The Sponsor is developing a new test medicine, AZD0780, with the aim to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, fatty deposits) levels and cardiovascular (heart disease) risk, when given on top of standard care. High levels of LDL-C can build up on the walls of blood vessels, forming plaques which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.~This two-part healthy volunteer study will try to identify how the test medicine is taken up, broken down and removed from the body.~To help investigate this, the test medicine is radiolabelled, which means that the test medicine has a radioactive component (carbon-14; also referred as 14C) which helps us to track where the test medicine is in the body. The safety and tolerability of the test medicine will also be studied.~This study will take place at one non-NHS site, enrolling up to 8 male volunteers aged between 30 and 55 years.~In Part 1, volunteers will receive a single oral dose of AZD0780 on Day 1. The volunteers will then receive a single intravenous dose of [14C]AZD0780, 2.25 hours after the oral dose. Volunteers will be discharged on Day 8. Following a minimum 14 day washout period, all volunteers who participated in Part 1 of the study will be admitted to the clinical unit for Part 2. In Part 2, the volunteers will receive a single oral dose of [14C]AZD0780 on Day 1. Volunteers will be discharged on Day 11, however, if relevant radioactivity criteria have not been met, volunteers may need to remain at the clinical unit until Day 13. If relevant criteria have not been met at this point, home collections of urine and/or faeces may be required.~Volunteers will receive a follow up phone call between Day 18 and 21.~Volunteer's blood and urine and faeces will be taken throughout the study for analysis of the test medicine and for their safety.~Volunteers are expected to be involved in this study for 10 weeks from screening to the follow up call.
