What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 that mimics natural hormones to help people feel full. It aims to help those who are overweight or obese manage their weight. The study will check if the medicine is safe and how it affects body weight.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial investigator to understand any specific requirements.

What makes the drug NNC0487-0111 unique for treating obesity?

The drug NNC0487-0111 is unique because it may involve a novel mechanism of action or combination of ingredients not found in existing obesity treatments, potentially offering greater effectiveness or safety compared to current options like phentermine, sibutramine, and orlistat, which have limited weight loss effects and side effects.12345

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug NNC0487-0111 for obesity?

The research highlights that losing even 5% of body weight can lead to significant health improvements, and this is a common target for new obesity drugs. While specific data on NNC0487-0111 is not provided, the general effectiveness of weight loss drugs in achieving clinically meaningful weight loss is supported by the literature.678910

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults aged 18-55 with a BMI of 25.0 to 39.9 kg/m^2, who are in good health based on medical history, physical exams, and lab tests. It's not for those with certain blood or enzyme abnormalities or other conditions that could risk safety or protocol adherence.

Published Research Related to This Trial

Mild to moderate obesity affects public health more significantly than severe obesity, indicating a need for effective management strategies targeting this larger population.
An individualized approach to obesity treatment, along with advancements in pharmacologic therapies, may offer better outcomes compared to traditional lifestyle and behavioral modifications.
Medical therapy for obesity.Dayyeh, BK., Kaplan, LM.[2011]
Successful treatment of obesity should not only focus on weight loss but also consider other measures like body mass index, body fat percentage, and improvements in obesity-related health complications such as diabetes and hypertension.
As obesity is a chronic disease, maintaining weight loss is crucial, and treatment success should be defined with varying criteria for minimal, intermediate, and full success based on individual responses.
Proposed standards for judging the success of the treatment of obesity.Atkinson, RL.[2019]
In a study of 598 patients with grade III obesity who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, an average weight loss of 45.5 kg (33.5%) was achieved within the first year post-surgery.
The surgery significantly improved obesity-related comorbidities, with reductions in serum glucose, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol, as well as a decreased prevalence of diabetes and dyslipidemia, indicating its efficacy in long-term health improvement.
