A Study of Healthy Subjects to Assess the Effect of LY450139 on Amyloid Beta Peptide Production Rate and or Dose Response.
This study has been completed.
Sponsored by: Eli Lilly and Company
Information provided by: Eli Lilly and Company
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00765115
  Purpose

To test that LY450139, a gamma-secretase inhibitor, will reduce the rate of newly synthesize Amyloid Beta by determining the amount of newly synthesized 13C6 leucine-labeled Amyloid Beta in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid from LY450139 treated subjects compared with placebo treated subjects.

Official Title: Assessment of LY450139-Mediated Inhibition of Amyloid Beta Formation Determined by 13C6-Leucine In Healthy Subjects

Further study details as provided by Eli Lilly and Company:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To test hypothesis that LY450139, a gamma-secretase inhibitor, will reduce the rate of synthesis of 13C6-leucine-labeled Aβ (newly synthesized) in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). [ Time Frame: 0-36 hours post dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To test the hypothesis that LY450139 has an effect on fractional clearance rate of Amyloid Beta assayed from CSF samples in LY450139-treated subjects compared to placebo-treated subjects. [ Time Frame: 0-36 hours post dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To study and evaluate other biomarkers, such as sAPPB and sAPPA that may enable drug effectiveness to be predicted. [ Time Frame: 0-36 hours post dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To measure concentrations of Amyloid Beta(1-40), Amyloid Beta(1-42), and leucine in CSF by mass spectrometry. [ Time Frame: 0-36 hours post dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To explore the relationship between Amyloid Beta plasma decrease and Amyloid Beta synthesis rate as determined by CSF measurements. [ Time Frame: 0-36 hours post dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
