Experimental uric acid drug enters first human tests
NCT ID NCT06859073
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called NNC4004-0002 in 60 adults with high uric acid but no symptoms. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo as a single injection under the skin. The main goal is to check safety and how the body handles the drug, with a secondary focus on its ability to lower uric acid levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NNC4004-0002 (an experimental drug given as an injection under the skin)
- What this could lead to
- If this drug is safe and lowers uric acid effectively, it could point toward a new treatment for high uric acid levels, potentially reducing the risk of gout or kidney stones.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 60 people, so the drug may not work or could have side effects. It is the first time this drug is given to humans, so safety is still unknown.
