AZD9550, previously being developed for the treatment NASH, is a dual GCG and GLP-1 receptor agonist. AZD9550 is now being developed in combination with AZD6234, a SARA, for the treatment of overweight and obesity and its associated co-morbidities. Co-administration of AZD9550 and AZD6234 is currently being evaluated in participants living with obesity and overweight without T2DM in an ongoing Phase 2b study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and effects of increasing doses of AZD9550 monotherapy in overweight and obese participants aged 18 through 65 years living with or without T2DM, and to investigate how AZD9550 is absorbed, distributed, and eliminated from the body (Parts A-D). In addition, the study will investigate the safety and tolerability of co-administration of AZD9550 and AZD6234 in participants living with T2DM with obesity or overweight aged 18 through 75 years (Part E).
This Phase I/II, randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled, MAD study will assess the safety and tolerability of AZD9550 monotherapy and co-administration of AZD9550 and AZD6234 and will characterise the PK and PD of AZD9550 monotherapy and co-administration of AZD9550 and AZD6234 following SC administration to overweight and obese participants living with or without T2DM. Inclusion of participants receiving placebo is appropriate for benchmarking the safety and tolerability of AZD9550 and co-administration of AZD9550 and AZD6234. A randomised and single-blind study design has been chosen to minimise bias and includes a placebo to facilitate identification of effects related to the administration of the study intervention rather than the study procedures or situation.
