A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of AZD9550 Following Single Ascending Dose Administration to Healthy Participants

Prior treatment

• Plasma donation within one month of the Screening Visit or any blood donation/blood loss \> 500 mL during the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit.
• Has received another new chemical entity (defined as a compound which has not been approved for marketing) within 3 months of the first administration of IMP in this study. The period of exclusion begins 3 months after the final dose or one month after the last visit whichever is the longest.
  • Note: participants consented and screened, but not randomised in this study or a previous Phase I study, are not excluded.

Other illness

• History of any clinically important disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the participant at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the participant's ability to participate in the study.
• History or presence of gastrointestinal, hepatic or renal disease or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs.
• Any clinically important illness, medical/surgical procedure or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration of Investigational medicinal product (IMP).
• History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing clinically important allergy/hypersensitivity, as judged by the Investigator or history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to AZD9550.
• Any condition that would have interfered with the evaluation of the IMP or interpretation of participant safety or study results.

Lab values

• Any laboratory values with the following deviations at Screening and admission:
  • Alanine aminotransferase \> Upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase \> ULN
  • eGFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73m2 (to be calculated using CKD-EPI formula)
  • White blood cell count \< LLN
  • Hemoglobin \< LLN
  • Neutrophil Count \<1.5 × 10\*9/L
• Any positive result at Screening for serum hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
• Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of the resting Electrocardiogram (ECG) and any clinically important abnormalities in the 12 lead ECG that may interfere with the interpretation of QTc interval changes, including abnormal ST T wave morphology, particularly in the protocol defined primary lead or left ventricular hypertrophy.
• Participants with a medical history of Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome (MEN 2), or a baseline serum calcitonin at or above 50 ng/L.
• Participants with a medical history of MTC (Medullary thyroid carcinoma) or MEN 2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome), or a baseline serum calcitonin at or above 50 ng/L.

Other

• Any clinically important abnormalities in clinical chemistry, haematology or urinalysis results other than those described under exclusion criterion number 4, as judged by the Investigator.
• Abnormal vital signs, after 10 minutes supine rest at Screening.
• Judgment by the Investigator that the participant should not participate in the study if they have any ongoing or recent (ie, during the Screening period) minor medical complaints that may interfere with the interpretation of study data or are considered unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements.
• Participants who are unable to consume in full the MMTT (Mixed meal tolerance test - Ensure Plus 200 mL).

• Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures.
• Healthy male and female participants aged 18 to 55 years.
• Females must have a negative pregnancy test at the Screening Visit and on admission to the Clinical Unit, must not be lactating, and must be of non childbearing potential, confirmed at the Screening Visit by fulfilling one of the following criteria:
  • Postmenopausal defined as amenorrhoea for at least 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal range.
  • Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation.
• Have a Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m\^2 inclusive and weigh at least 50 kg and no more than 100 kg inclusive at Screening and admission.
