An adverse event is the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a pre-existing medical condition following or during exposure to a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered causally related to the product. An undesirable medical condition can be symptoms (e.g., nausea, chest pain), signs (e.g., tachycardia, enlarged liver) or the abnormal results of an investigation (e.g., laboratory findings, electrocardiogram). In clinical studies an AE can include an undesirable medical condition occurring at any time after the patient has signed informed consent, including run-in or washout periods, even if no specific treatment has been administered.

Frequently asked questions about Abediterol

What is Abediterol?

Abediterol is an investigational small molecule being developed by AstraZeneca PLC for respiratory conditions, specifically asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is delivered as an inhaled therapy and remains in clinical development, with Phase 1 studies completed to date.

What does Abediterol target?

Abediterol targets ADRB2, the beta-2 adrenergic receptor, and acts as an agonist at this receptor. This target class is well established in respiratory medicine, where beta-2 agonism supports bronchodilation in conditions such as asthma and COPD.

Who makes Abediterol?

Abediterol is developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN. The company has sponsored the clinical studies evaluating the drug in asthma and COPD, including trials conducted in Germany.

What phase is Abediterol in?

Abediterol is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved for marketing. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed.

What clinical trials is Abediterol in?

Abediterol has been studied in two completed Phase 1 trials. NCT03273127 assessed pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability over nine days of once-daily dosing in asthma patients on inhaled corticosteroids. NCT02967159 evaluated disposition and safety of single inhaled doses of abediterol and AZD7594 alone and in combination in healthy male participants.

What is Abediterol used for in asthma and COPD?

Abediterol is being investigated for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Its clinical program has focused on inhaled administration in these respiratory indications, including a trial in asthma patients already receiving inhaled corticosteroids.
