A Research Study Investigating How a New Medicine NNC0113-5840 Works in People With Overweight or Obesity
What this study is about
The purpose of this clinical study is to find out if NNC0113-5840 is safe for treating people with excess body weight. There are 2 study treatments in this study, participants will get either NNC0113-5840 (the product being tested) or Placebo (treatment that has no active medicine in it), Which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Male or female
- Age 18-55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 34.9 kilogram per meter square (kg/m2) (both inclusive) at screening. Overweight should be due to excess adipose tissue, as judged by the investigator.
- Considered eligible based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit and visit 2, day -1, as judged by the investigator.
Exclusion criteria
- Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products.
- Any condition, which in the investigator's opinion might jeopardise participant's safety or compliance with the protocol.
- Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) more than or equal to (≥) 6.5 percent (%) \[48 millimole per mole (mmol/mol)\] at screening.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
