in Healthy Participants 
Brief Title: Bioequivalence Study to Compare the PK of Tirzepatide Administered by Fixed-
Dose Multi-use Prefilled Pen Versus Single-Dose Pen in Healthy Participants 
Regulatory Agency Identifier Number(s): IND128801 
Rationale: 
Study I8F-MC-GPIP (GPIP) will assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of a 
5-mg subcutaneous (SC) dose of tirzepatide solution formulation administered via fixed-dose 
multi-use prefilled pen (MUPFP) (test) versus a single-dose pen (SDP) (reference). The SDP 
autoinjector device is the currently approved commercial single-dose, single-use pen 
presentation of tirzepatide, while the MUPFP is being developed as an alternative multi-dose 
option. This study will provide PK bioequivalence data for tirzepatide when it is administered 
via the MUPFP versus the SDP device.

Brief Summary of Study Design: 
Study GPIP is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study 
conducted in healthy participants. 
Study Population:  
Healthy participants. 
Number of Participants: 
Approximately 65 participants will be enrolled so that at least 54 participants complete the study.  
Intervention and Planned Duration for an Individual Participant: 
The study involves a comparison of: 
 a single dose of 5 mg tirzepatide administered SC via MUPFP 
 a single dose of 5 mg tirzepatide administered SC via SDP 
The study duration for individual participants, inclusive of screening is expected to be 
approximately 14 weeks, divided as follows: 
 Screening: up to 27 days prior to Day -1 
 Treatment Periods 1 and 2: Day 1 to Day 36, including single dosing with tirzepatide on 
Day 1 of each period 
 Washout: there will be a washout of at least 35 days between tirzepatide dose 
administrations 
 Follow-up: Period 2, Day 36 (±1) will be considered as the final follow-up visit 
Ethical Considerations of Benefit/Risk:  
As of 26 September 2022, tirzepatide (MOUNJARO™) was approved in the US, EU, and Japan 
as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes 
mellitus. Risks of tirzepatide have been consistent with risks associated with other glucagon-like 
peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists that are currently marketed. Potential risks include, but are not 
limited to, gastrointestinal effects, acute pancreatitis, increases in heart rate, and hypoglycemic 
events (GLP-1 receptor agonist class effect), which are all monitorable. 
There is no anticipated therapeutic benefit in healthy participants.

2. 
Introduction  
2.1. 
Study Rationale  
As of 26 September 2022, tirzepatide (MOUNJARO™) received regulatory approval in the US, 
EU, and Japan. Tirzepatide is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic 
control in adults with T2DM. In addition, it is being developed as a therapy for the indications of 
chronic weight management, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, obstructive sleep apnea, and heart 
failure with preserved ejection fraction. It is administered QW through SC injection. 
Study I8F-MC-GPIP (GPIP) will assess the PK, safety, and tolerability of a 5-mg SC dose of 
tirzepatide solution formulation administered using the MUPFP (test) versus the SDP 
(reference). 
The SDP is the currently approved commercial presentation of tirzepatide. The fixed-dose 
MUPFP is being developed as an alternative option for future commercialization. 
2.2. 
Background  
Tirzepatide (LY3298176) is a GIP and GLP-1 RA. It is a 39 amino acid synthetic peptide with 
agonist activity at both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Its structure is based on the GIP sequence 
and includes a C20 fatty di-acid moiety that prolongs the duration of action. It is administered 
QW through SC injection in a SDP.  
Tirzepatide has a chemical structure and pharmacologic profile, ie, distinct from GLP-1 RAs due 
to the additional effects on GIP receptor, which is unique compared to the marketed incretin 
mimetics. As an agonist, tirzepatide combines the signaling of each receptor for improved 
glycemic control (Coskun et al. 2018). By virtue of being an agonist incretin mimetic, tirzepatide 
has the potential for reaching higher efficacy in target tissues such as the insulin-producing 
pancreatic β cells that express both GIP and GLP-1 receptors before reaching its therapeutic 
limitation, which supports its use as a treatment for T2DM.  
A solution formulation of tirzepatide for injection in a SDP was developed for QW SC 
administration. This drug product formulation is composed of tirzepatide drug substance, sodium 
phosphate, sodium chloride, and water for injections. 
The current commercial configuration is a single integral product with 0.5-mL sterile drug 
product solution contained in a 1-mL glass syringe with a plunger, which is assembled into a 
PFP (or autoinjector). The finished form is a SDP with a spring-driven design to administer the 
0.5 mL. The 6 available strengths are 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, and 15 mg. 
The MUPFP is configured to deliver multiple 0.6-mL doses of a single strength. The MUPFP 
uses a 3-mL cartridge that is preassembled into the device and is not replaceable. Six separate 
MUPFPs, 1 for each dose strength, are planned to match the approved SDP offering (2.5, 5, 7.5, 
10, 12.5, and 15 mg). Each MUPFP will contain sufficient volume to deliver 4 doses covering 1 
month of therapy.

2.3. 
Benefit/Risk Assessment  
As of 26 September 2022, tirzepatide (MOUNJARO) was approved in the US, EU, and Japan as 
an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with T2DM. Risks of 
tirzepatide have been consistent with risks associated with other GLP-1 RAs that are currently 
marketed. Potential risks include, but are not limited to, GI effects, acute pancreatitis, increases 
in heart rate, and hypoglycemic events (GLP-1 RA class effect), which are all monitorable. 
No clinically significant safety or tolerability concerns have been identified during clinical 
investigation of tirzepatide up to the highest single dose level of 8 mg or multiple weekly doses 
up to 15 mg, attained by stepwise dose escalation. The maximum tolerated dose as a single dose 
of tirzepatide in healthy participants was determined to be 5 mg. Based on this information, the 
2x single 5-mg doses to be administered in Study GPIP are reasonably anticipated to be tolerable 
in this group of healthy participants. 
There is no anticipated therapeutic benefit in these healthy participants. 
More information about the known and expected benefits, risks, SAEs, and reasonably 
anticipated AEs of tirzepatide are to be found in the package insert of tirzepatide.

Study Design  
4.1. 
Overall Design  
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study conducted 
in healthy participants. 
The study will include 2 treatment arms. Approximately 65 participants may be enrolled so that 
at least 54 participants complete the study. Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to the 2 
treatment sequences. It is intended that approximately the same number of participants will be 
randomly assigned into each treatment sequence. The treatment sequence are: 
 a single dose of 5 mg tirzepatide administered SC via MUPFP followed by SDP; or 
 a single dose of 5 mg tirzepatide administered SC via SDP followed by MUPFP. 
The study duration for individual participants, inclusive of screening, is expected to be 
approximately 14 weeks. 
4.1.1. 
Screening Period  
Screening may occur up to 27 days prior to Day -1. During screening visit, participants will 
undergo screening tests as mentioned in Section 1.3. Participants who are not enrolled within 
28 days of screening may be subjected to an additional medical assessment and/or clinical 
measurements to confirm their eligibility. In such instances, at minimum, the following 
screening tests and procedures should be repeated: weight, vital signs, safety 12-lead ECG, 
clinical laboratory tests, and pregnancy test (females only). 
4.1.2. 
Treatment Periods 1 and 2  
 Each treatment period will last for 36 days.  
 Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 treatment arms (Section 1.2). On Day 
1 of each treatment period, based on the randomization schedule, participants will receive 
either a single dose of 5 mg tirzepatide SC via MUPFP or a single dose of 5 mg 
tirzepatide SC via SDP.  
 Study site personnel will administer all study drugs. Study drug should be administered 
by a limited number of individuals for consistency. All study drugs will be administered 
in the abdomen while the participant is in a sitting or reclining position. Study drug will 
be given in the lower abdominal quadrants.  
 Participants will remain in the study site as inpatient from Day -1 to Day 4 or longer if 
required for management or monitoring of AE for safety and wellbeing of the 
participants, at the investigator’s discretion.  
 Participants will return to the study site for outpatient visits  
o daily from Day 5 to Day 8   
o weekly until Day 21 and  
o on Day 36 
Study assessments will be performed in accordance with the SoA (Section 1.3).

