About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Access the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of AZD9977 Following Single Ascending Dose Administration to Healthy Male Subjects

This study will be a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled first-in-human study in healthy male subjects to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of AZD9977. In Part B of this study the regional absorption of AZD9977 along the gastro-intestinal tract will be investigated using the IntelliCap® system in a non-randomized, open-label, fixed-sequence design. The study will be performed at a single study centre.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD9977, oral suspension and AZD9977, oral solution in people with Safety and Tolerability, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 41 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and Tolerability of AZD9977 by Assessing the Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: For up to 45 days, i.e. from Screening to Follow-up). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Apr 2017.
