Testing a new medicine for weight loss and knee pain

Weight Loss Medicine for Sleep Apnea on CPAP

Study of a new medicine for weight loss and knee pain in osteoarthritis
This trial tests if a new medicine, NNC0487-0111, can help people with excess weight and knee osteoarthritis lose weight and reduce knee pain. It is for people who have had knee pain for at least three months and who can stop taking pain relievers for short periods before study visits.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07533175RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new weight-loss medicine for type 2 diabetes

West Seneca, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07571005RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a New Weight-Loss Medicine for Sleep Apnea
This study tests whether a new injectable medicine called NNC0487-0111 helps people with excess weight and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops repeatedly during sleep) lose weight and improve their sleep apnea—without needing a CPAP machine. The goal is to see if better weight loss can reduce sleep apnea symptoms.

What taking part in a obesity study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
