a study of ly2216684 and theophylline in healthy subjects

Conditions: Major Depressive Disorder

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.
