Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate safety and tolerability after high Single Ascending Oral Doses of AZD1656.
Interventions
3 escalating dose levels are planned. Administration of the escalating doses of AZD1656 will be based on review of available safety from the previous dose.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary Objective to assess the safety and tolerability of AZD1656, following oral administration of single ascending supratherapeutic doses of AZD1656 to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a fasted state. | From screening until Follow up |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
