Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Efficacy of AZD0585 by Assessment of Percent Change in Serum Triglycerides
From baseline to Week12

To demonstrate the efficacy of AZD0585 2 g and 4 g compared to placebo (corn oil) in Japanese patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

Safety of AZD0585 by Assessment of Adverse Events in Patients
From baseline to Week52

To evaluate the long-term (up to 52 weeks) safety of AZD0585 in Japanese patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

The Effect of Food Timing (Fasting, Before Meal, and After Meal) on Pharmacokinetics (PK; AUC) of AZD0585 in Healthy Male Japanese.
Blood samples were collected from pre-dose (Day -1) up to 72 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).

To investigate the effect of food timing on PK (area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity \[AUC\]) of single dose of 4 g AZD0585 in healthy male Japanese by assessing plasma concentrations of total eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and total docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and PK parameters over time under the three proposed conditions (fasting, before meal, and after meal).

The Effect of Food Timing (Fasting, Before Meal, and After Meal) on PK (Cmax) of AZD0585 in Healthy Male Japanese.
Blood samples were collected from pre-dose (Day -1) up to 72 hours post-dose for each of the separate treatment periods (Visits 2, 3 and 4).

To investigate the effect of food timing on PK (maximum plasma concentration \[Cmax\]) of single dose of 4 g AZD0585 in healthy male Japanese by assessing plasma concentrations of total EPA and total DHA, and PK parameters over time under the three proposed conditions (fasting, before meal, and after meal). Analyses of the outcome measures presented are for baseline-adjusted data for total EPA and DHA since the presence of endogenous levels of these fatty acids would likely contribute to intra-subject variability and affect the analyses and interpretation. The geometric mean was calculated as the exponential of the arithmetic mean calculated from data on a log scale.

Frequently asked questions about AZD0585

What is AZD0585 used for?

AZD0585 is an investigational small molecule being studied for hypertriglyceridemia, a condition of elevated triglycerides in the blood. It has also been evaluated in healthy volunteers to assess its pharmacokinetics. The drug is in clinical development by AstraZeneca and is not yet approved.

Who makes AZD0585?

AZD0585 is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a multinational pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is conducting clinical trials of AZD0585 in Japan, focusing on hypertriglyceridemia and healthy volunteer studies.

What phase is AZD0585 in?

AZD0585 is in Phase 1 clinical development. While one completed trial was listed as Phase 3, the overall development stage is Phase 1, and the drug remains investigational. It has not been approved by regulatory authorities and is still undergoing clinical evaluation.

What clinical trials is AZD0585 in?

AZD0585 has been studied in two completed trials. NCT02372344 was a Phase 1 study in healthy Japanese male subjects to investigate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of total EPA and DHA. NCT02463071 was a Phase 3 long-term study in Japanese patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

Is AZD0585 the same as EPA or DHA?

AZD0585 is a small molecule that appears to be related to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), as a clinical trial measured the pharmacokinetics of total EPA and DHA after administration. However, AZD0585 is a distinct investigational drug being developed by AstraZeneca.
