Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests an experimental medicine called NNC0705-0002 in healthy adults. The drug aims to address conditions where inflammation may contribute to heart and metabolic problems. Researchers will give single and multiple oral doses to about 112 participants, some receiving a placebo, to check safety, tolerability, how the drug moves through the body, and how it is absorbed and eliminated. Participation may last up to about 7 weeks, including screening and follow-up.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
NNC0705-0002, an experimental oral medicine being developed for conditions where inflammation may contribute to heart and metabolic health problems
What this could lead to
If this early trial succeeds, NNC0705-0002 could become a new oral treatment for heart and metabolic conditions driven by inflammation.
What could go wrong
This is a first-in-human study with a small number of healthy adults, so the drug may not be safe or effective in patients. Side effects are possible, and the results may not predict how the drug works in people with disease.
