About this study

Official title: A Phase I Randomised Single-blind Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of AZD7503 Following Single Ascending Dose Administration to Healthy Participants

This study will evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD7503, following subcutaneous (SC) administration of single ascending doses of AZD7503 in healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, First-in-Human, study in healthy males and females (non-childbearing potential) participants. In this study up to four dose levels of AZD7503 are planned to be evaluated.

The planned doses of AZD7503 are dose 1, dose 2, dose 3, and dose 4. Eligible participants will be randomised to receive either AZD7503 or placebo. The study will include four single dose cohorts with an option to include two cohorts based on emerging data from planned cohorts in the study and two additional cohorts of Japanese participants and one cohort of Chinese participants will also be included.

Dosing for each ascending dose cohort will be proceeded with sentinel dosing strategy. Here, sentinel sub-cohort will be included, such that 1 participant will be randomised to receive placebo and 1 participant will be randomised to receive AZD7503. The safety data from the sentinel participants up to 24 hours post-dose will be reviewed by the Principal Investigator (PI) before the remaining participants in the cohort are dosed

The study will comprise:

  • A Screening Period of maximum 28 days;
  • A Treatment Period during which participants will be resident at the Study Centre from the day before study medication administration (Day -1) until at least 72 hours after study medication administration; discharged from the Study Centre on Day 4;
  • Follow-up Visits on 1,2,4,6 and 8 weeks; and
  • A Final Follow-up Visit 10 weeks after the last study medication dose. Each participant will be involved in the study for approximately 14 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD7503 in people with Safety and Tolerability, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in United States.

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 28 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 19 Feb 2025. 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 States. 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?

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?

Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Up to Final Follow-up (FU) Visit (Week 10) or Early Termination (ET) (assessed up to 14 Weeks)). 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 19 Feb 2025.
