Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacodynamics (PD) of AZD0780 compared with placebo by assessment of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels following repeated oral dosing in healthy adults with elevated LDL-C levels.
Detailed description
This is a Phase I, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study of AZD0780 in healthy adults with elevated LDL-C levels. The study comprises of: * An optional Pre-screening visit. * A Screening Period (maximum 28 days). * Admission to the Clinical Unit (Day -1). * A Treatment Period for administration of AZD0780 or placebo (Days 1 to 28). * Follow-up Visit 12 ± 2 days after the last study intervention dose.
Interventions
AZD0780 will be administered orally.
Placebo will be administered orally.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Healthy participants with suitable veins for cannulation or repeated venipuncture. * All females must have a negative pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and on admission to the Clinical Unit. * Females of childbearing potential must not be lactating and if heterosexually active must agree to use an approved method of highly effective contraception. * Females of non-childbearing potential must be confirmed as postmenopausal or have documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation or tubal occlusion. * Have a body mass index between 18 and 35 kg/m2 inclusive and weigh at least 50 kg. * Fasting LDL-C ≥ 70 mg/dL and \< 190 mg/dL at Screening.
Exclusion criteria
* History of any clinically important disease or disorder. * History or presence of gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal disease or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs. * Any clinically important illness, medical/surgical procedure, or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration. * Any abnormal vital signs or laboratory values including clinical chemistry, hematology, coagulation, or urinalysis results. * Current smokers or those who have smoked or used nicotine products (including e-cigarettes) or any known or suspected history of alcohol or drug abuse. * History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing clinically important allergy/hypersensitivity, especially to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to AZD0780.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Relative change from baseline in LDL-C levels | From Baseline (Day 1) to 4 weeks | To determine the pharmacodynamic profile of AZD0780 versus placebo by evaluating LDL-C concentrations after repeated oral administration |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area under concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf) | At pre-defined intervals from Day 1 to Day 40 | To characterize the single dose and steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD0780 following oral administration of AZD0780 |
| Area under concentration-curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) | At pre-defined intervals from Day 1 to Day 40 | To characterize the single dose and steady state PK of AZD0780 following oral administration of AZD0780 |
| Maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax) | At pre-defined intervals from Day 1 to Day 40 | To characterize the single dose and steady state PK of AZD0780 following oral administration of AZD0780 |
| Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) | Upto Day 40 | To assess the safety and tolerability of AZD0780 versus placebo following oral administration of repeated dosing in healthy participants |
