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.

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.
