Overview

A Single-Ascending and Repeated Dose Study of LY3849891 in Participants With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Status:
Not yet recruiting
Trial end date:

Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
All
Summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug LY3849891 in participants with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease who have the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) I148M genotype. Blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging of the liver will be performed to determine the effects of LY3849891 on fatty liver disease. Blood tests will also determine how long it takes the body to eliminate LY3849891. This is a 2-part study and may last up to 32 weeks for each participant and may include 12 and 13 visits in parts A and B, respectively.
