About this study

Official title: A Phase Ia/b Randomized, Single-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Immunogenicity, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Ascending Doses of AZD3427 in Healthy Volunteers and Multiple Ascending Doses of AZD3427 in Patients With Heart Failure (HFrEF and HF With EF ≥ 41%)

This first-time-in-human (FTIH) study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of single doses of AZD3427 in healthy volunteers and multiple doses of AZD3427 in patients with heart failure (HF).

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center single and multiple ascending dose study (SAD and MAD).

Part A (SAD) will include 7 cohorts (8 healthy volunteers in each cohort) and will randomize to AZD3427 or placebo, in a 6:2 ratio. One cohort will entirely include participants of Japanese descent.

Part B (MAD) will include 6 cohorts (8 heart failure patients in each cohort) and will randomize to AZD3427 or placebo in a 6:2 ratio. Of these, 3 cohorts will contain participants with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF] and the other 3 cohorts will comprise of participants with heart failure with HF with ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 41%. There will be a maximum screening period of 27 days. Participants in part A and B will undergo study drug administration on Day 1. In addition, participants in part B will return for 4 additional doses on Days 8, 15, 22, and 29. Participants will be followed for at least 50 days after the last dose of study drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD3427 in people with Heart Failure, run by AstraZeneca at 10 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 37 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events (time frame: Part A: Day 1 until Day 50 or Early termination visit (E/T); Part B: Day 1 until Day 78 or E/T). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04630067, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Oct 2022.
