Description as written by the study sponsor.

This study looks at how the new medicine called NNC0480-0389 works in the body of Chinese men when it is given at different doses together with a fixed dose of semaglutide. Participants will get one injection of NNC0480-0389 and one injection of semaglutide - which dose of NNC0480-0389 participants get is decided by chance. NNC0480-0389 is a new medicine that has not been previously approved. It means that the medicine has not yet been approved by the health authorities. Semaglutide is a newly approved antidiabetic medicine that helps to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. NNC0480-0389 is being developed to be given together with semaglutide. NNC0480-0389 targets a different part of the system that regulates sugar levels in the body than semaglutide. Therefore, it is expected that together NNC0480-0389 and semaglutide will more effectively lower sugar levels in the blood in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will get 2 injections of the study medicine (one of each). It will be injected with a needle into a skin fold on participants abdomen. The study will last for a maximum of 72 days. Partcicipants will have 10 scheduled visits with the study doctor. For 1 of the visits participants will stay at the clinic for 6 days (5 nights). The study includes blood sampling.
