AstraZeneca, in collaboration with Parexel International, is conducting a Phase IIb study titled A Phase IIb Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-centre, Dose-ranging Study of AZD3427 in Participants With Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Left Heart Disease (WHO Group 2). The study aims to assess the efficacy of AZD3427 in reducing pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension over 24 weeks, highlighting its potential significance in treating these conditions. The intervention being tested is AZD3427, administered as a subcutaneous injection. It is designed to target pulmonary hypertension by reducing vascular resistance, with the study evaluating three different dose levels of the drug. The study follows a randomized, parallel assignment model with triple masking, involving participants, care providers, and investigators. Its primary purpose is treatment-focused, aiming to determine the optimal dosing strategy for AZD3427. The study began on April 24, 2023, with an estimated completion date in July 2025. These timelines are crucial for tracking the progress and potential market introduction of AZD3427. The outcome of this study could significantly impact AstraZeneca's market position, potentially boosting its stock performance if results are positive. Investors will be keenly watching for updates, especially in the context of competitive treatments for heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.

Got the sniffles? Here's what to know about summer colds, COVID-19 and more
Summer heat, outdoor fun ... and cold and flu symptoms? The three may not go together in many people's minds: partly owing to common myths about germs and partly because many viruses really do have lower activity levels in the summer. But it is possible to get the sniffles — or worse — in the summer. U.S. federal data released Friday, for example, shows COVID-19 is trending up in many parts of the country, with emergency department visits up among people of all ages. Here's what to know about summer viruses. How much are colds and flu circulating right now? The number of people seeking medical care for three key illnesses — COVID-19, flu and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV — is currently low, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Flu is trending down and RSV was steady this week. But COVID-19 is trending up in many mid-Atlantic, southeast, Southern and West Coast states. The expectation is that COVID-19 will eventually settle into a winter seasonal pattern like other coronaviruses, but the past few years have brought a late summer surge, said Dr. Dean Blumberg, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at University of California Davis Children's Hospital. Other viruses circulating this time of year include the one that causes 'hand, foot and mouth' disease — which has symptoms similar to a cold, plus sores and rashes — and norovirus, sometimes called the stomach flu. Do viruses spread less in the summer? Many viruses circulate seasonally, picking up as the weather cools in the fall and winter. So it's true that fewer people get stuffy noses and coughs in the summer — but cold weather itself does not cause colds. It's not just about seasonality. The other factor is our behavior, experts say. Nice weather means people are opening windows and gathering outside where it's harder for germs to spread. But respiratory viruses are still around. When the weather gets too hot and everyone heads inside for the air conditioning, doctors say they start seeing more sickness. In places where it gets really hot for a long time, summer can be cold season in its own right. 'I grew up on the East Coast and everybody gets sick in the winter,' said Dr. Frank LoVecchio, an emergency room doctor and Arizona State University researcher. 'A lot of people get sick in the summer here. Why is that? Because you spend more time indoors.' Should you get another COVID-19 booster now? For people who are otherwise healthy, timing is a key consideration to getting any vaccine. You want to get it a few weeks before that big trip or wedding, if that's the reason for getting boosted, doctors say. But, for most people, it may be worth waiting until the fall in anticipation of winter cases of COVID-19 really tick up. 'You want to be fully protected at the time that it's most important for you,' said Dr. Costi Sifri, of the University of Virginia Health System. People at higher risk of complications should always talk with their doctor about what is best for them, Sifri added. Older adults and those with weak immune systems may need more boosters than others, he said. Are more younger kids getting sick with COVID-19? Last week, the CDC noted emergency room visits among children younger than four were rising. That makes sense, Blumberg said, because many young kids are getting it for the first time or are unvaccinated. U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in May that the shots would no longer be recommended for healthy kids, a decision that health experts have said lacks scientific basis. The American Academy of Pediatrics still endorses COVID-19 shots for children older than six months. How else can I lower my risk? The same things that help prevent colds, flu and COVID any other time of the year work in the summer, doctors say. Spend time outside when you can, wash your hands, wear a mask. And if you're sick, stay home.