4.1.3. 
Washout Period  
There will be a washout of at least 35 days between tirzepatide doses. 
4.1.4. 
Follow-Up Period  
Day 36 (±1) of treatment Period 2 will be considered as the final follow-up visit. 
4.2. 
Scientific Rationale for Study Design  
A population of healthy participants was selected since this will permit an objective assessment 
of PK between the 2 devices. 
A healthy participant population will allow assessments of the PK, safety, and tolerability of 
tirzepatide with a reduced likelihood of physiologic variability. Also, healthy participants are 
usually devoid of other confounding factors, such as concomitant medications. 
This study will be open-label as the study primary endpoint PK measures are objective rather 
than subjective. 
To minimize any potential period-effect and to allow each participant to act as their own control, 
a randomized, 2-sequence, crossover design has been selected. A washout period of at least 35 
days between doses is considered sufficient to minimize the risk of carry-over of tirzepatide 
concentrations from the first period into the second period, based on known understanding that 
the terminal half-life of tirzepatide is about 5 days (refer to IB).  
4.3. 
Justification for Dose  
It has been shown that a single 5-mg dose of tirzepatide was well tolerated by healthy 
participants and patients with T2DM. 
The two 5-mg doses, separated by at least 35 days, planned to be administered in this study is 
expected to be tolerable in this group of healthy participants. 
4.4. 
End of Study Definition  
The end of the study is defined as the date of the last visit or last scheduled procedure shown in 
the SoA for the last participant.

6.7. 
Treatment of Overdose  
For the purposes of this study, an overdose of tirzepatide is considered any dose higher than the 
dose assigned through randomization. 
There is no specific antidote for tirzepatide. In the event of an overdose, the subject should 
receive appropriate supportive care and any AEs should be documented. 
Refer to the IB for further details and recommendations. 
In the event of an overdose, the investigator should 
● contact the medical monitor immediately 
● monitor the participant closely for any AE/SAE and laboratory abnormalities as 
medically appropriate until, eg, tirzepatide no longer has a clinical effect or can 
no longer be detected systemically, and 
● document the quantity of the excess dose as well as the duration of the overdose 
in the CRF. 
6.8. 
Prior and Concomitant Therapy  
Any medication or vaccine, including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, vitamins, 
and/or herbal supplements that the participant is receiving at the time of enrollment or receives 
during the study must be recorded along with 
● reason for use 
● dates of administration including start and end dates, and 
● dosage information including dose and frequency for concomitant therapy of 
special interest. 
The medical monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or 
prior therapy. 
Participants must abstain from taking over-the-counter or prescription medication, and/or herbal 
supplements (with the exception of vitamin/mineral supplements, any hormone replacement 
therapy, and/or thyroid replacement therapy) within 14 days prior to dosing and for the duration 
of the study. 
If acetaminophen or paracetamol treatment is needed for pain management, the maximal allowed 
dose will be 3 g/day from all acetaminophen- or paracetamol-containing medicinal products.

Discontinuation of Study Intervention and Participant 
Discontinuation/Withdrawal  
Discontinuation of specific sites or of the study as a whole are handled as part of Appendix 1 
(Section 10.1). 
7.1. 
Discontinuation of Study Intervention  
When necessary, a participant may be permanently discontinued from study intervention. If so, 
the participant will discontinue the study intervention (treatment), thereby discontinuing the 
treatment period, and will remain in the study to complete procedures for an early 
discontinuation visit and posttreatment follow-up, if applicable, as shown in the SoA.  
A participant should be permanently discontinued from study intervention if 
● the participant becomes pregnant during the study, and 
● in the opinion of the investigator, the participant should permanently discontinue the 
study intervention for safety reasons. 
7.1.1. 
Hypersensitivity Reaction Criteria for Discontinuation  
If the investigator determines that a systemic hypersensitivity reaction has occurred related to 
study intervention administration, the participant may be permanently discontinued from the 
study intervention, and the sponsor’s designated medical monitor should be notified. If the 
investigator is uncertain about whether a systemic hypersensitivity reaction has occurred and 
whether discontinuation of study intervention is warranted, the investigator may consult the 
sponsor. 
7.1.2. 
Hepatic Criteria for Discontinuation  
Interrupting study drug based on liver test elevations in participants with normal or 
near-normal baseline liver test results 
In study participants with normal or near-normal baseline liver test results (ALT, AST, ALP 
<1.5x ULN), the study drug should be interrupted and close hepatic monitoring is initiated (see 
Section 8.2.8.1) if 1 or more of these conditions occur: 
Elevation 
Exception 
ALT or AST >5x ULN 
 
ALT or AST >3x ULN and either TBL >2x ULN or INR >1.5  
For participants with Gilbert’s syndrome:  
If baseline direct bilirubin is >0.5 mg/dL, 
then doubling of direct bilirubin should be 
used for drug interruption decisions rather 
than TBL >2x ULN. 
ALT or AST >3x ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, 
vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, 
and/or eosinophilia (>5%) 
 
ALP >3x ULN, when the source of increased ALP is the liver

7.2. 
Participant Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study  
Participants discontinuing from the study prematurely for any reason must complete AE and 
follow-up procedures per Section 1.3 of this protocol. 
Discontinuation is expected to be uncommon. 
A participant may withdraw from the study: 
● at any time at the participant’s own request for any reason or without providing 
any reason 
● at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioral, compliance, or 
administrative reasons 
● if enrolled in any other clinical study involving an IP, or enrolled in any other 
type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible 
with this study 
● if the participant, for any reason, requires treatment with a therapeutic agent that 
is prohibited by the protocol and has been demonstrated to be effective for 
treatment of the study indication. In this case, discontinuation from the study 
occurs prior to introduction of the new agent. 
At the time of discontinuing from the study, if possible, the participant will complete procedures 
for an early discontinuation visit and posttreatment follow-up, if applicable, as shown in the 
SoA. If the participant has not already discontinued the study intervention, the participant will be 
permanently discontinued from the study intervention at the time of the decision to discontinue 
the study. 
If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor may retain 
and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent. If a participant 
withdraws from the study, the participant may request destruction of any samples taken and not 
tested, and the investigator must document this in the site study records. 
7.3. 
Lost to Follow-Up  
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site. Site personnel or designee are 
expected to make diligent attempts to contact participants who fail to return for a scheduled visit 
or were otherwise unable to be followed up by the site.  
Site personnel, or an independent third party, will attempt to collect the vital status of the 
participant within legal and ethical boundaries for all participants randomly assigned, including 
those who did not get IP. Public sources may be searched for vital status information. If vital 
status is determined to be deceased, this will be documented, and the participant will not be 
considered lost to follow-up. Sponsor personnel will not be involved in any attempts to collect 
vital status information.

● Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA.  
● Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately 
upon occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or 
discontinue study intervention. 
● Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, 
is essential and required for study conduct. 
● All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that 
potential participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a 
screening log to record details of all participants screened and to confirm 
eligibility or record reasons for screening failure, as applicable.  
8.1. 
Efficacy Assessments  
Not applicable. 
8.2. 
Safety Assessments  
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA.  
Unless otherwise stated in the following subsections, all samples collected for specified 
laboratory tests will be destroyed within 60 days of receipt of confirmed test results. Certain 
samples may be retained for a longer period, if necessary, to comply with applicable laws, 
regulations, or laboratory certification standards. 
8.2.1. 
Physical Examinations  
● A complete physical examination will be performed at screening and will include, 
at a minimum, assessments of the cardiovascular, respiratory, GI, dermatological, 
and neurological systems. Height and weight will also be measured and recorded 
at screening. 
● 
 Subsequent brief physical examination will include medical review and targeted, 
symptom-driven examination, as appropriate. Additional assessments may be 
performed at investigator’s clinical discretion. 
8.2.2. 
Vital Signs  
● For each participant, vital sign measurements should be conducted according to 
the SoA (Section 1.3). 
 Blood pressure and pulse rate should be measured after at least 3 minutes supine. 
 Unscheduled orthostatic vital signs should be assessed, if possible, during any AE of 
dizziness or posture-induced symptoms. Additional vital signs may be measured during 
each study period at investigator’s discretion.  
8.2.3. 
Electrocardiograms  
● For each participant, a single 12-lead ECG will be obtained as outlined in the SoA 
(see Section 1.3) and stored at site. 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT

