Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

Researchers are running a first-in-human trial of NNC0642-1895, an experimental medicine given as a single intravenous dose. The study enrolls about 148 healthy adults aged 18 to 55 with a body mass index between 18.5 and 29.9. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo, assigned by chance, and researchers track side effects and measure how the drug moves through the body over roughly 14 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
NNC0642-1895, an experimental medicine given as a single intravenous dose
What this could lead to
If the drug proves safe and behaves predictably in the body, it could move into later trials that test whether it helps people with a specific disease.
What could go wrong
This is a first-in-human study, so researchers know little about how the drug affects people. It may cause unexpected side effects, and most drugs at this stage do not advance to become approved treatments.
