Brief Summary:
This will be an open-label, randomized, multicenter, efficacy and safety study of weekly MOD-4023 compared to daily Genotropin therapy in pre-pubertal children with growth hormone deficiency.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency Drug: MOD-4023 Drug: Somatropin Phase 3

Detailed Description:
The study will consist of a 12 month, open-label, randomized, active controlled, parallel group study comparing the efficacy and safety of weekly MOD-4023 to daily growth hormone (GH), Genotropin. After 12 months, subjects will have the option to enter the long term open-label extension.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Annual Height Velocity [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]
    Annual Height Velocity in cm. Annual Height Velocity at 12 months is based on the difference between the heights at 12 months and baseline.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Height Velocity at 6 Months [ Time Frame: After 6 months of treatment ]
    Height velocity in cm measured after 6 months of treatment. Annualized Height velocity after 6 months is calculated based on the difference between the heights at 6 months and baseline.

  2. Change in Height Standard Deviation Score (SDS) [ Time Frame: After 6 and 12 months ]
    Change in height Standard Deviation Score (SDS) after 6 and 12 months is calculated based on the difference between the heights at 6 and 12 months and baseline.

  3. Change in Bone Maturation (BM) [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]
    Annual change in bone age measurements as per Gruelich-Pyle method

  4. Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) Standard Deviation Score (SDS) [ Time Frame: Baseline and at 12 months ]
    Via central lab analysis


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Device [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Proportion of successful single injections out of total number of single injections using the MOD-4023 Pen in the USA

  2. Device [ Time Frame: 1 week ]
    Proportion of successful single injections out of total number of single injections using the MOD-4023 Pen in the USA at Week 1 based on the Observer Assessment Tool (OAT)
