Overview
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.

- •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.

- •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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Relative change from baseline in LDL-C levels
Time Frame: 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 Outcomes
- Area under concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf)(At pre-defined intervals from Day 1 to Day 40)
- Area under concentration-curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)(At pre-defined intervals from Day 1 to Day 40)
- Maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax)(At pre-defined intervals from Day 1 to Day 40)
- Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)(Upto Day 40)
