AstraZeneca ((AZN)), Parexel International ((PRXL)), AstraZeneca plc ((GB:AZN)), AstraZeneca ((DE:ZEGA)), AstraZeneca plc US ((AZNCF)) announced an update on their ongoing clinical study.

AstraZeneca, in collaboration with Parexel International, is conducting a Phase I clinical study titled A Phase I Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Immunogenicity of AZD1613 Following Single and Multiple Dose Administration in Healthy Participants. The study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AZD1613 in healthy individuals, including those of Japanese and Chinese descent, marking a significant step in the drug’s development.

The study tests AZD1613, a drug administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection or intravenous (IV) infusion, designed to assess its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The intervention involves both single and multiple doses to determine the drug’s safety profile.

This interventional study follows a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled design with a sequential intervention model. The primary purpose is treatment-focused, with participants unaware of their group allocation to ensure unbiased results.

The study began on June 6, 2025, with primary completion expected soon after. The latest update was submitted on August 14, 2025, indicating ongoing recruitment and progress.

The study’s progress could influence AstraZeneca’s stock performance, as positive outcomes may enhance investor confidence and market position. The involvement of Parexel underscores the study’s importance in the pharmaceutical landscape, potentially impacting industry dynamics.

The study is currently recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
