A safe test of a new medicine for healthy adults
Official title: A First in Human Dose Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Target Engagement, and Absorption, Metabolism and Excretion of NNC0705-0002 Following Single and Multiple Oral Administrations of NNC0705-0002 in Healthy Adults
Run by Novo Nordisk A/S · NCT07797855 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests a new medicine called NNC0705-0002 in healthy adults to see if it is safe and how it behaves in the body.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-55 who are generally healthy, with BMI 18.5 to 29.9 and weight at least 50 kg, and who are not at risk of pregnancy.
✕Probably not a fit
People with existing health conditions, those outside the age or BMI range, or those with safety concerns may not benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This first-in-human phase 1 trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, target engagement, and metabolism of NNC0705-0002 after single and multiple doses in healthy volunteers. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either NNC0705-0002 or placebo and will be monitored over up to about seven weeks, including screening and follow-up visits. The study is conducted in healthy adults to characterize safety signals before broader testing in patients with inflammation-related cardiometabolic concerns. Key assessments include vital signs, lab tests, ECGs, and monitoring for adverse events. The trial is sponsored by Novo Nordisk A/S with an ICON Groningen site participating in the study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Participants may not receive any direct medical benefit, but the study could help determine whether NNC0705-0002 is safe and how it works in the body.
How similar studies have gone: First-in-human trials of similar anti-inflammatory/ metabolic agents have shown safety signals in early phases, but results for this specific compound are not yet established.

Inclusion Criteria: * Men or women of non-childbearing potential. * Age 18-55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent. * Body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 to 29.9 kilogram per square metre (kg/m\^2) (both inclusive) at screening. * Body weight: greater than or equal to (≥) 50.0 kg at screening. * Considered to be generally healthy based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator. Exclusion Criteria: * Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products. * Any condition, which in the investigator's opinion might jeopardise participant's safety or compliance with the protocol. * Any of the below laboratory safety parameters at screening outside normal range, see designated reference range documents for specific values. * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than (\>) upper limit of normal (ULN) * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>ULN * Total bilirubin (TBL) \>ULN * Creatinine \>ULN * International normalised ratio (INR) \>ULN * High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) greater than (\>)5 milligram per liter (mg/L) (males) and \>8 mg/L (females) * Use of prescription medicinal products or vaccines within 14 days before dosing and/or non-prescription medicinal products within 7 days before dosing. Exceptions are: Topical medications not reaching systemic circulation; less than once per week of over-the-counter acetaminophen/paracetamol and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at their labelled doses for mild pain; vitamins at their labelled doses.
