Study summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of gemfibrozil, ketoconazole, and clarithromycin on how much LY2409021 is found in the bloodstream and how long the body takes to get rid of it. The study is split into two parts, Part A and Part B. Participants in Part A are divided into two cohorts (groups). Each cohort will participate in two study periods. Period 1 involves a single dose of LY2409021. Period 2 involves either gemfibrozil or ketoconazole given daily for 21 days with LY2409021 given once on Day 4. Part A will last for 51 days and will also involve screening within 27 days of the start of the study. Part B is only open to participants who successfully completed Part A of the study. Participants in Part B will receive clarithromycin given daily for 21 days with LY2409021 given once on Day 4. Part B will last for 29 days and will also involve screening within 27 days of the start of the study.

Part B was added to the trial in August 2013, per protocol amendment.

The record gives a start of May 2013, a primary completion of Nov 2013 and a completion of Nov 2013. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Mar 2019, 5 years 4 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 8, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
