RESUMO
AIMS: Early clinical studies have indicated that the pharmacokinetics of Atuliflapon (AZD5718) are time and dose dependent. The reason(s) for these findings is(are) not fully understood, but pre-clinical profiling suggests that time-dependent CYP3A4 inhibition cannot be excluded. In clinical practice, Atuliflapon will be co-administered with CYP3A4 substrates; thus, it is important to determine the impact of Atuliflapon on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CYP3A4 substrates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Atuliflapon on the pharmacokinetics of a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam, and to explore if the time-/dose-dependent effect seen after repeated dosing could be an effect of change in CYP3A4 activity. METHODS: Open-label, fixed-sequence study in healthy volunteers to assess the PK of midazolam alone and in combination with Atuliflapon. Fourteen healthy male subjects received single oral dose of midazolam 2 mg on days 1 and 7 and single oral doses of Atuliflapon (125 mg) from days 2 to 7. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to assess this drug-drug interaction. RESULTS: Mean midazolam values of maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) to infinity were increased by 39% and 56%, respectively, when co-administered with Atuliflapon vs. midazolam alone. The PBPK model predicted a 27% and 44% increase in AUC and a 23% and 35% increase in Cmax of midazolam following its co-administrations with two predicted therapeutically relevant doses of Atuliflapon. CONCLUSIONS: Atuliflapon is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4; this was confirmed by the validated PBPK model. This weak inhibition is predicted to have a minor PK effect on CYP3A4 metabolized drugs.
RESUMO
AIMS: Mitiperstat is a novel, highly potent myeloperoxidase inhibitor being evaluated in patients with cardio-metabolic disease (phase 2). These patients often have impaired renal function, which may affect mitiperstat pharmacokinetics. This study assessed mitiperstat pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability in participants with severe renal impairment and normal renal function, to inform inclusion of participants with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 in phase 3. METHODS: Participants with severe renal impairment (eGFR ≥15 and <30 mL/min/1.73 m2) who were not on dialysis (n = 10) and group-matched controls (eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2; n = 10) received a single mitiperstat 2.5 mg oral tablet. Blood samples were collected at intervals for 2 weeks and urine samples for 24 h post-dose. RESULTS: Total apparent mitiperstat clearance was 10.83 L/h in the severe renal impairment cohort and 25.62 L/h in the control cohort. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve was 2.37-fold higher (90% confidence interval [CI]: 1.79, 3.12) in the severe renal impairment cohort than in the control cohort, with longer elimination half-life and similar maximum concentration. Non-renal clearance was similar between the cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: Mitiperstat apparent clearance was approximately twofold lower in individuals with severe renal impairment than in those with normal renal function. Lower clearance was driven by reduced renal clearance; non-renal clearance was similar. Mitiperstat was generally well tolerated by participants with severe renal impairment and normal renal function. These findings, together with efficacy and safety/tolerability data from phase 2b, will guide the dosing regimen for phase 3.
RESUMO
An absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion study was performed to determine the basic pharmacokinetic parameters, mass balance, and metabolite profiles of balcinrenone, a mineralocorticoid receptor modulator, in humans. This open-label, single-center, nonrandomized study had a two-period design. In period 1, eight healthy male subjects were dosed with a microtracer intravenous infusion of [14C]balcinrenone shortly after receiving an oral dose of unlabeled balcinrenone in a capsule. Following a 7-day washout, the same group of subjects subsequently received an oral dose of [14C]balcinrenone as a suspension in period 2. Clearance and absolute bioavailability of balcinrenone were determined to be 14.2 l/h and 52%, respectively. Renal clearance was determined to be 5.4 l/h (>fu ⢠glomerular filtration rate), indicating elimination via active tubular secretion, which was potentially mediated by P-glycoprotein 1 and/or organic anion transporter 3, according to in vitro transporter data. In total, 94.1% of the oral dose was recovered: 45.2% in the urine and 48.9% in the feces. Balcinrenone was primarily metabolized via oxidation, and in vitro data suggest that cytochrome P450 3A4 was the main enzyme responsible. Intact [14C]balcinrenone accounted for 55% of drug-related material in the plasma; four metabolites were identified, each representing <6% of the total plasma radioactivity. In conclusion, this two-period study has determined the basic pharmacokinetic parameters of balcinrenone in humans, including absolute bioavailability and disposition. No metabolites warranted further evaluation on account of their low representation, and any contribution to the pharmacodynamic response or potential drug-drug interactions was deemed negligible. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study provides a detailed understanding of the pharmacokinetics, disposition, and metabolism of balcinrenone following oral and microtracer intravenous administration in humans. In vitro phenotyping and transporter data granted mechanistic insights into the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties of balcinrenone. This knowledge will guide future nonclinical and clinical studies evaluating drug-drug interactions, organ dysfunction, and safety of metabolites.

