Brief Summary
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centre, sequential Phase II and Phase III study that will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and PK of AZD0780 administered orally for up to 52 weeks in participants with elevated LDL-C. The study consist of 2 separate parts (Part A and Part B) approximately 60 participants will be randomised in Part A. There will be 2 cohorts in Part B (approximately 220 participants in Cohort 1 and 100 participants in Cohort 2).
