A Study of LY3981314 in Healthy Participants

May 18, 2026 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A Single-Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of LY3981314 in Healthy Participants

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of LY3981314 when administered subcutaneously (SC) (under the skin), and how it's processed in the body.

The study will last approximately 25 weeks, excluding a screening period with an optional extension to approximately 49 weeks for qualifying participants.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

  • Have a diagnosis or history of malignant disease
  • Have a history of a primary immunodeficiency, splenectomy, or any underlying condition that predisposes the participant to infection that, in the opinion of the sponsor or investigator, poses an unacceptable risk to the participant
  • Have had any significant infections within 3 months prior to the screening visit or develop any of these infections before the randomization visit
  • Have used, or intend to use, prescription or nonprescription medication within 14 days prior to dosing (or 5 half-lives - whichever is longer)
  • Have participated in a clinical study involving an investigational product within the last 30 days of the final drug administration (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer)

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

Number of Participants with One or More Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Event(s) (SAEs) Considered by the Investigator to be Related to Study Drug Administration
Time Frame: Baseline up to Approximately Week 25
A summary of TEAEs and SAEs regardless of causality, will be reported in the Reported Adverse Events module
Baseline up to Approximately Week 25

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.
