NCT ID NCT07184632
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new medicine called NNC0662-0419, given as a weekly shot, to see if it helps people with overweight or obesity lose weight safely. About 224 adults aged 18-65 with a BMI of 27 or higher will receive either the drug or a placebo. The main goals are to check for side effects and measure weight change over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NNC0662-0419
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new once-weekly injection for weight management in people with overweight or obesity.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 224 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug is still experimental and may have side effects or fail to show meaningful weight loss.
