About this trial
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple ascending doses of AZD4954 in healthy participants with or without elevated Lipoprotein(a) (Lp\[a\]) levels and participants with dyslipidemia.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Part A: Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
To assess the safety and tolerability of AZD4954 following oral administration of SAD (Part A).
Part B: Number of participants with AEs and SAEs
To assess the safety and tolerability of AZD4954 following oral administration of MAD (Part B).
Secondary outcomes
Part A: Area under concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf)
To characterize the single dose and/or steady state pharmacokinetics of AZD4954 following oral administration of AZD4954.
Area under concentration-curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)
To characterize the single dose and/or steady state pharmacokinetics of AZD4954 following oral administration of AZD4954.
Part B: Area under concentration-time curve in the dosing interval (AUCtau)
To characterize the single dose and/or steady state pharmacokinetics of AZD4954 following oral administration of AZD4954.
Dose normalized AUClast (AUClast/D)
To characterize the single dose and/or steady state pharmacokinetics of AZD4954 following oral administration of AZD4954.
