The main aim of this study will be to see if the new study medicine is safe and tolerated by the body after a single dose of study medicine in adults with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Participants will either get NNC4004-0002 (the study medicine), or saline. Which treatment the participant get will be decided by chance.
