Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria

- Have a body mass index within the range of 18 to 34 kilogram/square meter (kg/m²) (inclusive).
- For Japanese participants: To qualify as a participant of first-generation Japanese origin, the participant, the participant's biological parents, and all of the participant's biological grandparents must be of exclusive Japanese descent and born in Japan.
- Have venous access sufficient to allow for blood sampling or administration of study intervention for IV administration, or both. Part A (SAD) Only
- Participant must be 30 to 85 years of age (inclusive), at the time of signing the informed consent
- Are overtly healthy
- For Chinese participants: To qualify as Chinese for this study, all 4 of the participant's biological grandparents must be exclusive Chinese descent and born in China. Part B (MAD) Only
- Participant must be 40 to 85 years of age (inclusive), at the time of signing the informed consent
- Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease per United Kingdom (UK) Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank Clinical Diagnostic Criteria.
- If presently untreated for Parkinson's disease, clinical status is not expected to require changes in symptomatic treatment within 52 weeks from baseline.
- If presently being treated for Parkinson's disease, receiving a stable dose of symptomatic dopaminergic therapy, including monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor, levodopa/carbidopa or dopamine agonist for at least 90 days prior to baseline and not expected to change within 52 weeks.
- Have a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of greater than or equal to (≥) 24.
Exclusion criteria
- Part A (SAD) and B (MAD)
- Have significant neurological disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS) (other than Parkinson's disease in Part B cohorts) that may affect the participant's ability to complete the study.
- Have a history or presence of serious or unstable illnesses or conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with the analyses in this study, or increase risk for study intervention administration, or result in a participant's life expectancy of less than 24 months.
- Have known allergies to LY4006896, related compounds, or any components of the formulation, or history of allergic reactions to any transferrin receptor antibodies.
- Have significant allergies to humanize monoclonal antibodies.
- Have clinically significant multiple or severe drug allergies (including, but not limited to, erythema multiforme major, linear immunoglobulin A dermatosis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, or exfoliative dermatitis); or intolerance to topical corticosteroids, or severe posttreatment hypersensitivity reactions.
- Have history or presence of uncontrolled asthma, significant autoimmune disease, hereditary angioedema, or known history of common variable immune deficiency.
- Evidence of clinically significant anemia. Part A (SAD) Only
- Have an abnormal blood pressure or pulse rate, or both, as determined by the investigator, or a preexisting history of hypertension. Part B (MAD) Only
- Have an abnormal blood pressure or pulse rate, or both, as determined by the investigator, or have uncontrolled hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure \>150 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure \>95 mm Hg at Screening or Treatment Visits.
- Have an implanted deep brain stimulation (DBS) system or any other implanted neurostimulation device (including but not limited to spinal cord stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation or investigational neuromodulation devices)
- Are receiving continuous infusion therapy with anti-parkinsonian medications, including but not limited to subcutaneous foslevodopa-foscarbidopa, subcutaneous apomorphine, or intraduodenal/intestinal levodopa formulations

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
