LY4064912 for healthy adults and people with overweight or obesity

A Phase 1, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of LY4064912 in Healthy Participants and Participants With Overweight or Obesity

PHASE1 · Eli Lilly and Company · NCT07152002

This study will test LY4064912 given by injection under the skin or by IV in healthy adults and in adults with overweight or obesity to see how safe it is and how the body handles the drug.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1, interventional study enrolls healthy participants and adults with overweight or obesity across BMI-defined cohorts to characterize safety and how the drug is processed. Participants will receive LY4064912 or placebo administered subcutaneously or by intravenous infusion, with clinical monitoring and blood sampling. The protocol includes strict eligibility, weight-stability requirements, and routine laboratory and cardiac monitoring to detect adverse effects. Results will inform dosing, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics for later-stage research.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults who meet the protocol age and BMI windows (for example, Singapore sites enroll ages 21–65; cohort BMI ranges include 21–<30, 21–<35, and 27–<45 kg/m²), weigh ≥60 kg when required, have had stable weight for 3 months, and have normal safety laboratory results are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: People with significant cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematologic, or neurologic disorders that affect drug absorption, metabolism, or safety, as well as those outside the BMI or lab criteria, are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, LY4064912 could become a new injectable option to explore for managing physiology related to overweight and obesity and guide further development.

How similar studies have performed: Other injectable obesity medications, such as GLP‑1 receptor agonists, have shown meaningful weight-loss effects in prior trials, but LY4064912 is a novel investigational agent that has not yet been proven effective.