This study evaluated the mass balance and disposition of AZD4831, a novel myeloperoxidase inhibitor, in six healthy participants using a 14C-labeled microtracer coupled with analysis by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). A single oral dose of 10 mg 14C-AZD4831 (14.8 kBq) was administered as a solution, and 14C levels were quantified by AMS in blood, urine, and feces over 336 hours postdose. AZD4831 was rapidly absorbed, and AZD4831 plasma concentrations declined in a biphasic manner, with a long half-life of 52 hours. AZD4831 was eliminated via metabolism and renal excretion. An N-carbamoyl glucuronide metabolite of AZD4831 (M7), formed primarily via UGT1A1, was the predominant circulating metabolite. Presumably, M7 contributed to the long half-life of AZD4831 via biliary elimination and hydrolysis/enterohepatic recirculation of AZD4831. On average, â¼84% of administered 14C-AZD4831 was recovered by 336 hours postdose (urine, 51.2%; feces, 32.4%). Between 32%-44% of the dose was excreted as unchanged AZD4831 in urine, indicating renal elimination as the major excretory route. Only 9.7% of overall fecal recovery was recorded in the first 48 hours, with the remainder excreted over 48%-336 hours, suggesting that most fecal recovery was due to biliary elimination. Furthermore, only 6% of unchanged AZD4831 was recovered in feces. Overall, the fraction of the administered AZD4831 dose absorbed was high. 14C-AZD4831 was well tolerated. These findings contribute to increasing evidence that human absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies can be performed with acceptable mass balance recovery at therapeutically relevant doses and low radiolabel-specific activity using an AMS-14C microtracer approach. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: In this study, the human absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (hADME) of the novel myeloperoxidase inhibitor AZD4831 was assessed following oral administration. This included investigation of the disposition of M7, the N-carbamoyl glucuronide metabolite. Resolution of challenges highlighted in this study contributes to increasing evidence that hADME objectives can be achieved in a single study for compounds with therapeutically relevant doses and low radiolabel-specific activity by using an AMS-14C microtracer approach, thus reducing the need for preclinical radiolabeled studies.

AIM: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may influence drug disposition due to surgery-induced gastrointestinal alterations and/or subsequent weight loss. The objective was to compare short- and long-term effects of RYGB and diet on the metabolic ratios of paraxanthine/caffeine (cytochrome P450 [CYP] 1A2 activity), 5-hydroxyomeprazole/omeprazole (CYP2C19 activity) and losartan/losartan carboxylic acid (CYP2C9 activity), and cross-sectionally compare these CYP-activities with normal-to-overweight controls. METHODS: This trial included patients with severe obesity preparing for RYGB (n = 40) or diet-induced (n = 41) weight loss, and controls (n = 18). Both weight loss groups underwent a 3-week low-energy diet (<1200 kcal/day, weeks 0-3) followed by a 6-week very-low-energy diet or RYGB (both <800 kcal/day, weeks 3-9). Follow-up time was 2 years, with four pharmacokinetic investigations. RESULTS: Mean ± SD weight loss from baseline was similar in the RYGB-group (13 ± 2.4%) and the diet group (10.5 ± 3.9%) at week 9, but differed at year 2 (RYGB -30 ± 6.9%, diet -3.1 ± 6.3%). From weeks 0 to 3, mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) CYP2C19 activity similarly increased in both groups (RYGB 43% [16, 55], diet 48% [22, 60]). Mean CYP2C19 activity increased by 30% (2.6, 43) after RYGB (weeks 3-9), but not in the diet-group (between-group difference -0.30 [-0.63, 0.03]). CYP2C19 activity remained elevated in the RYGB group at year 2. Baseline CYP2C19 activity was 2.7-fold higher in controls compared with patients with obesity, whereas no difference was observed in CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that CYP2C19 activity is lower in patients with obesity and increases following weight loss. This may be clinically relevant for drug dosing. No clinically significant effect on CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities was observed.

