NCT ID NCT06280703

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-stage study tests an experimental drug called LY3938577 in healthy volunteers and people with type 1 diabetes. The main goals are to see how the body processes the drug and whether it can safely lower blood sugar. The study has four parts, comparing the drug to insulin or placebo, and will last up to 13 weeks per participant.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
LY3938577 (an experimental drug given by injection or infusion)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new option for managing blood sugar in type 1 diabetes, possibly reducing the need for insulin.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 118 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The drug may cause side effects or fail to work as hoped.

Parts B and C - * Have Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) for at least 2 years with a fasting C-peptide level of 0.20 Nanomoles Per Liter (nmol/L) or less, or nonfasting C-peptide level of 0.30 nmol/L or less at screening. * Have well-controlled HbA1c between 6.0% to 8.5 percent (%). * Insulin pump users with a total daily basal dose between 15 to 45 International Unit (IU). Part D - * Have T1DM for at least 1 year with a fasting C-peptide level of 0.20 nmol/L or less, or non-fasting C-peptide level of 0.30 nmol/L or less. * HbA1c between 6% to 8.5% inclusive. * Insulin pump users with a total daily basal dose between 15 to 45 International Unit (IU). * Insulin multiple daily injection users (glargine or degludec insulin) with a total daily insulin dose between 0.3 to \<1.2 (I)U/kg/day. * No hypoglycaemia unawareness. * Basal insulin dose that is between 30% to 70% of the total daily insulin dose * Are able to complete the exercise challenge test. All Parts - * Have normal blood pressure, pulse rate and safety laboratory test results that are acceptable for the study. * Have body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 35.0 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m²), inclusive, at screening. * Have venous access sufficient to allow for blood sampling. * Male and/or female not of childbearing potential. Exclusion Criteria: Parts B, C, and D - * Have had more than 1 emergency room visit or hospitalization due to poor glucose control (hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis) within the last 6 months prior to screening. * Have had any episodes of severe hypoglycemia (defined as requiring assistance due to neurologically disabling hypoglycemia), hypoglycemia unawareness, or both within the last 6 months prior to screening. Parts B and C - * Have been treated with Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RA), Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitor, Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) agonists, Metformin, or Sodium-Glucose Transport Protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors within the previous 3 months. * Have received systemic or inhaled glucocorticoid therapy (excluding topical, intraarticular, and intraocular preparations) for more than 14 consecutive days within 4 weeks before screening. Part D - • Have been treated with Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-IV) inhibitors, GLP-1 RA, GIP/GLP-1 RA, Metformin, Pramlintide, SGLT2 inhibitors, or Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin within the previous 3 months. All Parts - * Have had any of the following cardiovascular conditions: acute myocardial infarction, New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident (stroke). * Have gastroparesis or have undergone gastric bypass (bariatric) surgery or restrictive bariatric surgery (for example, Lap-Band®) prior to screening. * Have history of renal transplantation, currently receiving renal dialysis, have serum creatinine level of more than 2.00 milligrams per decilitre (mg/dL) or have an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60.0 milliliters (mL) / minute /1.73 square meters. * Have acute or chronic hepatitis, or obvious clinical signs or symptoms of any other liver disease except non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (that is, participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are eligible for participation), and/or have elevated liver enzyme measurements, as determined by the local laboratory at screening and as indicated: * Total bilirubin (TBL) \>2 × the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) in the absence of Gilbert's syndrome, or * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) /serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) \>2.5 × ULN, or * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) /serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) \>2.5 × ULN.
