Brief summary

The purposes of this study are to determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LY2963016 compared to those of basal insulin. The study will also gather information on the safety and tolerability of LY2963016 in healthy participants. Each study period will be approximately 8.5 days (1.5 days for treatment and 7 day washout period). There are 4 study periods.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Maximum Glucose Infusion Rate (Rmax)1 hour predose up to 24 hours postdose in all treatment periodsRmax is the maximum infusion rate of glucose administered intravenously needed to maintain target blood glucose level and is used to measure the study drug action over time as measured by the euglycaemic clamp procedure. During the euglycaemic clamp procedure, blood glucose concentrations are held constant after the administration of LY2963016 or Lantus by adjusting the exogenous glucose infusion rate. Data presented were adjusted by the body weight.
Total Amount of Glucose Infused (Gtot) Over the Duration of Clamp Procedure1 hour predose up to 24 hours postdose in all treatment periodsGtot is the total glucose infusion over the clamp duration and is used to measure the study drug action over time as measured by the euglycaemic clamp procedure. During the euglycaemic clamp procedure, blood glucose concentrations are held constant after the administration of LY2963016 or Lantus by adjusting the exogenous glucose infusion rate. Data presented were adjusted by the body weight.
