A Research Study to Compare Somapacitan Once a Week With Norditropin® Once a Day in Children Who Need Help to Grow

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
SGA, Turner Syndrome, Noonan Syndrome, ISS
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05330325
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

The study compares two medicines for treatment of children born small and who stay small, or with Turner Syndrome, Noonan Syndrome, or idiopathic short stature. The purpose of the study is to see how well treatment with somapacitan works compared to treatment with Norditropin®. Somapacitan is a new medicine, and Norditropin® is a medicine doctors can already prescribe in some countries. The study will last for upto 5.5 years. The participants will either get somapacitan once a week up to 5.5 years or Norditropin® once a day for 1 year followed by somapacitan once a week for up to 4.5 years. Which treatment the participants get is decided by chance.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Height velocity reported separately for small for gestational age (SGA), Turner syndrome (TS), Noonan syndrome (NS) and idiopathic short stature (ISS)From baseline (week 0) to visit 7 (week 52)

Measured in centimeter per year (cm/year)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in bone age reported separately for SGA, TS and NSFrom baseline (week 0) to visit 7 (week 52)

Measured in ratio

Change in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) SDS reported separately for SGA, TS, NA and ISSFrom baseline (week 0) to visit 7 (week 52).

Measured in score. Positive score indicates that the value is closer to or above the reference population compared to baseline.

Change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISSFrom screening (visit 1) to visit 15 (week 156)

Measured in percentage of HbA1c

Change in Height Velocity SDS reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISSFrom baseline (week 0) to visit 7 (week 52)

Measured in score. Positive score indicates that the value is closer to or above the reference population compared to baseline.

Change in fasting plasma glucose reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISSFrom screening (visit 1) to visit 15 (week 156)

Measured in mmol/L

Change in homeostatic model assessment-B (HOMA-B) reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISSFrom screening (visit 1) to visit 15 (week 156)

Measured in %

Change in homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISSFrom screening (visit 1) to visit 15 (week 156)

Measured in %

Change in Height standard deviation scores (SDS) reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISSFrom baseline (week 0) to visit 7 (week 52)

Measured in score. Positive score indicates that the value is closer to or above the reference population compared to baseline.

Change in bone age for ISSFrom screening (visit 1) to visit 7 (week 52)

Measured in ratio

Change in insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) SDS reported separately for SGA, TS, NA and ISSFrom baseline (week 0) to visit 7 (week 52).

Measured in score. Positive score indicates that the value is closer to or above the reference population compared to baseline.

Change in homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR) reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISSFrom screening (visit 1) to visit 7 (week 52)

Measured in %

Weekly average somapacitan concentration (Cavg) based on population PK analysisFrom visit 3 (week 4) to visit 7 (week 52)

Measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL)
