What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to determine the safety and tolerability of the new drug AZD4076 at various doses. Researchers are testing this drug in humans for the first time and are examining how the body processes it. Healthy males with a stable weight between 50 kg and 100 kg and no major health issues may qualify for this study. Participants will fast for a specified period before and after taking the drug or a placebo (a dummy treatment) to observe its effects on their bodies. As a Phase 1 trial, participants will be among the first to receive this new treatment, aiding researchers in understanding its effects in people.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

Yes, you will need to stop taking any prescribed or non-prescribed medications, including herbal remedies and certain vitamins, for two weeks before the trial starts.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research shows that AZD4076 is being tested for safety in healthy male volunteers. As this is the first human trial, limited information exists on how well people tolerate it. Early trials aim to determine how the body processes the drug and identify any side effects.

In this early phase, the treatment remains under close safety monitoring. The focus is on assessing the treatment's safety and identifying any negative effects. Participants in this study will help researchers gain a better understanding of the treatment's safety.

If the drug progresses to later phases, early results likely indicate it is generally well-tolerated at the tested doses. Until then, the focus remains on gathering more detailed safety information.¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

AZD4076 is unique because it uses a novel compound, tetracosasodium, which is not found in current treatments for its target condition. Unlike the standard of care, which often involves more conventional mechanisms, AZD4076 may offer a new way to address the condition by potentially targeting different pathways or biological processes. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it could provide an alternative option with possibly fewer side effects or increased efficacy, paving the way for more personalized and effective treatments in the future.

What evidence suggests that AZD4076 could be effective?

AZD4076 is a new treatment tested in healthy men to assess how the body processes it and to evaluate its safety. The trial involves multiple cohorts, with participants receiving either a single dose of AZD4076 or a placebo. This marks the first human trial of the drug, so information on its effectiveness for specific illnesses is limited. The main goal is to understand the drug's behavior in the body and ensure it causes no harm. Early studies like this are crucial for gaining insights into a drug before determining its potential to treat diseases. As research progresses, a clearer understanding of how AZD4076 might aid certain conditions will emerge.¹ ² ³ ⁵ ⁶
