This is a Phase I study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the novel compound, AZD5718 in healthy Japanese men. The results from this study will form the basis for decisions on future studies.
This study will be a Phase 1, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending dose sequential group design in up to 48 healthy male Japanese subjects, performed at a single study center. The planned number of cohorts is 4 but up to 6 cohorts may be included if the Safety Review Committee (SRC) considers it necessary to repeat a dose level or if additional dose steps are required. Screening will be completed between Days -28 and -1. Primarily gradual escalation of the dose will be conducted with the oral suspension. Eight subjects will participate in each cohort. Four ascending dose levels are planned. Within each cohort 6 subjects will be randomised to receive AZD5718 and 2 subjects randomised to receive placebo. Each subject will receive one dose of AZD5718 or placebo on the first dosing day (Day 1, single ascending dose, SAD) and on Days 3 to 10 (multiple ascending dose, MAD). On Day 2 no dose will be given to the subject. In total each subject will receive 9 doses. Dosing for each ascending dose cohort will proceed after the SRC has evaluated the safety, tolerability and other relevant data of a completed cohort. The subjects will stay at the study site until 48 hours post-dose and will return 7 to 10 days after dosing for a follow-up visit. Each subject will be involved in the study for 7 weeks.
