The recent clinical study by Novo Nordisk, titled Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of NNC0519-0130 Once Weekly s.c. Versus semaglutide 1.0 mg and Placebo in People With Chronic Kidney Disease, With or Without Type 2 Diabetes, and With Overweight or Obesity: a Proof-of-concept and Dose-finding Study, aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the new drug NNC0519-0130. This study is significant as it explores potential treatments for chronic kidney disease, a condition affecting many individuals globally.
The intervention being tested is a new drug, NNC0519-0130, administered via subcutaneous injections. The study also includes semaglutide, an existing medication, and a placebo for comparison. The goal is to determine the optimal dose of NNC0519-0130 for reducing kidney damage.
This is a randomized, parallel-assignment, quadruple-masked study primarily focused on treatment. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drug, semaglutide, or a placebo, with neither the participants nor the researchers knowing which treatment is being administered.
The study began on December 2, 2024, with an estimated completion date yet to be announced. The last update was submitted on August 10, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipating results.
The outcome of this study could significantly impact Novo Nordisk’s stock performance, as positive results may enhance investor confidence and market position. It also places Novo Nordisk in a competitive stance against other pharmaceutical companies focusing on chronic kidney disease treatments.
The study is currently ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
