Major Depressive Disorder

Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to confirm that LY2216684 is not an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) in healthy participants using theophylline as a probe substrate for the enzyme. Because LY2216684 has been observed to increase heart rate in some healthy participants, this study will also assess heart rate when coadministered with theophylline.

Inclusion criteria

* Are overtly healthy males or females, as determined by medical history and physical examination. * Male participants - Agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study and for 1 month following the last dose of study drug. * Female participants - Are women of child-bearing potential who test negative for pregnancy at the time of enrollment, have used a reliable method of birth control for 6 weeks prior to administration of study drug and agree to use a reliable method of birth control both during the study and for 1 month following the last dose of study drug; or are women not of child-bearing potential due to surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation) or menopause (at least 1 year without menses or 6 months without menses and a follicle stimulating hormone \[FSH\] \>40 mass International Units per milliliter \[mIU/mL\]). * Have body weight \>50 kilograms (kg). * Have clinical laboratory test results within normal reference range for the population or investigator site, or results with acceptable deviations that are judged to be not clinically significant by the investigator. * Have venous access sufficient to allow blood sampling as per the protocol. * Have normal sitting blood pressure and pulse rate as determined by the investigator. * Are reliable and willing to be available for the duration of the study and are willing to follow study procedures. * Have given written informed consent approved by Lilly and the ethical review board (ERB) governing the site.

Exclusion criteria
