Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan) |
Drug: somapacitan
A single dose administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) of 4 different doses of NNC0195-0092 in an escalating order. Each subject will be allocated to one dose level only. After completion of each dose cohort, a safety evaluation will be conducted prior to dose escalation. Other Name: NNC0195-0092 |
Active Comparator: Norditropin® |
Drug: somatropin
Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily for 7 days. The daily dose is 0.03 mg/kg/day. |
- Incidence of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From first administration of trial product and up until day 35 (final visit) ]
- The area under the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentration-time curve [ Time Frame: From 0 to 168 hours after dosing ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 6 Years to 13 Years (Child) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Confirmed diagnosis of GHD (growth hormone deficiency) as defined by two different GH (growth hormone) stimulation tests, peak GH level below or equal to 7.0 ng/ml. For children with three or more pituitary hormone deficiencies only one GH stimulation test will be needed. If in accordance with country specific practice, growth hormone deficiency can be defined by only one GH stimulation test, peak GH level below or equal to 7.0 ng/ml.
- Pre-pubertal children at screening. Boys: Tanner stage 1 and age above or equal to 6 years and below 13 years. Girls: Tanner stage 1 and age above or equal to 6 years and below 12 years
- Body weight above or equal to 16.0 kg and below or equal to 50.0 kg
- Stable GH replacement treatment for at least 3 months
Exclusion Criteria:
- History or presence of malignancy
- Overt diabetes mellitus (fasting blood glucose above or equal to 7.0 mmol/l)
