Experimental drug LY4268989 put to the test: does meal timing matter?
NCT ID NCT07707375
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests an experimental oral drug called LY4268989 (MORF-057) in 50 healthy adults. Researchers want to see if two different tablet forms are processed similarly by the body, and how meals affect that process. Participants will stay at a research unit for 18 overnight visits over about 9 weeks, with blood tests to track the drug's levels and safety.
