A Study to Evaluate the Amount of Drug That Becomes Available to the Blood Circulation When Inhaled by a Nebulizer and Dry Powder Inhaler in Healthy Subjects.

This study will be an open-label, randomised, 3 period, 3-treatment, crossover study in healthy subjects (males and females), performed at a single clinical unit.

The study will comprise:

• A screening period of maximum 28 days;
• Three treatment periods during which subjects will be resident from the morning (fasting conditions) of the day before dosing with AZD7594 (Day -1) until at least 48 hours after dosing; discharged on the morning of Day 3;
• Two ambulatory visits (Day 4 and Day 5) within each treatment period; and
• A final visit 10 to 14 days after the last administration of AZD7594.
• There will be a minimum washout period of 10 days between each dose administration.

A total of 24 subjects will be randomised to receive single doses of AZD7594 on 3 occasions, under fasted conditions (overnight fast of at least 10 hours):

• Treatment A: 0.7 mg (delivered dose) AZD7594 via nebulizer, test
• Treatment B: 1.6 mg (delivered dose) AZD7594 via nebulizer, test
• Treatment C: 720 μg (delivered dose) AZD7594 via dry powder inhaler (DPI), reference

Each subject will be involved in the study for approximately 10 to 12 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must be stable on their chosen method of highly effective birth control for a minimum of 3 months prior to Visit 1, and willing to use that for the entire duration of the study (from the time they sign the informed consent), and for 14 days after the last dose of IMP. They must agree not to become pregnant or donate ova throughout the study and for 14 days after the last dose of IMP. Male subjects must be surgically sterile or be willing to use a condom during the study.
• Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 29.9 kg/m2 (inclusive) and weigh at least 50 kg and no more than 100 kg (inclusive).
• Subject is able to understand and communicate in German.

Exclusion criteria

• Any clinically significant illness, medical/surgical procedure, or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration of IMP.
• Any clinically significant abnormalities in clinical chemistry, haematology, or urinalysis results, at screening and first admission to the study unit (first treatment period) as judged by the PI.
• Any clinically significant abnormal findings in vital signs at screening and first admission to the study unit (first treatment period), as judged by the PI, and defined as:

• Systolic BP <90 mmHg or ≥140 mmHg and diastolic BP <50 mmHg or ≥90 mmHg
• Heart rate <50 bpm or >90 bpm
• Any clinically significant abnormalities on 12-lead ECG at screening and first admission to the study unit (first treatment period), as judged by the PI, and defined as:

• Sick sinus syndrome
• Arrhythmia
• Prolonged QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula > 450 ms
• Any positive result at screening for serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) results.
• Has received another new chemical entity (defined as a compound which has not been approved for marketing) within 3 months of the first administration of IMP in this study. The period of exclusion begins 3 months after the final dose or 1 month after the last visit whichever is the longest. Note: subjects consented and screened, but not randomised in this study or other clinical studies, are not excluded.
• Plasma donation within 1 month of screening or any blood donation/loss more than 500 mL during the 3 months prior to screening.
• History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing allergy/hypersensitivity to AZD7594 or formulation excipients, as judged by the PI or history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to AZD7594.

Note: subjects with hay fever are allowed to participate, unless hay fever is active

• Current smokers or those who have smoked or used nicotine products (including e-cigarettes; >10 pack-year) within the 6 months prior to screening.
