This completed Phase 1 trial tested a new drug called NNC0519-0130 in 134 overweight or obese adults. The goal was to see if different ways of increasing the dose could reduce side effects. Participants received weekly or twice-weekly injections for about 24 weeks. The study focused on safety and tolerability, not weight loss.
