Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of AZD5148 administered via intravenous (IV) bolus or intramuscular (IM) injection in healthy participants.

Description:

This is a first in human study which will be conducted at four clinical units. Participants will be randomized to receive AZD5148, or placebo administered by intramuscular (IM) injection into the lateral thigh muscle or intravenous (IV) bolus (single, discrete dose of a drug).

This study will include 7 dose cohorts, two of which will include exclusively participants of Chinese descent, Cohort 2b and 4b. Each dose cohort will begin with a Sentinel Group of 2 participants randomized 1:1 (AZD5148:placebo). The participants in the Sentinel Group will undergo a safety monitoring period of 24 hours before the remaining participants in that cohort are dosed. If there would be no safety concerns, the remaining participants in the cohort will be dosed in a 9:1 ratio (AZD5148: placebo). Each participant will be involved in the study for up to 56 weeks (including Screening Period).

The study will comprise:

• A Screening Period of maximum 28 days (Day -28 to Day -1 inclusive).

• A Treatment and Follow-up Period lasting 12 months after the administration of the study drug.

• Participants will be resident at the Clinical Unit from the day before study drug administration (Day -1) until all assessments are completed on Day 2.

• A final Follow-up Visit will occur within 361 ± 14 days after the study drug administration.

• Willing and able to complete the Follow-up Period through Day 361.

• Healthy Chinese participants - participants of Chinese descent are eligible based on meeting all of the following specific criteria for these two cohorts (Cohorts 2b and 4b):

1. Participant with Chinese ancestry, born in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan.

2. Participant is the descendant of 4 ethnic Chinese grandparents and 2 ethnic Chinese parents.

3. Participant has lived outside China for = 10 years at the time of Screening.

4. Exhibits no significant change in lifestyle, including diet, since leaving China.

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of any clinically important disease or disorder which 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.

• Any clinically important illness, medical/surgical procedure, or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration of study drug.

• History of malignancy other than treated non-melanoma skin cancers or locally treated cervical cancer in previous 5 years.

• Any medical history of symptomatic CDI within the prior 2 years.

• Any clinically important abnormalities in laboratory values, vital signs, clinical chemistry, hematology, or urinalysis results.

• Any positive result on Screening for serum Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV).

• Primary or acquired immunodeficiency, including HIV infection or due to drugs, including any course of glucocorticoid therapy exceeding 2 weeks of prednisone or equivalent within 6 months prior to Screening. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing must be negative at Screening Visit.

• Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of the resting 12-lead electrocardiogram, at Screening.

• Known or suspected history of alcohol or drug abuse within the past 2 years that might affect assessments of safety or ability of participant to comply with all study requirements.

• Positive screen for drugs of abuse, or alcohol at Screening or Day -1.

• History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing clinically important allergy/hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to the study drug.

• History of previous hypersensitivity, infusion-related reaction, or severe adverse reaction following administration of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).

• Previous receipt of a mAb within 6 months, or 5 antibody half-lives (whichever is longer), prior to the start of the study.

• 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.

• Receipt of immunoglobulin or blood products, or expected receipt, within 6 months prior to Screening or expected to receive during the study.

• Clinically significant bleeding disorder (e.g., factor VIII deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder), or prior history of significant bleeding or bruising following IM injections or venipuncture.

• Vulnerable participants, e.g., kept in detention, protected adults under guardianship, trusteeship, or committed to an institution by governmental or juridical order.
