What is AZD6793 used for?

AZD6793 is an investigational small molecule being developed for respiratory and inflammatory diseases. It is currently being studied in a Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The drug is administered orally and is being evaluated in patients aged 40 years and older.

Who makes AZD6793?

AZD6793 is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a multinational pharmaceutical company. AstraZeneca's stock is traded under the ticker symbol AZN.

What phase is AZD6793 in?

AZD6793 is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. A Phase 2 trial (NCT07082738) is recruiting participants with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This follows the completion of several Phase 1 studies that assessed the drug's safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy participants. AZD6793 is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is AZD6793 in?

AZD6793 is being evaluated in a Phase 2 trial (NCT07082738) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is currently recruiting. Additionally, three Phase 1 trials have been completed: NCT05662033, NCT06368440, and NCT06494644, which studied the drug in healthy participants and in participants with inflammatory diseases.

Is AZD6793 FDA approved?

AZD6793 is not FDA approved. It is an investigational drug currently in Phase 2 clinical development for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The drug has completed Phase 1 trials that evaluated its safety and pharmacokinetics in healthy participants. Approval from regulatory authorities would require successful completion of further clinical trials and a formal review process.
