New drug aims to shield dialysis patients from deadly staph infections
NCT ID NCT06749457
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called AZD7760 in healthy volunteers and people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it. If it works, it could help prevent serious staph infections that often occur in dialysis patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AZD7760 (a drug given as a single intravenous infusion)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new way to prevent dangerous staph infections in people on dialysis, reducing hospital stays and complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase I/IIa) focused on safety and dosing, so it is not yet known if AZD7760 actually works. The drug may cause side effects or fail to show benefit in larger studies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Phase I: * Participant must be 18 to 55 years of age (inclusive), at the time of signing the informed consent. * Body weight ≥ 45 kilograms (kg) and ≤ 110 kg and Body Mass Index (BMI) within the range ≥ 18.0 to ≤ 30.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m2) (inclusive) at screening. * Healthy participants with no clinically significant concomitant diseases or medications (except for those specifically permitted by the protocol) according to medical history, physical examination, screening safety laboratory tests, and screening parameters, as per the judgement of the investigator. Phase IIa: * Participant must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent. * Participants who meet all of the following disease status requirements: 1. Diagnosed with End-stage kidney disease (ESKD). 2. Requiring hemodialysis through a tunneled central venous catheter as the primary vascular access for hemodialysis. 3. Receiving hemodialysis for treatment of ESKD for at least 60 days before randomization. 4. At least 3 previous dialysis sessions using current dialyzer. 5. Receiving adequate hemodialysis based on a single-pool Kt/V measurement \> 1.2 within the last 30 days. 6. No new medications have been added to the participant's regimen in the last 2 weeks prior to dosing. 'New medication' is defined as any medication that has not been prescribed or used by the participant previously (including formulation changes). Medication previously prescribed or used by the participant with dose adjustments is allowed and not considered as new medication for the purpose of this study. 7. Not taking long-term systemic antibiotics with activity against S aureus. Exclusion Criteria: Phase I: * Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study intervention * Previous hypersensitivity, infusion-related reaction, or severe adverse reaction following administration of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). * Clinically significant bleeding disorder (eg, factor deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder), or prior history of significant bleeding or bruising following intramuscular injections or venipuncture. * Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) above 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening. Testing may be repeated once at the investigator's discretion. * Estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation at screening. * Hemoglobin or platelet count below the lower limit of normal at screening. Testing may be repeated once at the investigator's discretion. * White blood cell counts outside normal reference ranges unless judged by the investigator to be out of range given the known variation in white blood cell count reference interval by ethnicity. Testing may be repeated once at the investigator's discretion. * History of malignancy other than treated non-melanoma skin cancers or locally treated cervical cancer in the previous 5 years. * Any laboratory value in the screening panel that, in the opinion of the investigator, is clinically significant or might confound analysis of study results. Testing may be repeated once at the investigator's discretion. * Any clinically significant abnormalities on 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) at screening, as judged by the investigator. * Acute (time-limited) illness, including fever ≥ 38 °C (100.4 °F), one day prior to or on day of planned dosing; participants excluded for transient acute illness may be dosed if illness resolves within the 28-day Screening Period or may be rescreened once. * Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, including any course of glucocorticoid therapy exceeding 2 weeks of prednisone or equivalent at a dose of 20 mg daily or every other day within 6 months prior to screening. * Any condition that has the potential to increase clearance of the study intervention (eg, protein loss conditions such as severe enteropathies, or plasmapheresis). * Blood drawn in excess of a total of 450 milliliters (mL) (1 unit) for any reason within 2 months prior to screening. * Absence of suitable veins for blood sampling and administration of study intervention. * Any other condition that would compromise safety of the participants. * Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with evaluation of the study intervention or interpretation of participant safety or study results. Phase IIa: * Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study intervention. * History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study intervention as listed in dose formulation section. * Previous hypersensitivity, infusion-related reaction, or severe adverse reaction following administration of mAbs. * Hemoglobin \< 9 g/dL at screening considered by the investigator to be due to acute condition(s). Testing may be repeated once at the investigator's discretion. * Serum albumin of \< 3 g/dL at screening considered by the investigator to be due to acute condition(s). Testing may be repeated once at the investigator's discretion. * Myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, stroke, seizure, or a thrombotic/thromboembolic event (eg, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, but excluding vascular access thrombosis) within 90 days prior to randomization. * Known S aureus infection within 90 days of study entry. * Known acute viral or bacterial infection or symptoms/signs consistent with such an infection within the 21 days prior to infusion or study intervention. Mild intercurrent viral illness with a temperature of 38.1 °C (100.6 °F) or less does not require exclusion, if in the judgement of the investigator this illness will not interfere with the evaluation of the mAb. * Participants with malignancy undergoing chemotherapy. * Scheduled date for living donor kidney transplant. * Plans to switch to peritoneal dialysis within the primary endpoint time period (181 days). * Regarding arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or arteriovenous graft (AVG): (a) Future AVG or AVG: (i) Participants with central venous catheters currently in use for dialysis, and future plans for AVF or AVG use within 90 days of randomization are not eligible. (ii) Participants with central venous catheters currently in use for dialysis, and future plans for AVF or AVG placement, but no plans for AVF or AVG use within 90 days of randomization are eligible. (b) Existing AVG or AVG: (i) Participants with central venous catheters in use for dialysis, but also with an existing AVF or AVG that is not in use and with no future plans for use are eligible.