 Participants must be supine for at least 5 minutes before ECG collection, and remain 
supine but awake during procedure. 
 ECGs may be obtained at additional times, when deemed clinically necessary. All ECGs 
recorded should be stored at the investigational site. 
● Any clinically significant findings from ECGs that result in a diagnosis and that 
occur after the subject receives the first dose of the IP should be reported as an 
AE in the eCRF.  
 ECGs will be interpreted by a qualified physician (the investigator or qualified designee) 
at the site as soon after the time of ECG collection as possible, and ideally while the 
subject is still present, to determine whether the subject meets entry criteria at the 
relevant visit(s) and for immediate subject management, should any clinically relevant 
findings be identified. 
 If a clinically significant finding is identified (including, but not limited to, changes in 
QT/corrected QT interval from baseline) after enrollment, the investigator will determine 
if the participant can continue in the study. The investigator, or qualified designee, is 
responsible for determining if any change in participant management is needed, and must 
document his/her review of the ECG printed at the time of collection. Any new clinically 
relevant finding should be reported as an AE. 
8.2.4. 
Clinical Safety Laboratory Tests  
● See Appendix 2 (Section 10.2) for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be 
performed and the SoA for the timing and frequency. 
● The investigator must review the laboratory results, document this review, and 
report any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study as an AE. The 
laboratory results must be retained with source documents unless a Source 
Document Agreement or comparable document cites an electronic location that 
accommodates the expected retention duration. Clinically significant abnormal 
laboratory findings are those that are not associated with the underlying disease, 
unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the 
participant’s condition. 
● All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal 
during participation in the study should be repeated until the values return to 
normal or baseline or are no longer considered clinically significant by the 
investigator or medical monitor. 
○ If such values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of time judged 
reasonable by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and the 
sponsor notified. 
○ All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Appendix 2 
(Section 10.2), must be conducted in accordance with the SoA, standard 
collection requirements, and laboratory manual. 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT


CONFIDENTIAL 
I8F-MC-GPIP(a)

● If laboratory values from nonprotocol-specified laboratory assessments performed 
at an investigator-designated local laboratory require a change in participant 
management or are considered clinically significant by the investigator (eg, SAE 
or AE or dose modification), then report the information as an AE.  
Amylase and Lipase Measurements  
Serum amylase and lipase measurements will be collected as part of the clinical laboratory 
testing and as specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). Additional measurements may be performed at 
the investigator’s discretion. Further diagnostic assessments will be recommended as per the 
algorithm (refer to Appendix 8) for the monitoring of pancreatic events whenever lipase and/or 
amylase is confirmed to be ≥3x ULN at any visit postdose, even if the subject is asymptomatic. 
8.2.5. 
Glucose Monitoring  
For safety purposes, plasma glucose measurements will be performed using a bedside glucose 
monitor as specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). Additional blood glucose monitor measurements 
may also be taken during the study as deemed necessary by the investigator where clinically 
indicated. 
8.2.5.1. 
Hypoglycemia Reporting  
Participants will be trained to recognize the signs, symptoms, and management of hypoglycemia, 
and to inform the investigator as soon as possible about these events. Participants may, at 
investigator’s discretion, be given a glucometer to assist in the evaluation of these symptoms. 
All hypoglycemic events will be captured in the eCRF as specified below: 
 All hypoglycemic episodes will be recorded on a specific eCRF and should not be 
recorded as AEs unless the event meets serious criteria.  
 If a hypoglycemic event meets severe criteria (see definition below), it should be 
recorded as serious on the AE and SAE eCRFs, and reported to Lilly as an SAE. 
Investigators should use the following definitions and criteria when diagnosing and categorizing 
an episode considered to be related to hypoglycemia (the blood glucose values in this section 
refer to values determined by a laboratory or International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and 
Laboratory Medicine blood-equivalent glucose meters and strips) in accordance with the 2020 
American Diabetes Association position statement on glycemic targets (ADA 2020) as below: 
Level 1 hypoglycemia:  
Glucose <70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and ≥54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L): Level 1 hypoglycemia can 
alert a person to take action such as treatment with fast-acting carbohydrates. Providers should 
continue to counsel participants to treat hypoglycemia at this glucose alert value. 
Level 2 hypoglycemia:  
Glucose <54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L): This is also referred to as documented or blood glucose 
confirmed hypoglycemia with glucose <54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L). This glucose threshold is 
clinically relevant regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms of hypoglycemia.  
 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT


CONFIDENTIAL 
I8F-MC-GPIP(a) 
30 
Level 3 hypoglycemia:  
Severe hypoglycemia (in adults): A severe event characterized by altered mental and/or physical 
status requiring assistance for treatment of hypoglycemia. For example, participants had altered 
mental status, and could not assist in their own care, or were semiconscious or unconscious, or 
experienced coma with or without seizures, and the assistance of another person was needed to 
actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Glucose measurements 
may not be available during such an event, but neurological recovery attributable to the 
restoration of glucose concentration to normal is considered sufficient evidence that the event was 
induced by a low glucose concentration. 
 The determination of a hypoglycemic event as an episode of severe hypoglycemia, as 
defined above, is made by the investigator based on the medical need of the 
participant to have required assistance and is not predicated on the report of a 
participant simply having received assistance. 
 If a hypoglycemic event meets the criteria of severe hypoglycemia, the investigator 
must record the event as serious on the AE CRF and report it to Lilly as an SAE. 
Nocturnal hypoglycemia: 
Nocturnal hypoglycemia is a hypoglycemia event (including severe hypoglycemia) that occurs at 
night and presumably during sleep. 
8.2.6. 
Injection-Site Reactions  
Symptoms and signs of a local ISR may include erythema, induration, pain, pruritus, and edema. 
If an ISR is reported by a participant or assessed as clinically significant by site personnel, this 
shall be recorded as an AE and the ISR CRF will be used to capture additional information about 
this reaction, such as injection-site pain, degree and area of erythema, induration, pruritus, and 
edema. 
8.2.7. 
Hypersensitivity Reactions  
All hypersensitivity reactions will be reported by the investigator as either AEs or, if any serious 
criterion is met, as SAEs. 
In the event of suspected drug hypersensitivity reactions (immediate or nonimmediate) in 
participants who experience moderate-to-severe injection reactions as assessed by the 
investigator, unscheduled blood samples will be collected for PK at the following time points:  
 as close as possible to the onset of the event 
 at the resolution of the event 
 30 (±3) days following the event.  
Instructions for the collection and handling of blood samples will be provided by the sponsor. 
The actual date and time (24-hour clock time) of each sampling will be recorded. 
8.2.8. 
Safety Monitoring  
The Lilly CP or CRP/scientist will monitor safety data throughout the course of the study. 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT


CONFIDENTIAL 
I8F-MC-GPIP(a) 
31 
Lilly will review SAEs within time frames mandated by company procedures. The Lilly CP or 
CRP will periodically review the following data: 
 trends in safety data 
 laboratory analytes including glucose, amylase, and lipase  
 serious and nonserious AEs, including AEs of interest. 
Further diagnostic assessments will be recommended whenever lipase and/or amylase are 
confirmed to be ≥3x ULN at any visit postdose even if the subject is asymptomatic.  
When appropriate, the Lilly CP or CRP will consult with the functionally independent Global 
Patient Safety therapeutic area physician or clinical research scientist. 
8.2.8.1. 
Hepatic Safety  
Close hepatic monitoring 
Laboratory tests (Appendix 7 [Section 10.7]), including ALT, AST, ALP, TBL, direct bilirubin, 
gamma-glutamyl transferase, and creatine kinase, should be repeated within 48 to 72 hours to 
confirm the abnormality and to determine if it is increasing or decreasing, if 1 or more of these 
conditions occur: 
If a participant with baseline results 
of...  
develops the following elevations: 
ALT or AST <1.5x ULN 
ALT or AST ≥3x ULN 
ALP <1.5x ULN 
ALP ≥2x ULN 
TBL <1.5x ULN 
TBL ≥2x ULN (except for patients with Gilbert’s 
syndrome) 
ALT or AST ≥1.5x ULN 
ALT or AST ≥2x baseline 
ALP ≥1.5x ULN 
ALP ≥2x baseline 
TBL ≥1.5x ULN 
TBL ≥1.5x baseline (except for patients with Gilbert’s 
syndrome) 
 
If the abnormality persists or worsens, clinical and laboratory monitoring, and evaluation for 
possible causes of abnormal liver test results should be initiated by the investigator in 
consultation with the Lilly-designated medical monitor. At a minimum, this evaluation should 
include physical examination and a thorough medical history, including symptoms, recent 
illnesses (eg, heart failure, systemic infection, hypotension, or seizures), recent travel, history of 
concomitant medications (including over the counter), herbal and dietary supplements, history of 
alcohol drinking and other substance abuse.  
Initially, monitoring of symptoms and hepatic biochemical tests should be done at a frequency of 
1 to 3 times weekly, based on the participant’s clinical condition and hepatic biochemical tests. 
Subsequently, the frequency of monitoring may be lowered to once every 1 to 2 weeks, if the 
participant’s clinical condition and laboratory results stabilize. Monitoring of ALT, AST, ALP, 
and TBL should continue until levels normalize or return to approximate baseline levels.

