Drug-drug Interactions Between AZD4205 and Itraconazole/Carbamazepine

This is a Phase 1, single-center, nonrandomized, open-label, 2-part, fixed-sequence, drug-drug interaction (DDI) study to assess the effect of multiple doses of itraconazole, a CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitor, on the single dose PK of AZD4205 in healthy adult subjects (Part A) and to assess the effect of multiple doses of carbamazepine, a CYP3A4 inducer, on the single dose PK of AZD4205 in healthy adult subjects (Part B).
