Brief summary
The study will investigate how the dose of AZD8848 and the dosing frequency will affect the immunological/inflammatory response by measuring the production of biomarkers in blood and nasal lavage.
Interventions
The subjects are dosed with a range of intranasal doses of AZD8848 on 2, 3, 4 or 7 days of the 7 days treatment period. On the other days the subjects receive placebo.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Healthy men or women aged 18 to 55 years (inclusive). Women must be of non-childbearing potential or must have been stable on a highly effective contraceptive method for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1 and be willing to continue on the chosen contraceptive method, with additional use of a condom by male partners, until 3 months after last dose. * Female subjects should have a negative pregnancy test at Visit 2 and date of last menstruation consistent of non-pregnancy * Ability to metabolise AZD8848 (an in vitro screening assay will determine metabolic activity in a blood sample taken at Visit 1 using a pre-defined limit)
Exclusion criteria
* Any clinically significant disease or disorder * Any clinically relevant abnormal findings in physical examination * Structural abnormalities of the nose or nasal disorder symptomatic enough to cause significant nasal obstruction * Ongoing pregnancy or lactation * Abnormal immune function
