Study summary

In this study participants will receive NNC0385-0434. NNC0385-0434 is being developed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, a fat metabolism disorder characterized by high levels of cholesterol in the blood. The dose to be tested in this study is 40 mg NNC0385-0434.

NNC0385-0434 is a new potential medicine that is currently being tested for intake as a tablet. It is not yet approved and cannot be prescribed yet. Besides 40 mg of NNC0385-0434, each tablet also contains 500 mg of the absorption enhancing agent SNAC, which helps to move NNC0385-0434 from the stomach into the blood.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of food intake on the amount of NNC0385-0434 in the blood after multiple tablet intake. For this purpose, NNC0385-0434 is given either after a high-fat breakfast or on an empty stomach. After dosing, participants must either fast for another 4 hours or receive a meal 30 minutes after dosing, depending on the group participants are assigned to. After taking the NNC0385-0434 tablets, the amount of NNC0385-0434 (and of SNAC) in the blood will be measured. The effect of food intake on the uptake of NNC0385-0434 into the body will be investigated so that correct and safe intake recommendations and medicine labels can be given.

The study can last for up to approximately 14 weeks for each participant, with a total of 7 clinic visits. This includes a screening period (up to 4 weeks) and one in-house treatment period (together a total of 13 consecutive days). It also includes a follow-up period with 5 ambulatory visits at the clinic (for approximately 7 weeks [total of 50 days] after the last dosing). participants will have blood tests at every clinic visit. Participants must be healthy and have a body mass index (BMI) between 20.0 and 34.9 kg/m2 (both inclusive). Only men can participate in this clinical study.
