Official title A Clinical Trial of LY3962681 in Healthy Volunteers and in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06565195
What this study is testing
What is LY3962681?
LY3962681 is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for parkinson's 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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of LY3962681 in healthy volunteers and patients with Parkinson's disease. The study consists of two parts, the Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study and the Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
