Overview
Brief Summary
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to investigate efficacy and safety of once-weekly NNC0195-0092 treatment compared to daily growth hormone treatment (Norditropin® FlexPro®) in growth hormone treatment naïve pre-pubertal children with growth hormone deficiency.
The main trial period will consist of 26 weeks of treatment, followed by a 26 week extension period.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Boys: Tanner stage 1 for pubic hair and testis volume below 4 ml , age at least 2 years and 26 weeks and below or equal to 10.0 years at screening

- •Confirmed diagnosis of GHD (growth hormone deficiency) within 12 months prior to screening as determined by two different GH (growth hormone) stimulation tests, defined as a peak GH level of below or equal to 7.0 ng/ml. For children with three or more pituitary hormone deficiencies only one GH stimulation test is needed
- •No prior exposure to GH therapy and/or IGF-I (insulin-like growth factor I) treatment

- •Annualized height velocity (HV) below the 25th percentile for CA (chronological age) and gender or below -0.7 SD (standard deviation) score for CA and sex, according to the standards of Prader calculated over a time span of minimum 6 months and maximum 18 months
Exclusion Criteria
- •Any clinically significant abnormality likely to affect growth or the ability to evaluate
- •growth with standing measurements: Chromosomal aneuploidy and significant gene mutations causing medical "syndromes" with short stature, including but not limited to Turner syndrome, Laron syndrome, Noonan syndrome, or absence of GH receptors. Congenital abnormalities (causing skeletal abnormalities), including but not limited to Russell-Silver Syndrome, skeletal dysplasias. Significant spinal abnormalities including but not limited to scoliosis, kyphosis and spina bifida variants
- •Children born small for gestational age (SGA - birth weight and/or birth length below-2 SD for gestational age)

Arms & Interventions
Cohort I Norditropin/somapacitan
Participants received Norditropin subcutaneously daily in main trial period, extension trial period and safety extension trial period. After completing the safety extension trial period (week 156), participants who received Norditropin were allocated to open-labelled Somapacitan dose 3 subcutaneously once weekly for the 208-week (up till week 364) long-term safety extension period. After week 364, participants received somapacitan dose 3 subcutaneously once weekly until somapacitan was available for prescription for children with GHD in their country or until August 2024, at the latest.
Intervention: somapacitan
Cohort I Norditropin/somapacitan
Participants received Norditropin subcutaneously daily in main trial period, extension trial period and safety extension trial period. After completing the safety extension trial period (week 156), participants who received Norditropin were allocated to open-labelled Somapacitan dose 3 subcutaneously once weekly for the 208-week (up till week 364) long-term safety extension period. After week 364, participants received somapacitan dose 3 subcutaneously once weekly until somapacitan was available for prescription for children with GHD in their country or until August 2024, at the latest.
Intervention: Norditropin® FlexPro® pen
Cohort I somapacitan pooled
Participants were randomized (1:1:1) to receive Somapacitan treatment (dose 1/dose 2/dose 3) subcutaneously once-weekly during the 26-week main trial period and the 26-week extension trial period. After completing the main and extension trial periods (week 52), all participants initially randomized to double-blinded Somapacitan received open-labelled Somapacitan dose 3 for the 104-week safety extension trial period. After completing the safety extension trial period (week 156), all participants in cohort I were allocated to open-labelled somapacitan dose 3 for the 208-week (up till week 364) long-term safety extension period. In extension after week 364 period participants received somapacitan dose 3 subcutaneously once weekly until somapacitan was available for prescription for children with GHD in their country or until August 2024, at the latest.
Intervention: somapacitan
Cohort II somapacitan previously treated
Participant who was previously treated with GH (Growth hormone) prior to enrollment in the trial at week 156, received somapacitan dose 3 subcutaneously once weekly until it was available for prescription in participants' respective countries or until August 2024, at the latest.
Intervention: somapacitan
Cohort III somapacitan treatment naive
Participants who were naive to treatment with GH prior to enrolment in the trial at week 156, received open-labelled somapacitan dose 3 subcutaneously once weekly until it was available for prescription in participants' respective countries or until August 2024, at the latest.
Intervention: somapacitan
Cohort III somapacitan previously treated
Participants who were previously treated with GH prior to enrollment in the trial at week 156, received open-labelled somapacitan dose 3 subcutaneously once weekly until it was available for prescription in participants' respective countries or until August 2024, at the latest.
Intervention: somapacitan
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Cohort I: Height velocity (HV) during the first 26 weeks of treatment, measured as standing height with stadiometer
Time Frame: Week 0-26
cm/year
Cohort II and III: Incidence of adverse events, including injection site reactions, in children with GHD
Time Frame: During 208 weeks
Number of events
Height Velocity (HV) (cm/Year) During the First 26 Weeks of Treatment, Measured as Standing Height With Stadiometer
Time Frame: Baseline (week 0), week 26
Height velocity (HV) was derived from height measurements taken at baseline (week 0) and the week 26 as: HV = (height at 26 weeks visit- height at baseline) / (time from baseline to 26 weeks visit in years).
Cohort II and Cohort III - Adverse Events Rate, Including Injection Site Reactions in Children With GHD.
Time Frame: From week 156 up to week 364
This primary outcome measure was analysed by cohort using descriptive statistics. Adverse event per 100 patient years are presented in this outcome measure.