Comprehensive hepatic evaluation 
A comprehensive evaluation should be performed to search for possible causes of liver injury if 
1 or more of these conditions occur: 
If a participant with baseline 
results of...  
develops the following elevations: 
ALT or AST <1.5x ULN 
ALT or AST ≥3x ULN with hepatic signs/symptomsa, or  
ALT or AST ≥5x ULN 
ALP <1.5x ULN 
ALP ≥3x ULN 
TBL <1.5x ULN 
TBL ≥2x ULN (except for patients with Gilbert’s syndrome) 
ALT or AST ≥1.5x ULN 
ALT or AST ≥2x baseline with hepatic signs/symptomsa, or 
ALT or AST ≥3x baseline 
ALP ≥1.5x ULN 
ALP ≥2x baseline 
TBL ≥1.5x ULN 
TBL ≥2x baseline (except for patients with Gilbert’s syndrome)  
a Hepatic signs/symptoms are severe fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper-quadrant abdominal pain, fever, rash, 
and/or eosinophilia >5%. 
 
At a minimum, this evaluation should include physical examination and a thorough medical 
history, as outlined above, as well as tests for prothrombin time-INR; tests for viral hepatitis A, 
B, C, or E; tests for autoimmune hepatitis; and an abdominal imaging study (eg, ultrasound or 
CT scan).  
Based on the patient’s history and initial results, further testing should be considered in 
consultation with the Lilly-designated medical monitor, including tests for hepatitis D virus, 
cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, acetaminophen levels, acetaminophen protein adducts, 
urine toxicology screen, Wilson’s disease, blood alcohol levels, urinary ethyl glucuronide, and 
blood phosphatidylethanol. Based on the circumstances and the investigator’s assessment of the 
participant’s clinical condition, the investigator should consider referring the participant for a 
hepatologist or gastroenterologist consultation, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, 
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, cardiac echocardiogram, or a liver biopsy.  
Additional hepatic data collection (hepatic safety CRF) in study participants who have 
abnormal liver test results during the study  
Additional hepatic safety data collection in hepatic safety CRFs should be performed in study 
participants who meet 1 or more of the following 5 conditions: 
1. Elevation of serum ALT to ≥5x ULN on 2 or more consecutive blood tests (if baseline 
ALT <1.5x ULN) 
➢ In participants with baseline ALT ≥1.5x ULN, the threshold is ALT ≥3x baseline on 2 
or more consecutive tests 
2. Elevation of TBL to ≥2x ULN (if baseline TBL <1.5x ULN) (except for cases of known 
Gilbert’s syndrome) 
➢ In participants with baseline TBL ≥1.5x ULN, the threshold should be TBL ≥2x 
baseline

3. Elevation of serum ALP to ≥2x ULN on 2 or more consecutive blood tests (if baseline 
ALP <1.5x ULN) 
➢ In participants with baseline ALP ≥1.5x ULN, the threshold is ALP ≥2x baseline on 2 
or more consecutive blood tests 
4. Hepatic event considered to be an SAE 
5. Discontinuation of study drug due to a hepatic event  
Note: the interval between the 2 consecutive blood tests should be at least 2 days. 
8.2.9. 
Pregnancy Testing  
Pregnancy testing will be performed for all female participants at the time points detailed in the 
SoA (Section 1.3). Serum pregnancy testing will be used at screening. Urine pregnancy testing 
will be used at all other time points, as per SoA. See Section 8.3.2 for more detail. 
8.3. 
Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Product Complaints  
The definitions of the following events can be found in Appendix 3: 
 AEs 
 SAEs 
 product complaints 
These events will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, 
or the participant’s legally authorized representative). 
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
recording events that meet these definitions and remain responsible for following up events that 
are serious, considered related to the study intervention or study procedures, or that caused the 
participant to discontinue the study. 
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting events. Open-ended and nonleading 
verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about event occurrences. 
After the initial report, the investigator is required to proactively follow up each participant at 
subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs will be followed up until resolution, stabilization, the event 
is otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 7.3). For 
product complaints, the investigator is responsible for ensuring that follow-up includes any 
supplemental investigations as indicated to elucidate the nature and/or causality. Further 
information on follow-up procedures is provided in Section 10.3.

8.3.2. 
Pregnancy  
Collection of pregnancy information 
Male participants with partners who become pregnant 
● The investigator will attempt to collect pregnancy information on any male 
participant’s female partner who becomes pregnant while the male participant is 
in this study. This applies only to male participants who receive tirzepatide. 
● After learning of a pregnancy in the female partner of a study participant, the 
investigator will 
o obtain a consent to release information from the pregnant female partner 
directly, and 
o within 24 hours after obtaining this consent will record pregnancy information 
on the appropriate form and submit it to the sponsor.  
The female partner will also be followed up to determine the outcome of the 
pregnancy. Information on the status of the mother and child will be forwarded to 
the sponsor. Generally, the follow-up will be no longer than 6 to 8 weeks 
following the estimated delivery date. Any termination of the pregnancy will be 
reported regardless of gestational age, fetal status (presence or absence of 
anomalies), or indication for the procedure. 
Female participants who become pregnant 
● The investigator will collect pregnancy information on any female participant 
who becomes pregnant while participating in this study. The initial information 
will be recorded on the appropriate form and submitted to the sponsor within 
24 hours of learning of a participant’s pregnancy.  
● The participant will be followed up to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. 
The investigator will collect follow-up information on the participant and the 
neonate and the information will be forwarded to the sponsor. Generally, follow-
up will not be required for longer than 6 to 8 weeks beyond the estimated delivery 
date. Any termination of pregnancy will be reported, regardless of gestational age, 
fetal status (presence or absence of anomalies), or indication for the procedure. 
● While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an AE or SAE, any pregnancy 
complication or elective termination of a pregnancy for medical reasons will be 
reported as an AE or SAE.  
● A spontaneous abortion (occurring at <20 weeks gestational age) or still birth 
(occurring at ≥20 weeks gestational age) is always considered to be an SAE and 
will be reported as such.  
● Any poststudy pregnancy-related SAE considered reasonably related to the study 
intervention by the investigator will be reported to the sponsor as described in 
protocol Section 8.3.1. While the investigator is not obligated to actively seek this 
information in former study participants, he or she may learn of an SAE through 
spontaneous reporting. 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT


CONFIDENTIAL 
I8F-MC-GPIP(a) 
37 
● Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating in the study 
will discontinue study intervention. If the participant is discontinued from the 
study, follow the standard discontinuation process, and continue directly to the 
follow-up phase. The follow-up on the pregnancy outcome should continue 
independent of intervention or study discontinuation.  
Prior to continuation of study intervention following pregnancy, the following must occur: 
● The sponsor and the relevant IRB/IEC give written approval. 
● The participant gives signed informed consent. 
● The investigator agrees to monitor the outcome of the pregnancy and the status of the 
participant and the participant’s offspring. 
8.3.3. Adverse Events of Special Interest  
AEs of special interest for this program include: 
 pancreatitis 
 major adverse cardiovascular events 
 deaths 
 hypoglycemia (Level 2 and 3) 
 thyroid malignancies and C-cell hyperplasia 
 supraventricular arrhythmias and cardiac conductive disorders 
 hypersensitivity events 
 severe ISRs, and 
 severe GI AEs 
8.4. 
Pharmacokinetics  
● Venous blood samples of approximately 3 mL will be collected for measurement 
of plasma concentrations of tirzepatide as specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).  
● A maximum of 3 unscheduled samples may be collected at additional time points 
during the study if warranted and agreed upon between the investigator and the 
sponsor. The timing of sampling may be altered during the course of the study 
based on newly available data to ensure appropriate monitoring.  
● Instructions for the collection and handling of biological samples will be provided 
by the sponsor. The actual date and time (24-hour clock time) of each sample will 
be recorded. 
Failure or being late (outside stipulated time allowances) to obtain samples due to legitimate 
clinical issues (eg, equipment technical problems, venous access difficulty, or subject defaulting 
or turning up late on an agreed scheduled procedure) will not be considered as protocol 
deviations but the CRU will have to notify the sponsor in writing via a file note.

