Report from MRI performed within 3 months prior to screening with evidence of muscle inflammation b. Report from muscle biopsy performed within 3 months prior to screening that demonstrates active inflammation c. Report from electromyography performed within 3 months prior to screening that exhibits irritable myopathic pattern. (e) Intolerance or inadequate response to corticosteroids and ≥2 other SoC treatments, used for at least 3 months each, for which at least one must be a biologic SoC, immunoglobulin or cyclophosphamide. 4. Diagnosis of RA: (a) Diagnosis of RA as defined by the 2010 EULAR/ACR classification criteria (b) Positive for ≥ 1 disease-specific autoantibody performed by the central laboratory at screening: RF or ACPA (c) Moderate or severe disease activity defined as: (i) ≥6 tender joints and ≥6 swollen joints AND (ii) DAS28-CRP >3.2. (d) Intolerance to or inadequate response following approximately 3 month's treatment or longer to ≥2 b/tsDMARDs (with different mechanisms of action) after failing csDMARD therapy (unless csDMARD therapy is contraindicated). There is no minimum duration for taking a treatment in cases of intolerance.
Exclusion Criteria
- Any complications of the disease under study which are judged by the investigator to be life or organ threatening or to require treatments which are not permitted in the protocol, including but not limited to: 1. Active severe SLE-driven renal disease. 2. History of, or current diagnosis of, catastrophic or severe APS (for example diagnosis of an arterial or central/pulmonary venous clot) within 1 year prior to signing the ICF. 3. Rapidly progressive and/or severe ILD or ILD that requires oxygen supplementation/therapy (of any type). 4. Inclusion Body Myositis or cancer associated myositis. 2. Active severe, unstable or history of neuropsychiatric SLE. 3. IIM: Pulmonary function tests at screening (or within one month of screening, provided participant confirms no change in respiratory symptoms in the interim) which meet any of the following criteria: 1. FVC ≤60% of predicted 2. DLCO ≤70% of predicted 3. Deterioration in either FVC or DLCO at screening compared to pulmonary function tests performed ≥3 months previously. 4. Significant history of or at risk of severe infections. 5. Participants with HIV infection. 6. Participants with evidence of chronic or active hepatitis B defined as HBsAg positive or HBcAB positive 7. Participants with evidence of chronic or active hepatitis C 8. Participants with positive COVID-19 PCR. 9. Known history of a primary immunodeficiency, splenectomy, or any underlying condition that predisposes the participant to infection. 10.

Detailed Description
This is an open-label, multi-centre Phase I study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of AZD5492 in adult participants with either SLE or IIM or RA. The study consists of 2 parts: Part 1 - Single ascending dose (SAD) Part 1 will be a sequential SAD design in adult participants with SLE. Up to 5 dose levels of AZD5492 are planned to be investigated. Depending on emerging data, up to 4 additional dose levels may be added at the discretion of the Sponsor. The decision to open Part 2 will be made by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) based on the evaluation of all available data including safety, tolerability, PK, and PD from Part 1 and pertinent data arising from other ongoing studies with AZD5492 will also be considered, and the dose levels and dosing strategy for Part 2 will be confirmed. After a screening period of up to 42 days, participants will receive 1 dose of AZD5492 and be followed up for at least 179 days post-dose. Part 2 - Step-up dosing (SUD) Part 2 will be a SUD design in adult participants who have SLE (and did not participate in Part 1), as well as adult participants with IIM or RA. In Part 2, participants will receive 2 dose administrations, 7 days apart. The first (priming) dose of the step-up regimen will be agreed by the SRC. The second (target) dose will be escalated, and a minimum of 3 target dose levels are planned to be investigated in Part 2.
