What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and Tolerability of AZD9567 by Assessing the Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Safety and tolerability variables included AEs, vital signs (blood pressure and pulse), ECGs (12-lead ECGs, safety ECGs and telemetry), clinical laboratory safety evaluations (haematology, clinical chemistry [including osteocalcin], coagulation, urinalysis [including 24 hour urine cortisol per day {tU-cortisol}]) and physical examinations.

    Note: No clinically relevant findings were noted in clinical laboratory results and vial signs assessments. Hence, none of the laboratory or vital signs findings were reported as AEs.

    Measured: At screening, Day -2, Day -1, Day 1 (at pre-dose; 3 & 12 hours post-dose), Day 2 (24 hours post-dose), Day 3 and follow-up (7 to 10 days post-dose)

  2. Rate and Extent of Absorption of Single Ascending Doses of AZD9567 by Assessment of Observed Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    To assess the Cmax of AZD9567 oral suspension following 8 single ascending doses (2, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 125 and 155 mg) in Cohorts 1 to 8 in the fasted state. Cmax was taken directly from the individual concentration-time curve.

    Measured: On Day 1 (at pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 hours post-dose), Day 2 (24 hours post-dose) and Day 3 (48 hours post-dose)

  3. Rate and Extent of Absorption of Single Ascending Doses of AZD9567 by Assessment of Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration(Tmax)

    To assess the tmax of AZD9567 oral suspension following 8 single ascending doses (2, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 125 and 155 mg) in Cohorts 1 to 8 in the fasted state. tmax was taken directly from the individual concentration-time curve.

    Measured: On Day 1 (at pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 hours post-dose), Day 2 (24 hours post-dose) and Day 3 (48 hours post-dose)

  4. Rate and Extent of Absorption of Single Ascending Doses of AZD9567 by Assessment of Terminal Half-life (t½λz)

    To assess t½λz of AZD9567 oral suspension following 8 single ascending doses (2, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 125 and 155 mg) in Cohorts 1 to 8 in the fasted state. t½λz was estimated as (ln2)/λz.

    Measured: On Day 1 (at pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 hours post-dose), Day 2 (24 hours post-dose) and Day 3 (48 hours post-dose)

  5. Rate and Extent of Absorption of Single Ascending Doses of AZD9567 by Assessment of Area Under the Plasma Concentration-curve From Time Zero to the Time of Last Quantifiable Analyte Concentration (AUC(0-last))

    To assess AUC(0-last) of AZD9567 oral suspension following 8 single ascending doses (2, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 125 and 155 mg) in Cohorts 1 to 8 in the fasted state.

    Measured: On Day 1 (at pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 hours post-dose), Day 2 (24 hours post-dose) and Day 3 (48 hours post-dose)

  6. Rate and Extent of Absorption of Single Ascending Doses of AZD9567 by Assessment of Area Under the Plasma Concentration-curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC)

    To assess AUC of AZD9567 oral suspension following 8 single ascending doses (2, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 125 and 155 mg) in Cohorts 1 to 8 in the fasted state. AUC was estimated by AUC(0-last) + Clast/λz. Clast - the last observed quantifiable concentration.

    Measured: On Day 1 (at pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 hours post-dose), Day 2 (24 hours post-dose) and Day 3 (48 hours post-dose)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Secondary Outcome: Relative Change From Baseline of AUC0-4h for Plasma Glucose to Assess the Effects on Glucose Homeostasis (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test [OGTT])

    To assess the effect of AZD9567 and prednisolone on OGTT after administration of 75 g glucose solution, blood samples were collected pre glucose intake and at post glucose intake for the analyses of plasma glucose. AUC0-4h relative change between Day 1 and Day -1 was calculated for each subject in a specific treatment group.

    Note: Total AUC0-4h was calculated using the linear trapezoidal method. Statistical analysis for the change in OGTT plasma glucose total AUC0-4h values were assessed via an analysis of variance (ANCOVA), with treatment as fixed effect.

    Measured: At Day -1 (baseline) and Day 1 (pre glucose intake and at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 240 minutes post glucose intake)

  2. Relative Change From Baseline of AUC0-4h for Serum Insulin to Assess the Effects on Glucose Homeostasis (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test [OGTT])

    To assess the effect of AZD9567 and prednisolone on OGTT after administration of 75 g glucose solution, blood samples were collected pre glucose intake and at post glucose intake for the analyses of serum insulin. AUC0-4h relative change between Day 1 and Day -1 was calculated for each subject in a specific treatment group.

    Note: Total AUC0-4h was calculated using the linear trapezoidal method. Statistical analysis for the change in OGTT serum insulin total AUC0-4h values were assessed via an analysis of variance (ANCOVA), with treatment as fixed effect.

    Measured: At Day -1 (baseline) and Day 1 (pre glucose intake and at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 240 minutes post glucose intake)

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 6 inclusion and 16 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 4 Oct 2018. 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 Germany. 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 4 Oct 2018). 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 AZD9567 by Assessing the Number of Participants With Adverse Events (time frame: At screening, Day -2, Day -1, Day 1 (at pre-dose; 3 & 12 hours post-dose), Day 2 (24 hours post-dose), Day 3 and follow-up (7 to 10 days post-dose)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02512575, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Oct 2018.
