Study to Investigate Safety and Tolerability Single Ascending Doses of AZD4017.

A Randomised, Single-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Centre Phase I Study in Healthy Japanese Male Volunteers to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of AZD4017 After Single Ascending Oral Doses

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerabilty of AZD4017 when given as single oral ascending doses to Japanese healthy male volunters. This will be done by comparing the effect of AZD4017 to placebo. The study will aslo investigate the absorption, distrubution and disappearance of AZD4017 in the body. Information about plasma concentrations of AZD4017 vs time after dose intake will also be collected. The future indication for AZD4017 is planned to be Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
