This is a study to investigate the effect of AZD0780 tablets on low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (LDL-C) compared with placebo tablets administered in combination with rosuvastatin tablets in adult Russian participants with dyslipidaemia. AZD0780 is a small molecule that reduces the amount of LDL-C in the blood. Placebo will be used for comparison, and neither the participants nor the Investigators will know who is receiving the AZD0780 medication and who is receiving the placebo until the end of study. The total length of the study for an individual participant will be up to 136 days, including a screening period of up to 14 days, rosuvastatin run-in period of 28 days, treatment with AZD0780 or placebo for 84 days, and a safety follow-up period of 10 days.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
AstraZeneca (AZN) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (16/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
