Brief Summary: AZD7594 is a non steroidal, potent and selective modulator of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) under development for once daily inhaled treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Abediterol is a novel and selective β2 adrenergic receptor agonist with the potential for once daily treatment of asthma and COPD in fixed dose combination (FDC) with an ICS or a novel anti inflammatory (AI) agent. This study will be the first clinical study for the combination exposure of AZD7594 with abediterol as 2 compounds in FDC or in free combination via 2 separate dry powder inhalers (DPIs). This study will be conducted in healthy male subjects to minimize the effects of concomitant disease states or medications on study measurements.
Detailed Description: AZD7594 is a non steroidal, potent and selective modulator of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) under development for once daily inhaled treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have not been definitively shown to decrease the rate of decline in lung function that is typical of COPD. The aim is to develop AZD7594 as a well tolerated once daily selective inhaled GR modulator with an acceptable side effect profile compared to conventional ICS on the market. Abediterol is a novel and selective β2 adrenergic receptor agonist with the potential for once daily treatment of asthma and COPD in fixed dose combination (FDC) with an ICS or a novel anti inflammatory (AI) agent Fixed dose ICS/LABA combination treatment is more effective in improving lung function, health status and reducing exacerbations than the individual components. The long term goal of abediterol development program in COPD is to investigate it both as a monotherapy and as a combination therapy in conjunction with an ICS or a novel anti inflammatory agent. This study will be the first clinical study for the combination exposure of AZD7594 with abediterol as 2 compounds in FDC or in free combination via 2 separate dry powder inhalers (DPIs). This study will be conducted in healthy male subjects to minimize the effects of concomitant disease states or medications on study measurements. Subjects will receive all 4 treatments in a randomized order. Given that the treatment in each period is a single dose of AZD7594, a 21 (±2) day wash out should be adequate to prevent carry over effect to next period. The abediterol elimination half life is shorter than that of AZD7594. Therefore, a 21 (±2) day wash out is sufficient for the elimination of both AZD7594 and abediterol. Overall, pre-clinical and clinical data generated to date with abediterol show expected safety profile, and support the continued studies with abediterol.
