About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled 3 Part Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of AZD7798 Following Single Ascending Dose Administration and Repeat Dose Administration in Healthy Subjects (Including Japanese and Chinese Subjects), and Patients With Crohn's Disease

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics (PK), and explore the pharmacodynamics (PD) following single ascending dose administration and repeat dose administration in healthy subjects and patients with Crohn's disease.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study in healthy male and female subjects as well as patients with Crohn's disease performed at a single study centre.

This study is comprised of 3 parts: Part 1 (sub-parts 1a and 1b), Part 2, and Part 3 (sub-Parts 3a and 3b).

  • Part 1a: This is a First-In-Human (FIH), single ascending dose (SAD) sequential group study. Up to 7 dose levels of AZD7798 are planned to be investigated. Depending on the findings, an additional dose may be added. Up to 80 healthy subjects are planned to be included. Eight subjects will participate in each single dose cohort. Within each cohort, 6 subjects will be randomised to receive AZD7798, and 2 subjects will be randomised to receive placebo. Each subject will be enrolled up to 113 days (approximately 16 weeks).
  • Part 1b: Up to 8 subjects will be randomised to receive a planned dose of AZD7798 (up to 6 subjects) or placebo (up to 2 subjects) on Day 1 and Day 15. This cohort is planned to start after completion of the single dose level cohort in Part 1a. Each subject will be enrolled up to 149 days (approximately 21 weeks).
  • Part 2: Up to 8 patients will be randomised (2:1:1) into 1 of 3 strata and receive:
  • Stratum 1: AZD7798 on Day 1 and Day 15 (up to 4 patients).
  • Stratum 2: Placebo on Day 1 and AZD7798 on Day 15 (up to 2 patients).
  • Stratum 3: AZD7798 on Day 1 and placebo on Day 15 (up to 2 patients). Each subject will be enrolled up to 149 days (approximately 21 weeks).
  • Part 3: Subjects will be randomised to AZD7798 or placebo in a ratio of 3:1 (up to 6 subjects will receive AZD7798 and up to 2 subjects will receive placebo).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AZD7798 in people with Healthy Subjects and Crohns Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 25 inclusion and 40 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 3 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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. 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 with Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Until follow-up (Day 85) or Early termination (ET)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Dec 2025.
