About this study
Official title: The Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamic Effects of Multiple Escalating Doses of LY2409021 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The study drug LY2409021 is being evaluated as a possible treatment for diabetes. The primary purpose of this study is to help answer the following research questions, and not to provide treatment for diabetes :
- The safety of LY2409021 and any side effects that might be associated with it following 4 weeks of doses
- How long it takes the body to absorb and remove LY2409021 following dosing over 4 weeks
- How daily dosing of LY2409021 affects blood levels of sugar (glucose), insulin and other naturally occurring substances before and after a meal
- How LY2409021 works when given with metformin
- How daily dosing of LY2409021 affects the cells that produce insulin

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing LY2409021 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 2 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Singapore, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of participants with one or more drug related adverse events (AEs) or any serious AEs (time frame: From first dose of study drug up to discharge (at least 28 days after last dose)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01606397, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 May 2012.