8.4.1. 
Bioanalysis  
Samples will be analyzed at a laboratory approved by the sponsor and stored at a facility 
designated by the sponsor. 
Concentrations of tirzepatide will be assayed using a validated liquid chromatography tandem 
mass spectrometry method.  
Bioanalytical samples collected to measure IP concentrations will be retained for a maximum of 
1 year following last subject visit for the study. During this time, samples remaining after the 
bioanalyses may be used for exploratory analyses, such as metabolism work, protein binding, or 
bioanalytical method cross-validation.  
8.5. 
Pharmacodynamics  
Pharmacodynamic parameters are not evaluated in this study. 
8.6. 
Genetics  
A blood sample for DNA isolation will be collected from participants for pharmacogenetic 
analysis as specified in the SoA (Section 1.3), where local regulations allow.  
Samples will not be used to conduct unspecified disease or population genetic research either 
now or in the future. Samples will be used to investigate variable exposure or response to 
tirzepatide and to investigate genetic variants thought to play a role in T2DM. Assessment of 
variable response may include evaluation of AEs or differences in efficacy.  
All samples will be coded with the subject number. These samples and any data generated can be 
linked back to the subject only by the investigative site personnel.  
Samples will be retained for a maximum of 15 years after the last subject visit, or for a shorter 
period if local regulations and/or ethical review boards impose shorter time limits, for the study 
at a facility selected by Lilly or its designee. This retention period enables use of new 
technologies, response to regulatory questions, and investigation of variable response that may 
not be observed until later in the development of tirzepatide.  
Molecular technologies are expected to improve during the 15-year storage period and therefore 
cannot be specifically named. However, existing approaches include whole genome or exome 
sequencing, genome-wide association studies, multiplex assays, and candidate gene studies. 
Regardless of technology utilized, data generated will be used only for the specific research 
scope described in this section.  
See Appendix 5 (Section 10.5) for information regarding genetic research and for details about 
sample retention and custody.

Statistical Considerations  
The SAP will be finalized prior to first participant first visit, and it will include a more technical 
and detailed description of the statistical analyses described in this section. This section is a 
summary of the planned statistical analyses of the most important endpoints, including primary 
and key secondary endpoints. 
9.1. 
Statistical Hypotheses  
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate bioequivalence of the MUPFP (test) and the 
SDP (reference) with a 5-mg dose, as assessed using tirzepatide PK parameters Cmax, AUC(0-
tlast), and AUC(0-∞) in healthy participants.

Analyses Sets  
For the purposes of analysis, the following analysis sets are defined: 
Participant Analysis Set / 
Population 
Description 
Enrolled 
All randomly assigned participants. 
Safety analysis set 
All participants who are exposed to study intervention. Participants will be 
analyzed according to the intervention they actually received. 
PK analysis set 
All randomly assigned participants who received at least 1 study intervention 
and have evaluable PK data.  
9.3. 
Statistical Analyses  
9.3.1. General Considerations  
Statistical analysis of this study will be the responsibility of Eli Lilly and Company or its 
designee. 
PK analyses will be conducted for the PK analysis set according to the actual tirzepatide 
formulation received. Safety analyses will be conducted for the safety analysis set.  
Additional exploratory analyses of the data will be conducted as deemed appropriate. Study 
results may be pooled with the results of other studies for safety and population PK analysis 
purposes. 
Handling of missing, unused, and spurious data are addressed prospectively in the overall 
statistical methods described in the protocol and in the SAP, where appropriate. Adjustments to 
the planned analyses are described in the final clinical study report.

The subject’s age, sex, weight, height, body mass index, or other demographic characteristics 
will be recorded and may be used in the PK and safety analyses as quantitative or classification 
variables. 
9.3.2. 
Primary Endpoints Analysis  
PK parameter estimates for tirzepatide will be calculated using standard noncompartmental 
methods of analysis. 
The primary PK parameters for analysis will be Cmax, AUC(0-tlast), and AUC(0-∞).  
Other noncompartmental parameters, such as tmax, half-life associated with the terminal rate 
constant in noncompartmental analysis (t1/2), apparent clearance (CL/F), and apparent volume 
of distribution (V/F) may be reported. 
9.3.2.1. 
Pharmacokinetic Statistical Inference  
Two 1-sided equivalence tests will be applied to the ratios of each of Cmax and AUC using 
MUPFP as the test and SDP as the reference. Test limits of the ratios to establish bioequivalence 
are 0.8 and 1.25.  
PK parameters will be evaluated to estimate the relative bioavailability. Log-transformed Cmax, 
AUC(0-tlast), and AUC(0-∞) will be evaluated in a linear mixed-effects model with device, 
sequence, period as fixed effects, and subject within sequence as random effect. The treatment 
differences will be back transformed to present the ratios of geometric means and the 
corresponding 90% CIs. Other parameters may be analyzed in this way as needed. 
Planned PK parameters will also be summarized with descriptive statistics. 
9.3.3. 
Secondary Endpoints Analysis  
The tmax will be analyzed using Wilcoxon ranked sum test. Estimates of the median difference 
and 90% CIs will be calculated.  
Additional PK analyses may be conducted if deemed appropriate. 
All IP, study device, and protocol procedure AEs, and study device deficiencies/complaints will 
be listed, and if the frequency of events allows, data will be summarized using descriptive 
methodology. 
The incidence of symptoms for each treatment will be presented by severity. Symptoms reported 
to occur prior to enrollment will be distinguished from those reported as new or increased in 
severity during the study. Each symptom will be classified by the most suitable term from the 
Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Authorities. 
The number of IP-related SAEs will be reported. 
If available, any incidence of erythema, induration, pain, pruritus, edema, bleeding, and bruising 
from injection site assessment will be listed.

9.3.4. 
Safety Analyses  
Safety parameters that will be assessed include AEs, safety laboratory parameters, and vital 
signs. The parameters will be listed and summarized using standard descriptive statistics, where 
appropriate.  
Physical examinations and ECGs will be performed for safety monitoring purposes and will not 
be presented.  
If warranted, additional analysis will be performed upon review of the data. 
9.3.5. 
Other Analyses  
If needed, details will be provided in the SAP. 
9.4. 
Interim Analyses  
No interim analyses are planned for this study. If an unplanned interim analysis is deemed 
necessary for reasons other than a safety concern, the protocol must be amended.  
Unblinding details are specified in the unblinding plan section of the SAP. 
9.5. 
Sample Size Determination  
Approximately 65 participants may be enrolled so that approximately 54 evaluable participants 
complete the study. A sample size of 54 participants will provide at least 95% power that the 
90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratio of Cmax and AUC between the 2 devices 
will fall within the equivalence range of 0.8 to 1.25. This assumes a nominal expected mean ratio 
of 1.05 (test vs reference), a within-subject coefficient of variation of 24%.

