A Single Ascending Dose Study To Assess The Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics And Pharmacodynamics Of AZD9567.

This is a Phase I, first-in-human (FIH), randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose sequential group study in healthy male subjects. The objectives are to study the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and effects on glucose homeostasis (pharmacodynamics) of AZD9567, an oral differentiated non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM). The study will also assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of prednisolone 60 mg in comparison with high doses of AZD9567 and placebo.
