Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate how safe, and how well tolerated, the new study drug NNC0480-0389 is when it is given together with semaglutide. This will be investigated in healthy participants, participants with high bodyweight and participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D). NNC0480-0389 has not been given to humans before. It has been previously tested in the laboratory and on animals. NNC0480-0389 will be tested at various dose levels. Semaglutide is a new approved drug and is already available on the market for treatment of diabetes. It will also be investigated how quickly and to what extent NNC0480-0389 and semaglutide are taken up and eliminated from the body. This is called pharmacokinetics. The effect of NNC0480-0389 given together with semaglutide will also be investigated on body weight and glucose levels in the blood. This is called pharmacodynamics. The effects of NNC0480-0389 and/or semaglutide will be compared to the effects of a placebo. A placebo is a dummy medicine without any active medicine. Placebo looks like NNC0480-0389 and/or semaglutide. There are 4 possibilities for which treatment participants will get; participants will receive NNC0480-0389 and semaglutide or NNC0480-0389 and placebo or placebo with semaglutide, or placebo with placebo. Participants and the responsible doctor will not know which combination participants will be given. This is called a double-blinded study. However, this information can be looked up during the study if it is important for participants' health. The study medicines will be given as injections under the skin. Participants will be in the study for about 25 weeks.
Interventions
DRUGNNC0480-0389
Part 1: A single dose of NNC0480-0389, dose increased in each cohort. Part 2: Weekly doses (for 4 weeks) of NNC0480-0389, dose increased in each cohort.
DRUGSemaglutide
Part 1: Single dose of semaglutide (0.5 mg). Part 2: Weekly doses of semaglutide alone for 8 weeks (2 x 0.25 mg, 2 x 0.5 mg and 4 x 1 mg) followed by weekly fixed doses of 1 mg semaglutide for 4 weeks.
Placebo for NNC0480-0389. Part 1: A single dose of placebo (NNC0480-0389), dose increased in each cohort. Part 2: Weekly doses (for 4 weeks) of placebo A, dose increased in each cohort.
DRUGPlacebo (semaglutide)
Part 1: Single dose of placebo (semaglutide) (0.5 mg). Part 2: Weekly doses of placebo (semaglutide) alone for 8 weeks (2 x 0.25 mg, 2 x 0.5 mg and 4 x 1 mg) followed by weekly fixed doses of 1 mg semaglutide for 4 weeks.

Inclusion criteria
Part 1: * Male aged 18-45 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent. * Body mass index between 20.0 kg/m\^2 and 29.9 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive). * Considered to be generally healthy based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator. Part 2 (not applicable for proof-of-concept (PoC) cohort): * Body mass index between 20.0 kg/m\^2 and 39.9 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive). * Female of non-childbearing potential or male aged 18-55 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent. * Considered to be eligible based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator. Part 2 (only applicable for PoC cohort): * Body mass index between 25.0 kg/m\^2 and 39.9 kg/m\^2 (both inclusive). Overweight or obesity should be due to excess adipose tissue, as judged by the investigator. * Female of non-childbearing potential or male aged 18-64 years (both inclusive) at the time of signing informed consent. * Considered to be eligible based on the medical history, physical examination, and the results of vital signs, electrocardiogram and clinical laboratory tests performed during the screening visit, as judged by the investigator. * Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at least 90 days prior to the day of screening. * Subjects treated with diet and exercise as monotherapy or in combination with 1-2 of the following anti-diabetic drug(s) at a stable dose for at least 30 days prior to screening: metformin, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, DPP-4 inhibitors, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, GLP-1 receptor agonists or SLGT-2 inhibitors. The metformin dose should be between 1500 mg to 3000 mg or maximum tolerated or effective dose documented in subject's medical record. * Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in the range of 6.5% (inclusive) and 10% (non-inclusive).
