  Purpose

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the trial drug is eliminated from the body) of '2-0453 in overweight/obese, but otherwise healthy male and female volunteers. Selected subjects will continue in a follow-up period of up to 5 years.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number and severity of adverse events [ Time Frame: from the first trial related activity (Day 1) and until completion of the post treatment follow-up visit (Day 22 +/- 1) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Terminal half-life (t½) [ Time Frame: after administration of a single dose of trial drug ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • AUC 0-24h, area under the '2-453 concentration-time curve [ Time Frame: from 0 to 24 hours after steady state ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 117

Study Completion Date: September 2011
Primary Completion Date: December 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Trial, part 1 (males only) Drug: '2-0453
Administration of a single subcutaneous (under the skin) dose of '2-0453. Up to 7 escalating dose levels will be investigated. Progression to next dose level will be based on a safety evaluation.
Drug: placebo
Placebo will be administered as a comparator at each dose level.
Experimental: Trial, part 2 (males and females) Drug: '2-0453
Administration of multiple subcutaneous (under the skin) doses for 10 weeks. Up to 4 escalating dose levels will be investigated. Progression to next dose level will be based on a safety evaluation.
Drug: placebo
Placebo will be administered as a comparator at each dose level.

Detailed Description:

Due to an unfavourable benefit-risk profile observed during the phase 1 trial for the obesity project, NN9161, Novo Nordisk has decided to terminate further clinical development.
