A Research Study Investigating Safety and Concentration in the Blood After One Dose Tablet of the New Medicine Monlunabant in Healthy Weight Japanese and Caucasian Men

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Obesity
Interventions
Drug: Placebo (monlunabant)
Registration Number
NCT06542536
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

The study is testing a new study drug in healthy normal weight Japanese and Caucasian participants after a single dose. The aim of this study is to see if the new medicine is safe and how it works in the participants body. Oral monlunabant is a new medicine which cannot be prescribed by doctors but has previously been tested in humans. The participant will either get monlunabant or placebo or a combination of both. Which treatment the participant get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 49 days in total.