AIMS: Myeloperoxidase activity can contribute to impaired vascular endothelial function and fibrosis in chronic inflammation-related cardiovascular disease. Here, we investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the myeloperoxidase inhibitor, AZD4831. METHODS: In this randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, phase I, first-in-human study, healthy men in five sequential cohorts were randomized 3:1 to receive a single oral dose of AZD4831 (5, 15, 45, 135 or 405 mg) or placebo, after overnight fasting. After at least 7 days' washout, one cohort additionally received AZD4831 45 mg after a high-calorie meal. RESULTS: Forty men participated in the study (eight per cohort: AZD4831, n = 6; placebo, n = 2). AZD4831 distributed rapidly into plasma, with a half-life of 38.2-50.0 hours. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) increased proportionally with dose (AUC0-â slope estimate 1.060; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.9943, 1.127). Increases in maximum plasma concentration were slightly more than dose proportional (slope estimate 1.201; 95% CI 1.071, 1.332). Food intake reduced AZD4831 absorption rate but did not substantially affect overall exposure or plasma half-life (n = 4). Serum uric acid concentrations decreased by 71.77 (95% CI 29.15, 114.39) and 84.42 (58.90, 109.94) µmol L-1 with AZD4831 135 mg and 405 mg, respectively. Maculopapular rash (moderate intensity) occurred in 4/30 participants receiving AZD4831 (13.3%). No other safety concerns were identified. CONCLUSIONS: AZD4831 was generally well tolerated, rapidly absorbed, had a long plasma half-life and lowered uric acid concentrations after single oral doses in healthy men. These findings support the further clinical development of AZD4831.

OBJECTIVES: AZD1656 is a novel glucokinase activator with a postulated dual mechanism of action by activating glucokinase in both the pancreas and the liver, and with the potential to deliver effective glucose-lowering in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Here, we present the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AZD1656 in two single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies, one with Western and the other with Japanese healthy adult male subjects. METHODS: Both studies evaluated oral single ascending doses of AZD1656 of up to 180 mg, administered during euglycemic clamp conditions to explore a wide dose range without risking hypoglycemia. Safety, pharmacokinetics and effects on serum insulin and glucose infusion rate were assessed. A population pharmacokinetics analysis was also conducted. RESULTS: AZD1656 was well tolerated in single doses up to 180 mg in both populations. AZD1656 was rapidly absorbed, and a dose-proportional increase in total exposure was observed for AZD1656 and the equipotent metabolite, AZD5658. Taking differences in body weight into account, there were no differences in pharmacokinetic parameters between Western and Japanese subjects. A dose-dependent blood glucose lowering effect was indirectly demonstrated by the increased glucose infusion rate required to maintain euglycemia, which was of similar magnitude in both populations. Dose-dependent increases in insulin secretion were also observed. CONCLUSIONS: No safety concerns were raised. AZD1656 displayed uncomplicated pharmacokinetics and dose-dependent pharmacodynamics effects were observed. The results suggest no ethnic differences in AZD1656 tolerability, pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate in patients from China with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: In this open-label, repeat-dose, 5-day pharmacokinetic study (NCT03276078) of inhaled aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate 400/12 µg twice daily, plasma concentrations of aclidinium, formoterol, and two aclidinium metabolites (LAS34823, LAS34850) were assessed (days 1 and 5). Adverse event (AE) data were collected. RESULTS: Twenty patients (15 [75%] males) with a mean age of 59.2 years were included. Median (range) time to maximum concentration on days 1 and 5 was 0.08 (0.08-0.50) and 0.08 (0.08-0.50) h, respectively, for aclidinium; and 1.00 (0.08-3.00) and 0.08 (0.08-1.50) h, respectively, for formoterol. Mean elimination half-life and accumulation ratio for area under the concentration-time curve during a dosage interval (AUCτ) was 19.42 h and 2.0, respectively, for aclidinium; and 14.06 h and 1.4, respectively, for formoterol. Steady-state maximum concentration (Cmax,ss) and AUCτ on day 5 were 60.86 pg/mL and 168.80 h·pg/mL, respectively, for aclidinium; and 6.47 pg/mL and 31.98 h·pg/mL, respectively, for formoterol. Aclidinium produced high coefficients of variation (day 1: AUCτ 79.0%, Cmax 84.5%; day 5: AUCτ 82.2%, Cmax 150.0%). Few AEs were reported, typically one per patient. One patient discontinued due to a serious AE (considered possibly unrelated to treatment). CONCLUSIONS: Aclidinium/formoterol 400/12 µg twice daily was well-tolerated in patients from China with moderate-to-severe COPD. Safety findings were consistent with the known safety profile. CLINICAL TRIAL IDENTIFIER: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03276078.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: AZD5718, a 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor, is in clinical development for treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study evaluated AZD5718 pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability in healthy male Japanese subjects. METHODS: Four cohorts of eight Japanese subjects were randomized to receive oral doses of AZD5718 (60, 180, 360, and 600 mg) or matching placebo administered as a single dose on Day 1 and as once-daily doses from Day 3 to Day 10 in fasted conditions. Pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety data were collected. RESULTS: The pharmacokinetics characteristics of AZD5718 in Japanese male subjects were similar to those reported in a previous study, and the pharmacokinetics were characterized as rapid absorption with median time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax) of 1-2 h Creatine-normalized urine maximum concentration (Cmax) with mean half-lives ranging from 8 to 21 h, and supra-proportional increase in exposure over the 60-600 mg dose range evaluated. Also, an increase in steady-state area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) compared to the first dose was observed. After both single and multiple doses of AZD5718, a clear dose/concentration-effect relationship was shown for urinary leukotriene E4 (LTE4) versus AZD5718 exposure with > 80 % inhibition at plasma concentrations in the lower nM range. No clinically relevant safety and tolerability findings were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The observed pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were similar to reported data for non-Japanese healthy subjects, which support further evaluation of AZD5718 at similar doses/exposures in Japanese and non-Japanese subjects for future evaluation in patients with CAD and CKD.

We evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics of AZD4831, a novel oral myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor, in a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study, following once-daily multiple ascending dosing to steady-state in healthy subjects. Target engagement was measured as specific MPO activity in plasma following ex vivo zymosan stimulation of whole blood. Except for generalized maculopapular rash in 4 of 13 subjects receiving the 2 highest doses, 15 and 45 mg AZD4831, no clinically relevant safety and tolerability findings were observed. AZD4831 was rapidly absorbed and plasma concentrations declined slowly with an elimination half-life of ~ 60 hours. A dose/concentration-effect relationship between MPO inhibition vs. AZD4831 exposure was established with > 50% MPO inhibition in plasma at concentrations in the low nanomolar range. Steady-state levels were achieved within 10 days. Taken together, the PK profile, the sustained dose/concentration-dependent MPO inhibition, and available clinical data support further clinical development of AZD4831 in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

AZD5718 is a first-in-class small-molecule anti-inflammatory drug with the potential to reduce the residual risk of cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction in patients receiving lipid-lowering statin therapy. Leukotrienes are potent proinflammatory and vasoactive mediators synthesized in leukocytes via 5-lipoxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP). AZD5718 is a FLAP inhibitor that dose-dependently reduced leukotriene biosynthesis in a first-in-human study. We enrolled 12 healthy men in a randomized, open-label, crossover, single-dose phase 1 pharmacokinetic study of AZD5718 to investigate a potential drug-drug interaction with rosuvastatin, and the effects of formulation and food intake (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02963116). Rosuvastatin (10 mg) were absorbed more rapidly when coadministered with AZD5718 (200 mg), probably owing to weak inhibition of hepatic statin uptake, but relative bioavailability was unaffected (geometric least-squares mean ratio [GMR], 100%; 90% confidence interval [CI], 86%-116%). AZD5718 pharmacokinetics were unaffected by coadministration of rosuvastatin. AZD5718 (200 mg) was absorbed less rapidly when formulated as tablets than oral suspension, with reduced relative bioavailability (GMR, 72%; 90%CI, 64%-80%). AZD5718 absorption was slower when 200-mg tablets were taken after a high-fat breakfast than after fasting, but relative bioavailability was unaffected (GMR, 96%; 90%CI, 87%-106%). In post hoc pharmacodynamic simulations, plasma leukotriene B4 levels were inhibited by >90% throughout the day following once-daily AZD5718, regardless of formulation or administration with food. AZD5718 was well tolerated, with no severe or serious adverse events. These data supported the design of a phase 2a efficacy study of AZD5718 in patients with coronary artery disease.

Excessive activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) underlies the pathophysiology of heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Hyperkalemia risk limits the therapeutic use of conventional MR antagonists. AZD9977 is a nonsteroidal, selective MR modulator that may protect nonepithelial tissues without disturbing electrolyte balance. This phase I study investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of multiple oral doses of AZD9977 in healthy volunteers. Twenty-seven male participants aged 23-45 years were randomized 3:1 to receive oral AZD9977 or placebo for 8 days (with twice-daily dosing on days 2-7), in dose cohorts of 50, 150, and 300 mg (AZD9977, n = 6 per cohort; placebo, n = 3 per cohort). Adverse events occurred in 4 of 18 participants receiving AZD9977 (22.2%) and 6 of 9 receiving placebo (66.7%), all of mild or moderate severity; none were serious or led to withdrawal. AZD9977 was rapidly absorbed, with median time of maximum concentration of 0.50-0.84 hours across dose groups. Area under the curve and maximum concentration were approximately dose proportional but elimination and accumulation terminal half-life increased with dose. Steady-state was reached after 3-4 days, with dose-dependent accumulation of 1.2-1.7-fold. Renal clearance was 5.9-6.5 L/hour and 24-37% of AZD9977 was excreted in the urine. Serum aldosterone levels increased dose dependently from days -1 to 7 in participants receiving AZD9977, but serum potassium levels and urinary electrolyte excretion were unchanged. AZD9977 was generally well-tolerated with no safety concerns. Exploratory outcomes suggested reduced hyperkalemia risk compared with MR antagonists. These findings support further clinical development of AZD9977.

