A Study of LY3502970 in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes

April 30, 2026 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A Multiple-Dose Study in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics,and Pharmacodynamics of LY3502970

The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety of LY3502970 and any side effects that might be associated with it. Blood tests will be done to measure how much LY3502970 is in the bloodstream, how long it takes the body to eliminate it, and how it affects blood sugar. Participation could last up to 18 weeks and may include up to 14 visits (including three overnight stays) in the study center.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 66 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Have a body weight of ≥45 kilograms (kg) and have a body mass index of 18.5 to 45 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²), inclusive

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With One or More Serious Adverse Event(s) (SAEs) Considered by the Investigator to be Related to Study Drug
Time Frame: Baseline through Follow-up (up to Day 105)
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: Results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and other situations based on medical judgement. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious adverse events (AEs), regardless of causality, will be reported in the Reported Adverse Events module.
Baseline through Follow-up (up to Day 105)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
