Recruiting PHASE1 Healthy

New treatment option for Healthy

Official title A Study of LY3938577 in Healthy Participants and Participants With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06280703

What this study is testing

What is LY3938577?

LY3938577 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for healthy.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The main purpose of this study is to look at the amount of the study drug LY3938577 that gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. At a later stage of this study (part B and C) the blood sugar lowering effect and the duration of action of LY3938577 will be evaluated compared to Insulin Degludec.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
