The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how a medicine, LY3841136, works in participants with different levels of liver damage and in participants with healthy liver. The researchers want to see how the medicine is absorbed and used by the body, and if it causes any side effects, in participants with mild, moderate, or severe liver damage, as well as in participants with normal liver function. For each participant, the study will last about 14 weeks, which will include a stay at the clinical research unit for 5 nights.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (54/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
