A Study of LY3502970 in Healthy Overweight and Obese Participants
A Phase 1 study testing LY3502970 in people with Healthy and Obese, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 3 sites in United States.
Trial summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3502970 in healthy overweight and obese participants. The blood tests will be conducted to measure how much LY3502970 is in the bloodstream and how the body handles and eliminates LY3502970 in these participants. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Multiple Dose Study in Healthy Overweight and Obese Participants to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of LY3502970
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3502970 in healthy overweight and obese participants. The blood tests will be conducted to measure how much LY3502970 is in the bloodstream and how the body handles and eliminates LY3502970 in these participants. The study will last up to 42 days excluding the screening period.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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
A TEAE is an untoward medical occurrence that emerges during a defined treatment period, having been absent pretreatment, or worsens relative to the pretreatment state, and does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any adverse event from this study that results in one of the following: Death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, a life-threatening experience, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. An overall summary of SAEs and other non-serious adverse events, regardless of causality, will be reported in the Reported Adverse Events module.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing LY3502970 in people with Healthy and Obese, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 3 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 May 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
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 Day 42). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 May 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
