Frequently asked questions about NNC0537-1482

What is NNC0537-1482?

NNC0537-1482 is an investigational small molecule medicine being developed by Novo Nordisk A/S. It is in Phase 1 clinical development and is being studied in chronic kidney disease and heart failure. It has not been approved for any use and remains an experimental therapy in early human testing.

What is NNC0537-1482 used for in chronic kidney disease and heart failure?

NNC0537-1482 is being studied for chronic kidney disease and heart failure. One Phase 1 trial is evaluating how a single dose moves through the body of participants with normal or reduced kidney function, and another is assessing its effects in participants with heart failure. No approved use exists.

Who makes NNC0537-1482?

NNC0537-1482 is developed by Novo Nordisk A/S, which trades under the ticker NVO. The company is running the Phase 1 clinical program for the small molecule in chronic kidney disease and heart failure, with trials conducted in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.

What phase is NNC0537-1482 in?

NNC0537-1482 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational small molecule and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulator. Three Phase 1 studies are listed, one completed, one recruiting, and one not yet recruiting, with a combined enrollment of 67 participants.

What clinical trials is NNC0537-1482 in?

NNC0537-1482 has three Phase 1 trials. NCT07808788 is not yet recruiting and will study a single dose in participants with normal or reduced kidney function in Germany. NCT07218627 is recruiting participants with heart failure in the United Kingdom. NCT06625307, in healthy individuals in the Netherlands, is completed.

How many participants have been enrolled in NNC0537-1482 trials?

The three Phase 1 trials of NNC0537-1482 have a combined planned enrollment of 67 participants. NCT07808788 plans 54 participants, NCT07218627 plans 36, and the completed NCT06625307 enrolled 31. The studies are uncontrolled, not randomized, and not double blinded.
