Frequently asked questions about AZD2516

What is AZD2516 used for?

AZD2516 is an investigational small molecule being developed by AstraZeneca for reflux. It has been studied in healthy volunteers to assess its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics, but it is not approved and remains in clinical development.

What does AZD2516 target?

AZD2516 targets the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5). A positron emission tomography (PET) study was conducted to determine central mGluR5 receptor occupancy of AZD2516 in healthy volunteers.

Who makes AZD2516?

AZD2516 is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker AZN.

What phase is AZD2516 in?

AZD2516 is in Phase 1 clinical development. All completed trials for AZD2516 are Phase 1 studies, and the drug is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is AZD2516 in?

AZD2516 has been studied in several completed Phase 1 trials, including NCT00754715, NCT00892944, NCT00972049, and NCT01148095. These trials assessed safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and mGluR5 receptor occupancy in healthy volunteers across Sweden, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

Is AZD2516 the same as any other drug?

AZD2516 is the sole name provided for this investigational compound. No alternative names have been associated with it in the clinical trial records.
