Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio

In this study, the once-weekly investigational drug Somapacitan is compared to the daily administered Norditropin to assess safety and efficacy. The body naturally produces a hormone that allows us to grow, called growth hormone. Growth hormone also has other important functions to keep us strong and healthy. Somapacitan and Norditropin® act similarly to growth hormone in the body. Which treatment the child receives is decided randomly. The study is not blinded, meaning both the patient and the staff at the study site will know which treatment the patient is receiving. This is an international study being conducted at multiple study sites worldwide.

(BASEC)

Intervento studiato

The total study duration for each patient is 3 years.

The study includes a screening phase of three to six weeks, during which it is determined whether 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. Somapacitan is a long-acting growth hormone that only needs to be injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once a week. Norditropin is a growth hormone that doctors can already prescribe and needs to be injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once a day.

 

In the following 2 years, all study patients will be treated with Somapacitan to collect more safety data.

 

Overall, the study includes 17 visits to the study site over 3 years.

 

During visits to the study site, various examinations (e.g., hand X-ray, height, weight, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, body composition analysis) will be performed, as well as blood samples taken and questionnaires answered.

 

Eligible participants for the SGA subgroup will be allocated in a 2:1:1 ratio and will receive either Somapacitan 0.24 mg/kg/week (2 out of 4 participants), Norditropin® 0.035 mg/kg/day (1 out of 4), or Norditropin® 0.067 mg/kg/day (1 out of 4).

Eligible participants for the TS/NS/ISS subgroups will be allocated in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Somapacitan 0.24 mg/kg/week (2 out of 3 participants) or Norditropin® 0.05 mg/kg/day (1 out of 3).
