About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Two-Part Sequential Study Designed to Assess the Mass Balance Recovery, Absorption, Metabolism, Excretion of [14C]AZD0780 and the Absolute Bioavailability of AZD0780 in Healthy Male Subjects

The Sponsor is developing a new test medicine, AZD0780, with the aim to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, fatty deposits) levels and cardiovascular (heart disease) risk, when given on top of standard care.

This two-part healthy volunteer study will try to identify how the test medicine is taken up, broken down and removed from the body. To help investigate this, the test medicine is radiolabelled, which means that the test medicine has a radioactive component (carbon-14; also referred as 14C) which helps us to track where the test medicine is in the body. The safety and tolerability of the test medicine will also be studied.

This study will take place at one non-NHS site, enrolling up to 8 male volunteers aged between 30 and 55 years.

The Sponsor is developing a new test medicine, AZD0780, with the aim to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, fatty deposits) levels and cardiovascular (heart disease) risk, when given on top of standard care. High levels of LDL-C can build up on the walls of blood vessels, forming plaques which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

This two-part healthy volunteer study will try to identify how the test medicine is taken up, broken down and removed from the body.

To help investigate this, the test medicine is radiolabelled, which means that the test medicine has a radioactive component (carbon-14; also referred as 14C) which helps us to track where the test medicine is in the body. The safety and tolerability of the test medicine will also be studied.

This study will take place at one non-NHS site, enrolling up to 8 male volunteers aged between 30 and 55 years.

In Part 1, volunteers will receive a single oral dose of AZD0780 on Day 1. The volunteers will then receive a single intravenous dose of [14C]AZD0780, 2.25 hours after the oral dose. Volunteers will be discharged on Day 8. Following a minimum 14 day washout period, all volunteers who participated in Part 1 of the study will be admitted to the clinical unit for Part 2. In Part 2, the volunteers will receive a single oral dose of [14C]AZD0780 on Day 1. Volunteers will be discharged on Day 11, however, if relevant radioactivity criteria have not been met, volunteers may need to remain at the clinical unit until Day 13. If relevant criteria have not been met at this point, home collections of urine and/or faeces may be required.

Volunteers will receive a follow up phone call between Day 18 and 21.

Volunteer's blood and urine and faeces will be taken throughout the study for analysis of the test medicine and for their safety.

Volunteers are expected to be involved in this study for 10 weeks from screening to the follow up call.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD0780 tablet, [14C]AZD0780 Solution for Infusion and [14C]AZD0780 Oral Solution in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, 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 6 inclusion and 31 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 11 Jun 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 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. 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?

Absolute bioavailability (F) - Part 1 (time frame: Plasma sample collection from pre-dose to 168 hours post-dose). The study lists 27 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 11 Jun 2025.