In this paper, experiences and learnings are shared from the 10-year application of incurred sample reanalysis (ISR) in support of the AstraZeneca small molecule portfolio. The conclusions from including ISR in every clinical bioanalysis study for a period of 5 years, generating ISR data from 550 studies, are shared. Our preclinical ISR approach is described and data generated using capillary microsampling demonstrate confidence in its routine application. The data demonstrate that ISR failures are very rare and the assessment can and should therefore be limited. Dialogue between the bioanalytical teams internally, as well as with the partner contract research organizations, is however critical for a successful bioanalytical method validation and to avoid any ISR failures.

INTRODUCTION: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GBP) is associated with changes in cardiometabolic risk factors and bioavailability of drugs, but whether these changes are induced by calorie restriction, the weight loss or surgery per se, remains uncertain. The COCKTAIL study was designed to disentangle the short-term (6 weeks) metabolic and pharmacokinetic effects of GBP and a very low energy diet (VLED) by inducing a similar weight loss in the two groups. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This open, non-randomised, three-armed, single-centre study is performed at a tertiary care centre in Norway. It aims to compare the short-term (6 weeks) and long-term (2 years) effects of GBP and VLED on, first, bioavailability and pharmacokinetics (24 hours) of probe drugs and biomarkers and, second, their effects on metabolism, cardiometabolic risk factors and biomarkers. The primary outcomes will be measured as changes in: (1) all six probe drugs by absolute bioavailability area under the curve (AUCoral/AUCiv) of midazolam (CYP3A4 probe), systemic exposure (AUCoral) of digoxin and rosuvastatin and drug:metabolite ratios for omeprazole, losartan and caffeine, levels of endogenous CYP3A biomarkers and genotypic variation, changes in the expression and activity data of the drug-metabolising, drug transport and drug regulatory proteins in biopsies from various organs and (2) body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors and metabolic biomarkers. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The COCKTAIL protocol was reviewed and approved by the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (Ref: 2013/2379/REK sørøst A). The results will be disseminated to academic and health professional audiences and the public via presentations at conferences, publications in peer-reviewed journals and press releases and provided to all participants. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02386917.

We evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AZD5718, a novel 5-lipooxygenase activating protein (FLAP) inhibitor, in a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, first-in-human (FIH) study consisting of single and multiple ascending dosing (SAD and MAD) for 10 days in healthy subjects. Target engagement was measured by ex vivo calcium ionophore stimulated leukotriene B (LTB4 ) production in whole blood and endogenous leukotriene E (LTE4 ) in urine. No clinically relevant safety and tolerability findings were observed. The AZD5718 was rapidly absorbed and plasma concentrations declined biphasically with a mean terminal half-life of 10-12 h. Steady-state levels were achieved after â¼3 days. After both SADs and MADs, a dose/concentration-effect relationship between both LTB4 and LTE4 vs. AZD5718 exposure was observed with concentration of half inhibition (IC50 ) values in the lower nM range. Based on obtained result, AZD5718 is considered as a suitable drug candidate for future evaluation in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

AIMS: To investigate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and safety of the glucokinase activator AZD6370 after 1 day of administration under fed and fasted conditions in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: This was a two-part study. In Part A, patients received a single oral dose of AZD6370 (20, 60 or 180 mg) or placebo in the fasted or fed states (both n=8). In Part B, patients (n=8) received placebo and a total dose of AZD6370 180 mg given in one, two or four divided doses. Plasma glucose, insulin and C-peptide changes versus placebo were assessed. RESULTS: AZD6370 provided dose-dependent reductions in plasma glucose of up to 30% versus placebo in both fasted and fed patients (p<0.001 at 60 and 180 mg doses). Insulin secretion increased with dose, but absolute increases were relatively small in the fasted versus fed state (0-4 h). Dosing AZD6370 twice or four-times over 1 day gave a smoother 24-h glucose profile than single-dose. AZD6370 was rapidly absorbed. Pharmacokinetics of AZD6370 were dose-independent and unaffected by food. AZD6370 was generally well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: AZD6370 produced dose-dependent glucose reductions and increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in patients with T2DM.
