Study Summary

This is a Phase 1, single-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2 fixed sequences, multiple dose study in healthy male and/or female recreational opioid users. This study is being primarily conducted to assess the effect on respiratory drive of morphine administered after multiple doses of AZD4041 compared to morphine administered alone in healthy recreational opioid users. The study will include up to 44 participants who will be randomized to either AZD4041 and morphine (28 participants) or placebo and morphine (16 participants). This is to ensure completion of at least 36 participants (24 AZD4041 + morphine, and 12 Placebo + morphine on Day 15). The total study duration will be up to 54 days (including screening) per participant.

Primary Outcome

ETCo2 measurement is performed in the clinical pharmacology setting studies for the evaluation of respiratory function. EtCO2 is monitored and measured using a standardized methodology and configuration using MICROSREAM\^TM consumables to sample gas via nasal cannulae and the CAPNOSTREAM\^TM20P bedside monitor according to Altasciences SOP on Capnography. Using this configuration, for the spontaneously breathing healthy volunteer participant, baseline EtCO2 measurements is expected to fall withi
