Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Assessment of adverse events (AEs) occurring during the study, blood pressure (supine and standing), pulse rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, laboratory variables and ECG [ Time Frame: Vital signs, laboratory variables and adverse event each day throughout the study Paper printout ECG and/or digital ECG throughout the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Assessment of psychometric rating scales ( VAMS, CDR test battery, DEQ, ARCI and Bond-Lader) [ Time Frame: Psychometric tests and VAMS (Visual Analogue Mood Scale) throughout the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
To investigate the PK profile (including dose proportionality) of AZD1940 by assessment of plasma concentrations [ Time Frame: Bloodsampling Day 1,6, 10 and 15 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Plasma levels of midazolam and 4ß hydroxycholesterol and 6β hydroxycortisol:cortisol urine excretion ratio as markers [ Time Frame: Bloodsampling at day -1, 14 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
