Résumé de l'étude

In this study, the investigational drug Somapacitan is compared to daily administered Norditropin to assess safety and efficacy in children with growth hormone deficiency. Somapacitan is a long-acting growth hormone that needs to be injected subcutaneously once a week, whereas Norditropin needs to be injected subcutaneously once a day. A total of 192 patients will be randomly assigned by a computer system in a 2:1 ratio to one of the two investigational products – Somapacitan (growth hormone once a week) or Norditropin® (growth hormone once a day). The study is not blinded, meaning both the patient and the staff at the investigational site will know which treatment the patient is receiving. In Switzerland, 8 patients are planned across 3 investigational sites. This is an international study that will be conducted at multiple investigational sites worldwide.

Intervention étudiée

The total study duration for each patient is 4 years.

 

The study includes a screening phase of approximately one week, during which it is decided whether the patients are eligible for the study. Eligible patients then begin a 52-week phase, during which they are randomly assigned to the investigational drug Somapacitan or the standard therapy with Norditropin. In the following 3 years, all study patients will be treated with Somapacitan to collect more data on the treatment and its safety.

 

The study includes a total of 19 visits to the study site and 1 phone contact with the principal investigator over 4 years.

 

During the visits to the study site, various examinations (e.g., hand X-ray, height, weight, ECG) will be performed, as well as blood samples taken.
