Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and the pharmacodynamics (PD) of AZD4144 following oral administration in participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1b, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study and will be conducted in participants with established ASCVD and CKD with persistent inflammation (High-sensitivity C-reactive protein \[hsCRP\] \> 2 mg/L and eGlomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] ≥ 30 to \< 60 mL/min/1.73m2). The participants will be randomized in the 1:1 ratio to either receive treatment with AZD4144 or placebo. The study will be comprised of: * A screening period of 28 days * Treatment period where each participant will either receive oral dose of AZD4144 or placebo for 28 days. * A follow-up visit (Day 35 ±1) and a Final Follow-up (on Day 56±1) post first dose administration. The total duration of the study will be approximately 12 weeks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of participants with adverse events
Time Frame: From first dose (Day 1) until Follow-up (Day 56±1)
The safety and the tolerability of AZD4144 compared with placebo will be evaluated.
Relative change from baseline to 4 weeks in systemic Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels
Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 28
The effect of AZD4144 on circulating inflammatory biomarker IL-6 compared with placebo will be evaluated.
Secondary Outcomes
- Relative change from baseline to 4 weeks in systemic IL-18 and High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels(Day 1 to Day 28)
- Maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax)(Day 1 to Day 28 (pre-dose), Day 1 and Day 22±1 (post-dose))
- Time to reach maximum observed concentration (tmax)(Day 1 to Day 28 (pre-dose), Day 1 and Day 22±1 (post-dose))
- Observed lowest concentration before the next dose is administered (Ctrough)(Day 1 to Day 28 (pre-dose), Day 1 and Day 22±1 (post-dose))
