Brief summary

This study is being done to look at the safety and effect of NNC0487-0111 in people with excess body weight and knee osteoarthritis when compared to placebo. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get NNC0487-0111, (the treatment being tested) or Placebo (a treatment that has no active medicine in it). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

Interventions

NNC0487-0111 will be administered subcutaneously using PDS290 pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.

Placebo matched to NNC0487-0111 will be administered subcutaneously using PDS290 pre-filled pen-injectors to one of the body parts: thigh, abdomen or upper arm.

Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female (sex at birth) * Age 18 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent * Clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis (OA) (American College of Rheumatology criteria) with radiographic changes (Kellgren Lawrence \[KL\] grades 2 to 4 as per central reading) in target knee. Target knee joint is defined as most symptomatic knee at screening. If pain in knees is equal, the target knee joint will be the dominant leg * Symptomatic knee OA with first appearance of pain in the target knee \> 90 days prior to screening and pain in the target knee for \> 15 days over the prior 30 days * Willingness to complete a 72-hour washout period of analgesics before all visits involving WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index NRS 3.1 (24-hour) (WOMAC) questionnaire (acetaminophen 4 grams (g)/day is allowed as rescue medication up until 24 hours before those visits) Key

Exclusion criteria

* Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) as measured by the central laboratory at screening * History of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus as declared by the participant or reported in the medical records * Treatment with glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA), dual GLP-1/gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) RAs (or any other GLP-1 based treatment), or amylin analogues before screening * Any joint prosthesis or joint replacement in target knee * Arthroscopy or injections into target knee within the last 90 days prior to screening * Any other joint disease in target knee including gout and pseudogout

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Relative change in body weightFrom baseline (week 0) to week 80Measured as percentage change in body weight.
Change in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) 3.1 (24-hour) (WOMAC) pain scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to week 80WOMAC is a participant reported outcome (PRO) measures symptoms in the areas of pain, stiffness, and physical function in participants with osteoarthritis of the hip and/or knee. The measure consists of 24 items yielding 3 subscale scores and 1 total score. WOMAC raw scores are transformed to a standardised 0 to 100 score range. Higher scores indicate worse pain, stiffness, physical function, and overall osteoarthritis-related disability. Subscale score for pain ranges 0-100, where higher score indicates worse pain. Measured as score on a scale.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in WOMAC physical function scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to week 80WOMAC is a PRO measures symptoms in the areas of pain, stiffness, and physical function in participants with osteoarthritis of the hip and/or knee. The measure consists of 24 items yielding 3 subscale scores and 1 total score. WOMAC raw scores are transformed to a standardised 0 to 100 score range. Higher scores indicate worse pain, stiffness, physical function, and overall osteoarthritis-related disability. Subscale score for physical function ranges 0-100, where higher score indicates worse physical function. Measured as score on a scale.
Change in SF-36v2® Health Survey Acute (SF-36v2 Acute) physical functioning scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to week 80SF-36v2 Acute measures Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). The measure consists of 36 items yielding 8 health domain scores and 2 component summary scores. SF-36v2 Acute scores are norm-based scores, i.e. transformed to a scale where the 2009 US general population has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Higher scores indicate better functional health and well-being. The physical functioning ranges from 19.0 to 57.6. Measured as score on a scale.
Change in body weightFrom baseline (week 0) to week 80Measured as kilograms (kg).
Change in body mass index (BMI)From baseline (week 0) to week 80Measured as kilograms per meter squared (kg/m\^2).
Change in WOMAC stiffness scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to week 80WOMAC is a PRO measures symptoms in the areas of pain, stiffness, and physical function in participants with osteoarthritis of the hip and/or knee. The measure consists of 24 items yielding 3 subscale scores and 1 total score. WOMAC raw scores are transformed to a standardised 0 to 100 score range. Higher scores indicate worse pain, stiffness, physical function, and overall osteoarthritis-related disability. Subscale score for stiffness ranges 0-100, where higher score indicates worse stiffness. Measured as score on a scale.
Change in WOMAC total scoreFrom baseline (week 0) to week 80WOMAC is a PRO measures symptoms in the areas of pain, stiffness, and physical function in participants with osteoarthritis of the hip and/or knee. The measure consists of 24 items yielding 3 subscale scores and 1 total score. WOMAC raw scores are transformed to a standardised 0 to 100 score range. Higher scores indicate worse pain, stiffness, physical function, and overall osteoarthritis-related disability. Total score ranges 0-100, where higher score indicates worse pain, stiffness, physical function and overall osteoarthritis related disability. Measured as score on a scale.
Change in waist circumferenceFrom baseline (week 0) to week 80Measured as centimetres (cm).
