To test that LY450139, a gamma-secretase inhibitor, will reduce the rate of newly synthesize Amyloid Beta by determining the amount of newly synthesized 13C6 leucine-labeled Amyloid Beta in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid from LY450139 treated subjects compared with placebo treated subjects.

St Louis, Missouri, United States
To test hypothesis that LY450139, a gamma-secretase inhibitor, will reduce the rate of synthesis of 13C6-leucine-labeled Aβ (newly synthesized) in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Time frame: 0-36 hours post dose
To test the hypothesis that LY450139 has an effect on fractional clearance rate of Amyloid Beta assayed from CSF samples in LY450139-treated subjects compared to placebo-treated subjects.
Time frame: 0-36 hours post dose
To study and evaluate other biomarkers, such as sAPPB and sAPPA that may enable drug effectiveness to be predicted.
Time frame: 0-36 hours post dose
To measure concentrations of Amyloid Beta(1-40), Amyloid Beta(1-42), and leucine in CSF by mass spectrometry.
Time frame: 0-36 hours post dose
To explore the relationship between Amyloid Beta plasma decrease and Amyloid Beta synthesis rate as determined by CSF measurements.
Time frame: 0-36 hours post dose
