Eli Lilly and Company is conducting a study titled A Multiple Ascending Dose Phase 1 Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Intrathecally Administered LY4256984 in Participants With Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The study aims to evaluate the safety and side effects of LY4256984 in individuals with sporadic ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease.
The intervention being tested is LY4256984, administered intrathecally, meaning directly into the spine. This method is intended to assess how well the drug is tolerated and its pharmacokinetic properties in the human body.
The study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel intervention model. This means participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo, and neither the participants nor the investigators will know who receives which treatment. The primary purpose of this Phase 1 trial is to gather basic scientific data.
The study is not yet recruiting, with an estimated start date in September 2025. The primary completion and estimated completion dates have not been provided, but the last update was submitted in August 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipated milestones.
This study could potentially impact Eli Lilly’s stock performance positively if the results are favorable, as it would demonstrate progress in addressing ALS, a significant unmet medical need. Investors should watch for updates, as successful outcomes could enhance investor sentiment and position Eli Lilly favorably against competitors in the neurodegenerative disease market.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
