ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a new medication called AZD7798 affects the way a special imaging agent, called [11C]AZ14132516, is taken up in the intestines of patients with Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease is a condition that causes inflammation in the digestive tract, and this study aims to see if AZD7798 can help improve this inflammation.

To participate, individuals need to be between 20 and 80 years old and have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease affecting the small intestine or colon for at least six months. Participants must have evidence of active disease, as shown through various medical tests. If someone joins the study, they can expect to receive multiple doses of AZD7798 and undergo imaging tests to track changes in their condition. It's important to note that certain health conditions or recent treatments may prevent someone from being eligible for the study. Overall, this trial is a step towards understanding new treatment options for Crohn's disease and improving patients' lives.

Eligibility criteria

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Participant must be ≥ 20 to 80 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • Participants with confirmed Crohn's disease with small bowel involvement (Montreal terminal ileum \[L1\] or ileocolon \[L3\]) per study gastroenterologist (diagnosed via combination of clinical findings and at least one of endoscopy and/or histology and/or imaging) with diagnosis made at least 6 months before screening.
  • * Participants with active Crohn's disease as determined by one of the following:
  • 1. Evidence of active inflammation on cross-sectional imaging (CT, MRI or bowel ultrasound scan) or endoscopy within 6 months before screening OR EITHER
  • 2. If no cross-sectional imaging or endoscopy performed within 6 months before screening, a bowel ultrasound scan may be performed to confirm active disease OR
  • 3. If no cross-sectional imaging or endoscopy performed within 6 months before screening, elevated faecal calprotectin AND CRP

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Other form of IBD or concomitant, additional, active GI luminal inflammatory diseases.
  • CMV colitis within 12 months before screening.
  • Crohn's complications including short bowel syndrome, strictures that are symptomatic or with pre-stenotic dilatation or other conditions where surgery anticipated during study period.
  • Planned bowel or perianal surgery within 6 months before screening.
  • Bowel resection surgery within 6 months before screening.
  • Undrained fistula or abscess (including active perianal disease).
  • Positive Clostridium difficile toxin test during screening.
  • Current significant major or unstable respiratory disease, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, haematological disease, hepatic disease, renal disease, GI disease, or other major diseases other than active Crohn's disease and associated extra-intestinal manifestations.
  • Ongoing psychiatric conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator, precludes study participation.
  • History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing clinically important allergy/hypersensitivity, as judged by the Investigator, or history of hypersensitivity to biologic therapies.
  • Participants with unstable hypertension (as judged by the Investigator) or symptomatic hypotension, history of pre-syncope or syncope due to orthostatic hypotension and/or induced by change of posture.
  • Significant abnormalities on clinical examination, including neurological and physical examination, vital signs, and ECG, other than signs of Crohn's disease.
  • Clinical chemistry, haematology, or urine analysis results that may interfere with the study or present a safety risk to the participant.
  • Abnormal vital signs, after 10 minutes of supine rest as judged by the Investigator.
  • Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of resting ECG that may interfere with the interpretation of QTc changes.
  • Positive hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV serology
  • Treatment with an anti-TNF within 8 weeks of the first dose and throughout the study period, before the first dose and throughout study period, unless therapeutic drug monitoring is performed, and drug concentrations are undetectable.
  • Treatment with any biologic, other than an anti-TNF (including vedolizumab and ustekinumab) within 12 weeks prior to first dose and throughout the study period, unless therapeutic drug monitoring is performed, and drug concentrations are undetectable.
  • Treatment with rituximab within 12 months before first dose and throughout the study period.
  • Treatment with Sphigosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators or Janus kinase inhibitors within 4 weeks before first dose and throughout the study period.
  • Treatment with apheresis (eg, Adacolumn, Cellsorba) within 2 weeks prior to first dose and throughout the study period.
  • Treatment with corticosteroids at a total daily dose of greater than 20 mg prednisone or equivalent (greater than 9 mg budesonide).
  • Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or site staff).
  • Judgement by the Investigator that the participant should not participate in the study if the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
  • Suffers from claustrophobia that limits the ability to undergo the scanning procedure.
  • Positive SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test at screening.
  • Any other reason that, in the study Investigator opinion, prohibits the inclusion of the participants into the study.
  • Judgement by the Investigator that the participant should not participate in the study if the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
  • Live or attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before screening and until 12 weeks after the end of the follow-up period (1 year for Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination).
  • An active infection, or history of serious infection within 28 days before screening.
  • History of symptomatic herpes simplex (excluding cold sores) or herpes zoster infection within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Positive or indeterminate TB QuantiFERON test performed within 1 year of screening (without known interval exposure to TB) or during screening period unless evidence of completion of full treatment course for latent TB with no clinical symptoms or signs indicative of re activation.
  • Chest x-ray with signs of malignancy or latent or active TB infection performed within 1 year of screening (without known interval exposure to TB) or during screening period.
  • Has received another new chemical entity (defined as a compound which has not been approved for marketing) within 30 days/5 half-lives, whichever is longer, of the first administration of IMP in this study. The period of exclusion begins 30 days/5 half-lives after the final dose, whichever is longer, .
  • * Current malignancy or history of malignancy, except for:
  • 1. Basal cell carcinoma, localised squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are eligible provided that the participant is in remission and curative therapy was completed at least 12 months prior to screening.
  • 2. Other non-GI malignancies are eligible provided that the participant is in remission and curative therapy was completed at least 5 years before screening.
  • For females only: Currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test) or breastfeeding.