10.1.5. 
Dissemination of Clinical Study Data  
Communication of suspended or terminated dosing 
If a decision is taken to suspend or terminate dosing in the trial due to safety findings, this 
decision will be communicated by Lilly to all investigators (eg, through phone and/or email) as 
soon as possible. It will be a requirement that investigators respond upon receipt to confirm that 
they understand the communication and have taken the appropriate action prior to further dosing 
any participants with study intervention. Any investigator not responding will be followed up by 
Lilly personnel prior to any further planned dosing. If a dose is planned imminently, Lilly 
personnel will immediately, and continually, use all efforts to reach investigators until contact is 
made and instructions verified. 
Reports 
The sponsor will disclose a summary of study information, including tabular study results, on 
publicly available websites where required by local law or regulation. 
The summary of results will be posted within the time frame specified by local law or regulation. 
If the study remains ongoing in some countries and a statistical analysis of an incomplete dataset 
would result in analyses lacking scientific rigor (eg, underpowered) or compromise the integrity 
of the overall analyses (eg, trial not yet unblinded), the summary of results will be submitted 
within 1 year after the end of the study globally or as soon as available, whichever is earlier. 
Data 
The sponsor does not proactively share data from Phase 1 clinical trials. Requests for access to 
Phase 1 clinical trial data are evaluated on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration the 
ability to anonymize the data and the nature of the data collected. 
10.1.6. 
Data Quality Assurance  
● All participant data relating to the study will be recorded on printed or eCRFs 
unless transmitted to the sponsor or designee electronically (eg, laboratory data). 
The investigator is responsible for verifying that data entries are accurate and 
correct by physically or electronically signing the CRF. 
● The investigator must maintain accurate documentation (source data) that 
supports the information entered in the CRF. 
● The investigator must review and confirm that data entries are accurate and 
complete throughout the duration of the study, by physically or electronically 
signing the CRF, as instructed by the sponsor. All completed CRFs must be 
signed prior to archival.

● The sponsor or designee will perform monitoring to confirm that data transcribed 
into the CRF by authorized site personnel are accurate, complete, and verifiable 
from source documents; that the safety and rights of participants are being 
protected; and that the study is being conducted in accordance with the currently 
approved protocol and any other study agreements, ICH GCP, and all applicable 
regulatory requirements. 
● Records and documents, including signed ICFs, pertaining to the conduct of this 
study must be retained by the investigator for the time period outlined in the 
Clinical Trial Agreement unless local regulations or institutional policies require a 
longer retention period. No records may be destroyed during the retention period 
without the written approval of the sponsor. No records may be transferred to 
another location or party without written notification to the sponsor. 
● In addition, the sponsor or its representatives will periodically check a sample of 
the participant data recorded against source documents at the study site. The study 
may be audited by the sponsor or its representatives, and/or regulatory agencies at 
any time. Investigators will be given notice before an audit occurs. 
Data capture system 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, legibility, and timeliness 
of the data reported to the sponsor.  
An electronic data capture system will be used in this study for the collection of CRF data. The 
investigator maintains a separate source for the data entered by the investigator or designee into 
the sponsor-provided electronic data capture system. The investigator is responsible for the 
identification of any data to be considered source and for the confirmation that data reported are 
accurate and complete by signing the CRF. 
Data collected via the sponsor-provided data capture systems will be stored at third party (at 
third parties). The investigator will have continuous access to the data during the study and until 
decommissioning of the data capture systems. Prior to decommissioning, the investigator will 
receive or access an archival copy of pertinent data for retention. 
Data managed by a central vendor, such as laboratory test data, will be stored electronically in 
the central vendor’s database system and reports will be provided to the investigator for review 
and retention. Data will subsequently be transferred from the central vendor to the sponsor data 
warehouse. 
Data from complaint forms submitted to the sponsor will be encoded and stored in the global 
product complaint management system.

Study and Site Start and Closure  
First act of recruitment 
The study start date is the date on which the clinical study will be open for recruitment of 
participants. 
Study or site termination 
The sponsor or sponsor’s designee reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study 
at any time for any reason at the sole discretion of the sponsor. Study sites will be closed upon 
study completion. A study site is considered closed when all required documents and study 
supplies have been collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed. 
The investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable cause 
and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination. 
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the sponsor or investigator may include but are 
not limited to: 
For study termination: 
● Discontinuation of further study intervention development 
For site termination: 
● Failure of the investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the 
IRB/IEC or local health authorities, the sponsor’s procedures, or GCP guidelines 
● Inadequate recruitment (evaluated after a reasonable amount of time) of 
participants by the investigator 
● Total number of participants included earlier than expected. 
If the study is prematurely terminated or suspended, the sponsor shall promptly inform the 
investigators, the IECs/IRBs, the regulatory authorities, and any contract research organization(s) 
used in the study of the reason for termination or suspension, as specified by the applicable 
regulatory requirements. The investigator shall promptly inform the participant and should assure 
appropriate participant therapy and/or follow-up. 
10.1.9.

Appendix 3: Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events: Definitions 
and Procedures for Recording, Evaluating, Follow-Up, and 
Reporting  
10.3.1. 
Definition of AE  
AE definition 
 An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical 
product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study 
intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to 
the medicinal (investigational) product. 
 An AE is any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward 
clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory finding) in study participants, users, or 
other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device. This definition 
includes events related to the investigational medical device or comparator and events 
related to the procedures involved except for events in users or other persons, which only 
include events related to investigational devices.  
Events meeting the AE definition 
 Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or 
other safety assessments (eg, ECGs, radiological scans, vital sign measurements), 
including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically significant in the medical 
and scientific judgment of the investigator (ie, not related to progression of underlying 
disease). 
 Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent preexisting condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
 New condition detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even though 
it may have been present before the start of the study. 
 Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction. 
 Medication error, misuse, or abuse of investigational medicinal product, including signs, 
symptoms, or clinical sequelae.  
Events NOT meeting the AE definition 
 Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments that are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition. 
 The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of the 
disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the participant’s 
condition. 
 Medical or surgical procedure (eg, endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that leads to 
the procedure is the AE. 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT


CONFIDENTIAL 
I8F-MC-GPIP(a) 
52 
 Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
 Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of preexisting disease(s) or condition(s) present or 
detected at the start of the study that do not worsen.  
10.3.2. 
Definition of SAE  
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, meets 1 or more 
of the criteria listed: 
 Results in death 
 Is life-threatening 
o The term life-threatening in the definition of serious refers to an event in which 
the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an 
event, which hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe. 
 Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
o In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been admitted to 
hospital or emergency ward (usually involving at least an overnight stay) for 
observation and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the 
physician’s office or outpatient setting. Complications that occur during 
hospitalization are AEs. If a complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills any 
other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as to whether 
hospitalization occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered serious. 
o Hospitalization for elective treatment of a preexisting condition that did not 
worsen from baseline is not considered an AE. 
 Results in persistent disability/incapacity 
o The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct 
normal life functions. 
o This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, 
influenza, and accidental trauma (eg, sprained ankle) that may interfere with or 
prevent everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption. 
 Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
o Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs. 
 Other situations: 
o Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised by the investigator in deciding 
whether SAE reporting is appropriate in other situations such as important 
medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or 
hospitalization but may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT


CONFIDENTIAL 
I8F-MC-GPIP(a) 
53 
surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the other outcomes listed in the above 
definition. These events should usually be considered serious. 
o Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood 
dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or development of 
drug dependency or drug abuse. 
 Resulted in medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or 
permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function.  
10.3.3. 
Definition of Product Complaints  
Product complaint 
 A product complaint is any written, electronic, or oral communication that alleges 
deficiencies related to the identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness, or 
performance of a study intervention. When the ability to use the study intervention safely 
is impacted, the following are also product complaints: 
o Deficiencies in labeling information, and 
o Use errors for device or drug-device combination products due to ergonomic 
design elements of the product. 
 Product complaints related to study interventions used in clinical trials are collected to 
ensure the safety of participants, monitor quality, and to facilitate process and product 
improvements. 
 Investigators will instruct participants to contact the site as soon as possible if he or she 
has a product complaint or problem with the study intervention so that the situation can 
be assessed. 
 An event may meet the definition of both a product complaint and an AE/SAE. In such 
cases, it should be reported as both a product complaint and as an AE/SAE. 
10.3.4. 
Recording and Follow-Up of AE and/or SAE and Product Complaints  
AE, SAE, and product complaint recording 
 When an AE/SAE/product complaint occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to 
review all documentation (eg, hospital progress notes, laboratory reports, and diagnostic 
reports) related to the event. 
 The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE/product complaint information in 
the participant’s medical records, in accordance with the investigator’s normal clinical 
practice. AE/SAE information is reported on the appropriate CRF page and product 
complaint information is reported on the Product Complaint Form. 
 Note: An event may meet the definition of both a product complaint and an AE/SAE. In 
such cases, it should be reported as both a product complaint and as an AE/SAE. 
 It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s medical 
records to the sponsor or designee in lieu of completion of the CRF page for AE/SAE and 
the Product Complaint Form for product complaints. 
 There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are requested by 
the sponsor or designee. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception of the 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT


