This is a randomised, double blind, multi-centre, double dummy, and two-way cross-over study.~There will be a total of three cohorts. Each cohort will be treated for two 72-hour periods in a cross-over design, with a 3-week washout period between treatment periods. The total length of participant engagement (from screening to follow-up) is 79 days.
The study is intended to assess the effect on glycaemic control of AZD9567, as measured by the glucose AUC(0-4) versus baseline following a standardised mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), compared to prednisolone in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9567.
