 hours after the last dose given on Day 16 (Day 19).
Subjects will be dosed for a total of 15 days, receiving a single QD morning dose of AZD5055 or placebo on Day 1 and on Days 3 through Day 16. B) For cohorts with BID dosing regimens:
  • - A Treatment Period during which subjects will be resident at the Clinical Unit from 1 day before IMP administration (Day -1) until at least 72 hours after the last dose given on Day 16 (Day 19).
Subjects will be dosed for a total of 15 days, receiving a single morning dose of AZD5055 or placebo on Day 1 and Day 16, and repeated BID dosing on Day 3 through Day 15, 12 hours (± 30 minutes) apart.
  • - A Follow-up Visit within 6 ± 1 day after the last IMP dose, and an additional Follow up Visit within 29 ± 2 days after the last IMP dose.
