NCT ID NCT05110794
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tested an experimental oral drug called LY3502970 in 34 healthy adults. Researchers measured how much of the drug gets into the blood and how the body processes it, both after eating and on an empty stomach. The main goals were to check safety and understand drug levels, not to treat any disease. The study lasted up to 49 days.
