This study is testing a new medicine, NNC6989-0001, to test it is safe and tolerable for healthy people living with overweight or obesity. NNC6989-0001 is still being tested in studies and is not yet available for prescription by doctors. In this study, participants will receive either NNC6989-0001 or a placebo; which treatment each participant receives will be decided by chance.
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.
