About this study

Official title: Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of AZD4076 Following Multiple Ascending Dose Administration to T2DM Subjects With Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

This is a phase I/IIa, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending dose study conducted at a single site. The study plans to include up to approximately 46 evaluable subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (HbA1c 7-11%) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease (liver fat content > = 8%) on metformin monotherapy.

Three initial cohorts are planned:

  • Cohort 1: 6 subjects receiving AZD4076 and 4 subjects receiving placebo
  • Cohort 2: 12 subjects receiving AZD4076 and 10 subjects receiving placebo
  • Cohort 3: 10 subjects receiving AZD4076 and 10 subjects receiving placebo, with the possibility to add additional subjects if drop-out rates are higher than expected

Pending review by SRC, an additional 2 cohorts, each consisting of 18 evaluable subjects may be included in the study.

The primary objectives of this clinical trial are to investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD4076 following subcutaneous administration of multiple ascending doses; to assess the effect of AZD4076 on whole body insulin sensitivity using hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp with tracer technique; and to assess the effect of AZD4076 on liver fat content using magnetic resonance imaging. Secondary objectives of this trial are to characterize multiple dose PK of AZD4076 and its longmer and shortmer metabolites and assess the time required to reach steady state and the degree of accumulation; to assess the efficacy of AZD4076 on 24-hour glucose; and to assess the effect of AZD4076 on homeostatic model assessment insulin resistant (HOMA-IR) and Matsuda index.

This is a phase I/IIa, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending dose study conducted at a single site. The study plans to include up to approximately 46 evaluable subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (HbA1c 7-11%) and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease (liver fat content > = 8%) on metformin monotherapy

Three initial cohorts are planned:

  • Cohort 1: 6 subjects receiving AZD4076 and 4 subjects receiving placebo
  • Cohort 2: 12 subjects receiving AZD4076 and 10 subjects receiving placebo
  • Cohort 3: 10 subjects receiving AZD4076 and 10 subjects receiving placebo, with the possibility to add additional subjects if drop-out rates are higher than expected.

Pending review by SRC, an additional 2 cohorts, each consisting of 18 evaluable subjects may be included in the study.

The planned study consists of a screening visit, followed by 12 subsequent study visits. There will be a total of three residential periods: (1) Loading phase of the treatment (visit 2, days -4 to 14), (2) maintenance phase of treatment (visit 6, days 42-43), and (3) 8 weeks post-first dose of study drug (visit 9, days 53-56). Dosing of study drug will take place on days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 in the loading phase; and on days 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42 during the maintenance phase. Following the maintenance phase, subjects will have four follow-up visits.

Study Objectives:

The primary objectives of this clinical trial are to investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD4076 following subcutaneous administration of multiple ascending doses; to assess the effect of AZD4076 on whole body insulin sensitivity using hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp with tracer technique; and to assess the effect of AZD4076 on liver fat content using magnetic resonance imaging. Secondary objectives of this trial are to characterize multiple dose PK of AZD4076 and its longmer and shortmer metabolites and assess the time required to reach steady state and the degree of accumulation; to assess the efficacy of AZD4076 on 24-hour glucose; and to assess the effect of AZD4076 on homeostatic model assessment insulin resistant (HOMA-IR) and Matsuda index.

Study Population:

Subjects participating in this study are adult males and females of non-child bearing potential, who are 18-70 years of age, body mass index 23-40 kg/m2, diagnosed with T2DM who are inadequately controlled (HbA1C 7-11%) on a stable metformin regimen, and who have hepatic steatosis (defined as liver fat content of >=8% per MRI).

Duration of treatment:

The screening visit will occur within 42 days prior to the administration of the study drug. Total length of the treatment period is 6 weeks. The treatment period is divided in two phases: the loading phase, in which participants will receive the study drug every other day for 9 days (Days 1, 3, 5 , 7 and 9); thereafter subjects will enter the maintenance phase, where dosing will occur once weekly for four weeks (Days 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42). To ensure safety, subjects will be followed for approximately 5 months post the last dose of study drug.

Investigational product, dosage and mode of administration:

The study will utilize two study drugs: AZD4076 and placebo. Both drugs will be administered subcutaneously in the abdomen.

Safety analysis:

The key outcomes for the safety analyses are: adverse events, vital signs, safety laboratory parameters, ECGs, telemetry; and structured neurological and physical examination, as well as injection site assessment. Pharmacodynamic parameters will be derived from data generated from the clamp procedure, MRI, HOMA, OGTT and 24-hour glucose AUC. For pharmacokinetic parameters, plasma and urine concentrations of AZD4076 and its metabolites will be measured

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD4076 in people with T2DM With NAFLD, run by AstraZeneca.

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 34 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 1 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The safety and tolerability of AZD4076 by assessing the number of participants with adverse events (time frame: From screening until 26 weeks post first dose). The study lists 14 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 1 Apr 2021.
