What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of AZD1163, administered both intravenously and subcutaneously, in healthy participants. It consists of two parts: a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) phase with nine cohorts and a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) phase. Participants will undergo a screening period followed by in-clinic observation for each dose, with a total involvement of approximately 70 weeks. The study aims to gather data on the pharmacokinetics of AZD1163 in a controlled environment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy male and female volunteers aged 18-55 with a BMI between 18 and 32 kg/m².

Not a fit: Patients with significant medical histories or current diseases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical safety data for AZD1163, paving the way for its use in treating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown success in evaluating the safety and tolerability of new compounds in healthy volunteers, making this approach well-established.
