Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Part A (SAD): Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

  Measured as count of events. An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. A TEAE is defined as an AE that either has onset time after first trial product administration and no later than the end of study visit or Is present before first trial product administration and increases in severity during the treatment period and no later than the end of study visit.

  From pre-dose (Day 1) to end of study (Day 110)

• Part B (MAD): Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

  Measured as count of events. An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. A TEAE is defined as an AE that either has onset time after first trial product administration and no later than the end of study visit or Is present before first trial product administration and increases in severity during the treatment period and no later than the end of study visit.

  From pre-dose (Day 1) to end of study (Day 131)

• Part C (SAD): Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

  Measured as count of events. An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. A TEAE is defined as an AE that either has onset time after first trial product administration and no later than the end of study visit or Is present before first trial product administration and increases in severity during the treatment period and no later than the end of study visit.

  From pre-dose (Day 1) to end of study (Day 110)

Secondary Outcomes (12)

• Part A (SAD): AUC0-∞, SD; the area under the NNC0491-6075 serum concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity after a single dose

  From pre-dose (Day 1) to end of study (Day 110)

• Part A (SAD): Cmax, SD; the maximum serum concentration of NNC0491-6075 after a single dose

  From pre-dose (Day 1) to end of study (Day 110)

• Part A (SAD): t½, SD; the terminal half-life of NNC0491-6075 after a single dose

  From pre-dose (Day 1) to end of study (Day 110)

• Part A (SAD): tmax, SD; The time to maximum concentration of NNC0491-6075 after a single-dose (only from subcutaneous administration)

  From pre-dose (Day 1) to end of study (Day 110)

• Part B (MAD): AUC0-168h, MD; the area under the NNC0491-6075 serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to 168 hours after last dose

  From pre-dose (Day 22) to 168 hours after last dose (Day 29)

Study Arms (3)

Part A Single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts in healthy participants:

EXPERIMENTAL

Healthy participants, randomized in 3:1 ratio in each of the cohorts will receive single ascending dose of either NNC0491-6075 or placebo in 5 cohorts (Cohort A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5). In cohorts A1, A2 and A3, the participants will receive subcutaneous injection, whereas in cohorts A4 and A5 the administration will be performed intravenously.

Drug: NNC0491-6075; Drug: Placebo

Part B Multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts in dyslipidemia participants

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants with dyslipidemia, randomized in the ratio 2:1 in each of the cohorts will receive multiple ascending dose of either NNC0491-6075 or placebo in 3 cohorts (Cohort B1,B2 and B3). Participants will receive subcutaneous injections of either NNC0491-6075 or placebo once weekly for 4 weeks.

Drug: NNC0491-6075; Drug: Placebo
