Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is an open-label,partially randomized, four-period study in healthy male subjects to assess the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of AZD7594 when administered intravenously, orally and inhaled via two different dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and a pressurized meter-dose inhaler (pMDI)

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Asthma; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)	Drug: AZD7594 Solution for infusion (150 μg intravenous formulation); Drug: AZD7594 Oral suspension (1200 μg oral formulation); Drug: AZD7594 Inhalation powder (400 μg) by DPI Device 1 (monodose inhaler); Drug: AZD7594 Inhalation powder (400 μg) by DPI device 2 (multiple-dose inhaler); Drug: AZD7594 Pressurized inhalation suspension (400 μg) by pMDI	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

This study is an open-label, partially randomized, 4-period, 5-treatment study in healthy male subjects, performed at a single study center. All subjects will receive the 4 of the 5 treatments. The IV infusion will be fixed as the first treatment (Period 1), the Monodose inhaler will be fixed as the second treatment (Period 2) and the oral formulation will be fixed as the fourth treatment (Period 4). During Period 3, subjects are split into 2 equal cohorts, multiple-dose DPI and pMDI.
