This study is testing a new study medicine to treat people living with overweight or obesity. The aim of this study is to see if the medicine is safe, how it works in human body, and what human body does to the study medicine. Participants will either get the new study medicine NNC0174-1213, a study medicine called "cagrilintide" or a placebo (a "dummy medicine" similar to the new study medicine and study medicine but without active ingredients). Which treatment participants will get is decided by chance. The new study medicine and the study medicine are potential new medicines which cannot be prescribed by doctors. This study will last for about a year in total.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Novo Nordisk (NVO) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (12/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
