About

The main purpose of this first-in-human study to investigate the safety of LY3839840 in single and multiple doses, and how it's processed in the body when given in different amounts.

Full description

The study will be conducted in five parts (A, B, C, D, and E) and each enrolled participant will receive a single dose (Parts A and C) or multiple dose (Parts B, C and D) of either LY3839840 or placebo. Part E will study midazolam alone and with LY3839840. The study will last up to approximately 7 weeks for parts A, C (single dose cohort), 8 weeks for parts B, D and C (multiple dose cohort), and up to 3 weeks for Part E.

Enrollment: 140 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

• Have a history or presence of multiple or severe allergies, anaphylactic reaction to prescription or nonprescription drugs, or history of significant atopy
• Have a significant history of or current rheumatologic, cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine (such as Cushing syndrome, hyperthyroidism, hyperaldosteronism), hematological, or neurological disorders capable of significantly altering the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs; of constituting a risk when taking the investigational medicinal product; or of interfering with the interpretation of data

• Have a history of a primary immunodeficiency, splenectomy, or any underlying condition that predisposes the participant to infection that, in the opinion of the sponsor or investigator, poses an unacceptable risk to the participant
• Have used, or intend to use, prescription or nonprescription medication within 14 days prior to dosing (or 5 half-lives - whichever is longer)
• Are currently enrolled in any other clinical study involving an investigational product or any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study