CONFIDENTIAL 
I8F-MC-GPIP(a) 
54 
participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before 
submission to the sponsor or designee. 
 The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not the 
individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE. 
Assessment of intensity 
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported during the 
study and assign it to 1 of the following categories:  
 Mild: A type of AE that is usually transient and may require only minimal treatment or 
therapeutic intervention. The event does not generally interfere with usual activities of 
daily living. 
 Moderate: A type of AE that is usually alleviated with additional specific therapeutic 
intervention. The event interferes with usual activities of daily living, causing discomfort 
but poses no significant or permanent risk of harm to the research participant. 
 Severe: A type of AE that interrupts usual activities of daily living, or significantly 
affects clinical status, or may require intensive therapeutic intervention. An AE that is 
assessed as severe should not be confused with an SAE. Severe is a category utilized for 
rating the intensity of an event; and both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe. 
An event is defined as “serious” when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes as 
described in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe.  
Assessment of causality 
 The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention and 
each occurrence of each AE/SAE. The investigator will use clinical judgment to 
determine the relationship. 
 A “reasonable possibility” of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, and/or 
arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot be ruled out. 
 Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other risk 
factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
 The investigator will also consult the IB in their assessment. 
 For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she has 
reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
 There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has minimal 
information to include in the initial report to the sponsor or designee. However, it is very 
important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for every event 
before the initial transmission of the SAE data to the sponsor or designee. 
 The investigator may change their opinion of causality in light of follow-up information 
and send a SAE follow-up report with the updated causality assessment. 
 The causality assessment is 1 of the criteria used when determining regulatory reporting 
requirements. 
Approved on 30 May 2023 GMT

I8F-MC-GPIP(a) 
55 
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
 The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by the sponsor or 
designee to elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. 
This may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological 
examinations, or consultation with other health care professionals. 
  If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-up 
period, the investigator will provide the sponsor or designee with a copy of any 
postmortem findings including histopathology. 
10.3.5. 
Reporting of SAEs  
SAE reporting via SAE report 
 Facsimile transmission of the SAE report is the preferred method to transmit this 
information to the sponsor or designee. 
 Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to 
complete and sign the SAE report within the designated reporting time frames. 
 Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in SAE report.  
10.3.6. 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements  
SAE regulatory reporting 
Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities toward the safety of participants and the safety of 
a study intervention under clinical investigation are met. 
 The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority 
and other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under 
clinical investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory 
requirements relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, IRBs/IECs, 
and investigators. 
 An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other 
specific safety information (eg, summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will 
review and then file it along with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements.

Appendix 5: Genetics  
Use/analysis of DNA 
● Genetic variation may impact a participant’s response to study intervention, 
susceptibility to, and severity and progression of disease. Variable response to 
study intervention may be due to genetic determinants that impact drug 
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion; mechanism of action of the 
drug; disease etiology; and/or molecular subtype of the disease being treated. 
Therefore, where local regulations and IRB/IEC allow, a blood sample will be 
collected for DNA analysis from consenting participants. 
● DNA samples will be used for research related to tirzepatide or T2DM and related 
diseases. They may also be used to develop tests/assays including diagnostic tests 
related to tirzepatide and T2DM. Genetic research may consist of the analysis of 1 
or more candidate genes or the analysis of genetic markers throughout the genome 
or analysis of the entire genome (as appropriate). 
● The samples may be analyzed as part of a multistudy assessment of genetic 
factors involved in the response to tirzepatide or study interventions of this class 
to understand study disease or related conditions. 
● The results of genetic analyses may be reported in the clinical study report or in a 
separate study summary. 
● The sponsor will store the DNA samples in a secure storage space with adequate 
measures to protect confidentiality. 
● The samples will be retained while research on tirzepatide or T2DM continues but 
no longer than 15 years or other period as per local requirements.

Appendix 8: Pancreatic Monitoring  
Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis 
Acute pancreatitis is an AE of interest in all studies with tirzepatide, including this study. The 
diagnosis of acute pancreatitis requires 2 of the following 3 features (Banks and Freeman 2006; 
Koizumi et al. 2006):  
 abdominal pain, characteristic of acute pancreatitis (ie, epigastric pain radiating to the 
back, often associated with nausea and vomiting) 
 serum amylase (total, pancreatic, or both) and/or lipase ≥3x ULN 
 characteristic findings of acute pancreatitis on CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging. 
If acute pancreatitis is suspected, the investigator should 
 obtain appropriate laboratory tests, including pancreatic amylase (p-amylase) and lipase 
 perform imaging studies, such as abdominal CT scan with or without contrast, or 
abdominal magnetic resonance imaging 
 evaluate for possible causes of acute pancreatitis, including alcohol use, gallstone/gall 
bladder disease, hypertriglyceridemia, and concomitant medications. 
Discontinuation for acute pancreatitis 
If acute pancreatitis is diagnosed, the participant must discontinue use of the IPs. 
Asymptomatic elevation of serum amylase and/or lipase levels 
Serial measures of pancreatic enzymes have limited clinical value for predicting episodes of 
acute pancreatitis in asymptomatic patients (Nauck 2016; Steinberg et al. 2017a,b). Therefore, 
further diagnostic follow-up of cases of asymptomatic elevation of pancreatic enzymes (lipase 
and/or p-amylase ≥3x ULN) is not mandated but may be performed based on the investigator’s 
clinical judgment and assessment of the participant’s overall clinical condition.

Study Design  
This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study conducted 
in healthy participants. 
The study will include 2 treatment arms. Approximately 65 participants may be enrolled so that 
at least 54 participants complete the study. Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to the 2 
treatment sequences. It is intended that approximately the same number of participants will be 
randomly assigned into each treatment sequence. The treatment sequence is: 
 a single dose of 5 mg tirzepatide administered SC via MUPFP followed by SDP; or 
 a single dose of 5 mg tirzepatide administered SC via SDP followed by MUPFP. 
The study duration for individual participants, inclusive of screening, is expected to be 
approximately 14 weeks. 
 
 
Following is the study design:

Statistical Analyses  
4.1. 
General Considerations  
Statistical analysis of this study will be the responsibility of Eli Lilly and Company or its 
designee. 
PK analyses will be conducted for the PK analysis set according to the actual tirzepatide 
formulation received. Safety analyses will be conducted with the safety analysis set.  
Summary statistics and statistical analysis will only be presented for data where detailed in this 
SAP. For continuous data, summary statistics will include the arithmetic mean, arithmetic 
standard deviation (SD), median, min, max and N; for log-normal data (eg, the PK parameters: 
area under the concentration versus time curve [AUCs] and maximum observed drug 
concentration [Cmax]) the geometric mean and geometric coefficient of variation (CV%) will also 
be presented. For categorical data, frequency count and percentages will be presented. Data 
listings will be provided for all subjects up to the point of withdrawal. Summary statistics and 
statistical analyses will generally only be performed for subjects included in the relevant analysis 
population. For the calculation of summary statistics and statistical analysis, unrounded data will 
be used.  
Mean change from baseline is the mean of all individual subjects’ change from baseline values. 
Each individual change from baseline will be calculated by subtracting the individual subject’s 
baseline value from the value at the timepoint. The individual subject’s change from baseline 
values will be used to calculate the mean change from baseline using a SAS procedure such as 
Proc Univariate. 
Data analysis will be performed using SAS® Version 9.4 or greater. 
Additional exploratory analyses of the data will be conducted as deemed appropriate. Study 
results may be pooled with the results of other studies for safety and population PK analysis 
purposes 
 
4.2. 
Participant Dispositions  
Subject disposition will be listed. Subject ID, date of study discontinuation, reason for 
discontinuation, adverse events for discontinuation due to AE, and last dose information 
(treatment, study period, study day) will be listed. 
The demographic variables age, sex, race, ethnicity, body weight, height and body mass index 
will be summarized and listed. All other demographic variables will be listed only.

