New treatment option for Alzheimer Disease

Official title A First-In-Human Study of LY3954068 in Participants With Early Symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06297590

What this study is testing

What is LY3954068?

LY3954068 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for alzheimer disease.

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 evaluate the safety of LY3954068 in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The study will also investigate how much LY3954068 gets into the bloodstream and will test the effects of LY3954068 on markers of AD.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
