Brief summary
The aim of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AZD5423 following single ascending dose administrations in healthy male subjects.
Interventions
Solution for nebulisation, inhaled. Each subject will receive a single-dose of AZD5423 or placebo. Starting dose 8.4µg (lung deposited dose) with up to 8 dose escalations not exceeding AstraZeneca pre-defined exposure limits.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Safety variables (ECG, adverse events, blood pressure, pulse, body temp, safety lab), lung function and physical examination | Frequent sampling occasions during study days |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pharmacokinetics - Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (tmax), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the time of the last measurable concentration [AUC(0-t)] and from zero to infinity (AUC) | Frequent sampling occasions during study days |
| Add'l pharmacokinetics - Terminal rate constant (λz); terminal half-life (t½λz), Apparent plasma clearance (CL/F), apparent volume of distribution during terminal phase (Vz/F), mean residence time (MRT). | Frequent sampling occasions during study days |
| Pharmacodynamics - Plasma cortisol concentrations | Frequent sampling occasions during study days |
