Frequently asked questions about AZD4954

What is AZD4954 used for?

AZD4954 is an investigational small molecule being studied in healthy participants and in participants with dyslipidemia. It is being evaluated in Phase 1 clinical trials to assess its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, including in individuals with elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) levels.

Who makes AZD4954?

AZD4954 is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol AZN. The company is conducting Phase 1 clinical trials of this investigational small molecule in the United States.

What phase is AZD4954 in?

AZD4954 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 1 trials have been conducted, one of which is completed and one is currently recruiting participants.

What clinical trials is AZD4954 in?

AZD4954 is being studied in two Phase 1 clinical trials. NCT06980428 is a recruiting study in healthy adults with or without elevated lipoprotein(a) levels and participants with dyslipidemia. NCT07513571, a completed study, assessed the effect of AZD0780 on the pharmacokinetics of AZD4954 and vice versa in healthy adults.

Is AZD4954 the same as AZD0780?

No, AZD4954 is not the same as AZD0780. They are distinct investigational drugs. A completed Phase 1 clinical trial (NCT07513571) was designed to assess the effect of AZD0780 on the pharmacokinetics of AZD4954 and vice versa in healthy adults, indicating they are separate compounds being studied together.
