This is a Phase 1, single-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending doses (MAD) study in healthy male and female adult participants. The study will include up to 48 participants (12 participants per cohort) who will be randomized 9:3 to active drug or placebo. Each cohort will receive AZD4041 or placebo in a MAD study. A sequential cohort MAD design will be employed to assure that higher doses are administered to healthy participants only after lower doses have demonstrated an acceptable safety profile. The total study duration will be up to 59 days (including Screening) per participant.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. The TEAEs are defined as events present at baseline that worsened in intensity after administration of study drug or events absent at baseline that emerged after administration of study drug.

Number of Participants With Suicidal Ideation or Behavior Assessed Using Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
The C-SSRS is described as a scale developed at Columbia University that has 2-6 questions each in categories of Suicidal Ideation, Intensity of Ideation, Suicidal Behavior, and Actual Attempts. Four constructs were measured. Severity of Suicidal ideation is rated on a 5-point ordinal scale. Intensity of ideation is comprised of 5 items (frequency, duration, controllability, deterrents, and reason for ideation), each rated on a 5-point ordinal scale. Suicidal behavior is rated on a nominal scale that includes actual, aborted, and interrupted attempts; preparatory behavior; and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior. Lethality, assesses actual attempts; actual lethality is rated on a 6-point ordinal scale, and if actual lethality is 0, potential lethality of attempts is rated on a 3-point ordinal scale.The higher the C-SSRS score, the higher the suicide risk (ie. worse outcome).