Additional PK parameters may be calculated, as appropriate.  
The software and version used for the final analyses will be specified in the clinical study report. 
Any exceptions or special handling of data will be clearly documented within the final study 
report. 
Formatting of tables, figures and abbreviations will follow the Eli Lilly Global PK/PD/TS Tool: 
NON-COMPARTMENTAL PHARMACOKINETIC STYLE GUIDE. The version of the tool 
effective at the time of PK analysis will be followed. 
General PK Parameter Rules 
 Actual sampling times will be used in the final analyses of individual PK parameters, 
except for non-bolus pre-dose sampling times which will be set to zero.  
 Cmax and tmax will be reported from observed values. If Cmax occurs at more than 
one timepoint, tmax will be assigned to the first occurrence of Cmax.  
 AUC parameters will be calculated using a combination of the linear and logarithmic 
trapezoidal methods (linear-log trapezoidal rule). The linear trapezoidal method will be 
applied up to tmax and then the logarithmic trapezoidal method will be used after tmax. The 
minimum requirement for the calculation of AUC will be the inclusion of at least three 
consecutive concentrations above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), with at least 
one of these concentrations following Cmax.

 AUC(0-) values where the percentage of the total area extrapolated is more than 20% 
will be flagged. Any AUC(0-) value excluded from summary statistics will be noted in 
the footnote of the summary table. 
 Half-life (t½) will be calculated, when appropriate, based on the apparent terminal 
log-linear portion of the concentration-time curve. The start of the terminal elimination 
phase for each subject will be defined by visual inspection and generally will be the first 
point at which there is no systematic deviation from the log-linear decline in serum 
concentrations. Half-life will only be calculated when a reliable estimate for this 
parameter can be obtained comprising of at least 3 data points. If t½ is estimated over a 
time window of less than 2 half-lives, the values will be flagged in the data listings. Any 
t½ value excluded from summary statistics will be documented in the footnote of the 
summary table.  
 A uniform weighting scheme will be used in the regression analysis of the terminal log-
linear portion of the concentration-time curve. 
 The parameters based on the last observed quantifiable drug concentration (Clast) will be 
reported. 
Individual PK Parameter Rules 
 Only quantifiable concentrations will be used to calculate PK parameters with the 
exception of special handling of certain concentrations reported below the lower limit of 
quantification (BQL). Plasma concentrations reported as BQL will be set to a value of 
zero when all of the following conditions are met:  
o The compound is non-endogenous. 
o The samples are from the initial dose period for a subject or from a subsequent 
dose period following a suitable wash-out period. 
o The timepoints occur before the first quantifiable concentration. 
 All other BQL concentrations that do not meet the above criteria will be set to missing.  
 Also, where two or more consecutive concentrations are BQL towards the end of a 
profile, the profile will be deemed to have terminated and therefore any further 
quantifiable concentrations will be set to missing for the calculation of the PK parameters 
unless it is considered to be a true characteristic of the profile of the drug. 
Individual Concentration vs. Time Profiles 
 Individual concentrations will be plotted utilizing actual sampling times. 
 The terminal point selections will be indicated on a semi-logarithmic plot.

Average Concentration vs. Time Profiles 
 The average concentration profiles will be graphed using scheduled (nominal) sampling 
times.  
 The average concentration profiles will be graphed using arithmetic average 
concentrations. 
 The pre-dose average concentration for single-dose data from non-endogenous 
compounds will be set to zero. Otherwise, only quantifiable concentrations will be used 
to calculate average concentrations. 
 Concentrations at a sampling time exceeding the sampling time window specified in the 
protocol, or ± 10%, will be excluded from the average concentration profiles. 
 Concentrations excluded from the mean calculation will be documented in the final study 
report. 
 A concentration average will be plotted for a given sampling time only if 2/3 of the 
individual data at the timepoint have quantifiable measurements that are within the 
sampling time window specified in the protocol or ± 10%. An average concentration 
estimated with less than 2/3 but more than 3 data points may be displayed on the mean 
concentration plot if determined to be appropriate and will be documented within the 
final study report. 
Treatment of Outliers during Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
Application of this procedure to all PK analyses is not a requirement. Rather, this procedure 
provides justification for exclusion of data when scientifically appropriate. This procedure 
describes the methodology for identifying an individual value as an outlier for potential 
exclusion but does not require that the value be excluded from analysis. The following 
methodology will not be used to exclude complete profiles from analysis. 
Data within an Individual Profile 
A value within an individual profile may be excluded from analysis if any of the following 
criteria are met: 
 For PK profiles during single dosing of non-endogenous compounds, the concentration in 
a pre-dose sample is quantifiable. 
 For any questionable datum that does not satisfy the above criteria, the profile will be 
evaluated, and results reported with and without the suspected datum.  
Data between Individual Profiles 
1.  If n<6, then the dataset is too small to conduct a reliable range test. Data will be analyzed 
with and without the atypical value, and both sets of results will be reported.

2.  If n6, then an objective outlier test will be used to compare the atypical value to other 
values included in that calculation: 
a. Transform all values in the calculation to the logarithmic domain. 
b. Find the most extreme value from the arithmetic mean of the log transformed 
values and exclude that value from the dataset. 
c. Calculate the lower and upper bounds of the range defined by the arithmetic 
mean ±3*SD of the remaining log-transformed values. 
d. If the extreme value is within the range of arithmetic mean ±3*SD, then it is not 
an outlier and will be retained in the dataset. 
e. If the extreme value is outside the range of arithmetic mean ±3*SD, then it is an 
outlier and will be excluded from analysis. 
If the remaining dataset contains another atypical datum suspected to be an outlier and n ≥ 6 
following the exclusion, then repeat step 2 above. This evaluation may be repeated as many 
times as necessary, excluding only one suspected outlier in each iteration, until all data 
remaining in the dataset fall within the range of arithmetic mean ±3*SD of the log-transformed 
values. 
Reporting of Excluded Values 
Individual values excluded as outliers will be documented in the final report. Approval of the 
final report will connote approval of the exclusion. 
4.3.2. 
Main analytical approach  
Two one-sided equivalence tests will be applied to the ratios of each of Cmax, AUC(0-t), and 
AUC(0-∞) using the MUPFP as the test sample and the SDP as the reference. Test limits of the 
ratios to establish bioequivalence are 0.8 and 1.25. 
PK parameters will be evaluated to estimate the relative bioavailability. Log-transformed Cmax, 
AUC(0-t), and AUC(0-∞) will be evaluated in a linear mixed-effects model with fixed effects for 
treatment, sequence, period, and a random effect for subject within sequence. The treatment 
differences will be back-transformed to present the ratios of geometric means between MUPFP 
and SDP treatments and the corresponding 90% CI.  
AUC(0-tlast), AUC(0-∞), and Cmax will also be analyzed using a linear fixed-effects model. This 
analysis will be performed using PK completer data set. The parameter estimates will be log-
transformed before analysis. The model will include fixed effects for sequence, period, 
treatment, and subject nested within sequence. The LSmeans for each treatment, the difference in 
means between treatments, and the 90% CIs will be estimated from the model and back-
transformed from the log scale to provide estimates of the geometric LSmeans, the ratio of the 
geometric LSmeans, and the 90% CIs. This method is consistent with the EMA recommended 
methodology of analysis.

Sample Size Determination  
Approximately 65 participants may be enrolled so that approximately 54 evaluable participants 
complete the study. A sample size of 54 participants will provide at least 95% power that the 
90% confidence interval of the geometric mean ratio of Cmax and AUC between the 2 devices 
will fall within the equivalence range of 0.8 to 1.25. This assumes a nominal expected mean ratio 
of 1.05 (test vs reference), a within-subject coefficient of variation of 24%.
