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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants with plasminogen level (concentration) within normal range at the Screening Visit.

Females of childbearing potential must not be lactating and if heterosexually active must agree to use an approved method of highly effective contraception.

Females of non-childbearing potential must be confirmed at the Screening Visit.

Disqualifiers

History of any clinically important disease or disorder.

History or presence of gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal disease or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.

Any clinically important illness, medical/surgical procedure, or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration of study intervention.

Participants with known bleeding or coagulation disorders.
