AZD8871 is a novel inhaled long acting dual pharmacology muscarinic antagonist/ β2 adrenoceptor agonist (MABA) bronchodilator for COPD/asthma. In this study, the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AZD8871 following repeat-dose administration were tested for the first time.
3 cohorts of 8 healthy male volunteers each received a single dose of AZD8871 or placebo on Day 1, followed by a 3-day washout and once daily dosing on Days 5-16. In each cohort, 6 subjects received 300, 600 and 900 µg and 2 received placebo. All treatments were administered by a dry-powder inhaler.
There were no serious AEs and no stopping criteria were met. The most frequent adverse events (AE) was headache (25% subjects). No dose-response was observed with any specific AE. No clinically relevant laboratory, ECG or vital signs results were reported except for dose-dependent effect on heart rate registered by digital ECGt on Day 16. No safety concerns were raised.
Dosing remained below pre-specified human exposure limits and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. AZD8871 was rapidly absorbed (median tmax 1.5h -1.52h). Dose proportionality was observed and steady state was achieved within 8 days of repeat dosing. Accumulation after multiple dosing of AZD8871 was seen for AUCτ (Rac 1.4-1.7) and to a minor extent for Cmax (Rac 1.02-1.12). Mean terminal elimination half-life after multiple dosing ranged 62-79h.
The results support further clinical development of AZD8871.
