Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults age 18–64 with obesity primarily due to excess body fat, who are medically stable, not diabetic, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and able to attend on-site visits are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

People with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, HbA1c ≥6.5%, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those on recent incretin or amylin therapies, or with recent clinically significant weight change are excluded and unlikely to benefit from participating.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1, interventional trial randomizes adults with obesity to receive once-weekly subcutaneous injections of either NNC0487-0111 or a matched placebo. Treatments are assigned by chance and participants and staff are given matched injections to compare effects against placebo. Study visits include measurement of appetite, controlled meal intake, and post-meal metabolic measures to see how the investigational drug alters those responses. Enrollment is limited to adults 18–64 without diabetes and with stable weight prior to screening.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the drug could help reduce post-meal appetite and food intake and improve metabolic responses in people with obesity.

How similar studies have gone: Other incretin-related and metabolic drug programs have shown appetite and weight effects in prior studies, but NNC0487-0111 itself appears to be a novel compound being tested for these specific meal-related effects.

* Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 6.5 percent (%) (48 millimole per mole \[mmol/mol\]) at screening.
