Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is twofold:

1. To evaluate the effect of LY2189265 on how the body absorbs a blood pressure lowering drug (lisinopril) in participants with high blood pressure who are currently taking lisinopril.
2. To evaluate the effect of LY2189265 on heart rate and blood pressure in healthy volunteers when taken with a Beta-blocker drug (metoprolol).

In Part 1, participants will receive four weekly injections of LY2189265 with continued use of normal lisinopril therapy.

Part 2 is a cross-over study design. Participants will receive a single injection of LY2189265 in one period, and seven daily doses of metoprolol and a single injection of LY2189265 in another period.

• Males and females with stable medical problems (including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [T2DM]) that, in the investigator's opinion, will not significantly alter the disposition of the drug, will not place the participant at increased risk by participating in the study, and will not interfere with interpretation of the data may be included
• Have been on oral antihypertensive medication (lisinopril daily [QD]) for at least 3 months prior to screening, have been on a stable dose for at least 1 month prior to screening, and are, in the investigator's opinion, able to safely adhere to a QD morning dosing regimen. Additional medication may be permitted as indicated

T2DM Participants (Part 1 only):

• Have T2DM controlled with diet or exercise alone or stable on a single oral agent antihyperglycemic medication (metformin, sulfonylureas, repaglinide, nateglinide, acarbose [or other disaccharidase inhibitors] or thiazolidinediones) for at least 3 weeks (3 months for thiazolidinediones) prior to admission
• Have a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) value of 6.0% to 9.5% at screening or within 4 weeks prior to screening
• Clinical laboratory test results within normal range or deemed clinically insignificant by the investigator. Abnormalities of serum glucose, serum lipids, urinary glucose, and urinary protein consistent with T2DM are acceptable

Part 2 only:

• Are overtly healthy, as determined by medical history and physical examination

Exclusion criteria

• Are currently enrolled in, have completed or discontinued within the last 30 days from, a clinical trial involving an investigational product; or are concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study

• Are participants who have previously completed or withdrawn from this study, or have taken part in any other study investigating LY2189265 or GLP-1-related compounds within the last 3 months
• Have an abnormality in the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) that, in the opinion of the investigator, increases the risks associated with participating in the study
• Have a history or presence of gastrointestinal disorder (including pancreatitis [history of chronic pancreatitis or idiopathic acute pancreatitis] or gall bladder disease) or gastrointestinal disease that impacts gastric emptying (GE) (e.g. gastric bypass surgery, pyloric stenosis) or could be aggravated by GLP-1 analogs (for example; esophageal reflux). Participants having had cholecystectomy (removal of gall bladder) in the past with no further sequelae, may be included in the study at the discretion of the screening physician
