New diabetes pill tested in humans for the first time
NCT ID NCT05521256
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tested a new experimental drug, NNC0113-6856, in 70 healthy men to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. Participants received either a single oral dose or an injection into the vein. The goal was to gather initial safety data and measure drug levels in the blood, not to treat any disease. This is a first step in possibly developing a new treatment for type 2 diabetes.
