A Study to Look at How Safe a New Medicine (NNC0491-6075) is in Healthy People and in Participants With High Levels of Fat in the Blood

Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Healthy Volunteers, Dyslipidaemia

In brief

The study is testing a new study medicine to treat people with high levels of fat in the blood. The main aim of the study is to see if the new study medicine is safe and how it works in the body. Participants will either get NNC0491-6075 (the new study medicine) or placebo (a "dummy medicine" without active ingredients). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. NNC0491-6075 is a new medicine which cannot be prescribed by doctors. The study has 3 parts (Part A, Part B and Part C). In Part A, investigators look at the effect of the study medicine after a single dose in healthy participants. Participants will get the study medicine either as injection(s) under the skin or as an infusion into a vein by the study staff. In Part B, investigators look at the effect of receiving the study medicine once weekly for four weeks in participants with high levels of fat in the blood but who are otherwise healthy. Participants will get the study medicine as injections under the skin by the study staff. In Part C, investigators look at the effect of the study medicine after a single dose in healthy participants of Japanese origin. Participants will get the study medicine either as injection(s) under the skin or as an infusion into a vein by the study staff. The study will last for about 18 months in total for Part A, Part B and Part C. Participants in Part A and Part C will be in the study for about 139 days each, from screening to the final visit while in Part B they will be in the study for about 160 days from screening to the final visit.

You may qualify if…

Part A:
Men or women of non-childbearing potential
Aged 18-55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent
Considered to be generally healthy based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests (presence of dyslipidaemia [example hypertriglyceridemia] is allowed) performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator
Body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 34.9 kilograms per square meter (kg/m\^2) (both inclusive) at screening
Non-Japanese defined as not meeting inclusion criteria for Part C
Part B:
Men or women of non-childbearing potential
Aged 18-64 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent
Dyslipidaemia at screening defined as all the below: Fasting serum triglycerides (TGs) greater than or equal to 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and less than or equal to 500 mg/dL. Participants must have two measurements performed for eligibility. Both measurements must be greater than or equal to 135 mg/dL and at least one must be greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL. One of the measurements may be based on medical records or pre-screening results if the test is no more than 90 days old. If TGs are measured twice during the screening period, the tests must be performed with at least 4 days apart. TGs measured in the screening period must be after a 10 hour fast
Fasting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) greater than or equal to 50 mg/dL and less than 190 mg/dL
Considered to be generally healthy based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator
BMI between 18.5 and 34.9 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive) at screening
If on statin therapy the dose must have been stable for at least 8 weeks before screening and must be intended to remain stable throughout the study
Part C:
Men or women of non-childbearing potential
Aged 18-55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent
Considered to be generally healthy based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests (presence of dyslipidaemia [example, hypertriglyceridemia] is allowed) performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator
BMI between 18.5 and 34.9 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive) at screening
Japanese defined as both biological parents of Japanese descent

You may not qualify if…

Part A,B and C:
Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products
Any disorder, which in the investigator's opinion might jeopardise participant's safety or compliance with the protocol
Use of prescription or non-prescription medicinal products within 14 days before screening. Exceptions are: Topical medications; occasional use of over-the-counter acetaminophen or Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at their labelled doses for mild pain; and statin therapy in Part B only if the dose has been stable for at least 8 weeks prior to screening and is intended to remain stable throughout the trial
Any laboratory safety parameters at screening outside the below laboratory ranges, see designated reference range documents for specific values: Alanine aminotransferase greater than upper limit of normal (ULN) +50 percentage (%), Aspartate aminotransferase greater than ULN +50%, Total Bilirubin greater than ULN +20%, Creatine kinase greater than ULN +50%.
