  2. Part B (multiple ascending dose): Part B of the study will include three parts: B1 for non-Asian participants who may or may not be receiving moderate- or high-intensity statin therapy, B2 for Japanese participants not receiving statin therapy, and B3 for participants who may or may not be receiving moderate- or high-intensity statin therapy, with the additional diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and with HbA1c < 8%. Parts B2 and B3 are optional.

The study will comprise of:

  • A Screening Period of maximum 60 days for both Part A and Part B.
  • Part A: A single dose of AZD1705 with an in-clinic period of 3 days.
  • An outpatient Follow-up Period of approximately 16 weeks.
  • Part B: 2 doses of AZD1705, given 28 days apart with an in-clinic period.
  • An outpatient Follow-up Period of approximately 20 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD1705 in people with Cardiovascular, run by AstraZeneca at 5 sites 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 14 inclusion and 45 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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) and serious adverse events (SAEs) (time frame: Part A: From Screening (Day -60 to Day -2) until Day 113. Part B: From Screening until Day 141). 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 5 Aug 2026.
