Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

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.

Interventions

  • somapacitanDrug
  • Norditropin® FlexPro® penDrug

Arms5

  • Experimental

    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.

  • Experimental

    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.

  • Experimental

    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.

  • Experimental

    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.

  • Experimental

    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.

Primary outcomes2

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. 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

    Registry description

    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).

  2. 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

    Registry description

    This primary outcome measure was analysed by cohort using descriptive statistics. Adverse event per 100 patient years are presented in this outcome measure.

Secondary outcomes(12)
  1. Cohort I: Change in Height Standard Deviation Score (HSDS)

    Time frame · Baseline (Week 0), week 26, week 52

    Registry description

    Change in height standard deviation score is presented from baseline (week 0) to end of the main trial period week 26 and end of extension trial period week 52. The formula to calculate HSDS is: HSDS = ((Height / M)\*\*L-1) / (L\*S). L: The gender and age-specific power in the Box-Cox transformation, M: The gender and age-specific median, S: The gender and age-specific generalized coefficient of variation. The range for HSDS was -10 to +10. Negative scores indicated a height below the mean height for a child with the same age and gender, whereas positive scores indicated a height above the mean height for a child with the same age and gender.

  2. Cohort I: Change in Height Velocity Standard Deviation Score (HVSDS)

    Time frame · Baseline (Week 0), week 26, week 52

    Registry description

    Change in height velocity standard deviation score is presented from baseline (week 0) to end of main trial period week 26 and end of extension trial period week 52. HVSDS was calculated using the formula: HVSDS = (height velocity - mean)/standard deviation (SD), where height velocity was the height velocity variable measured, mean and SD of height velocity by gender and age for the reference population. The range for HVSDS was -10 to +10. Negative scores indicated a height velocity below the mean height velocity for a child with the same age and gender, whereas positive scores indicated a height velocity above the mean height velocity for a child with the same age and gender.

  3. Cohort I: Adverse Events Rate, Including Injection Site Reactions

    Time frame · From week 0 Up to week 364

    Registry description

    Adverse events per 100 patient years are presented. AEs with an onset after the first administration of trial product and up until 14 days after last trial drug administration for withdrawn participants, and with an onset after the first administration of trial product and up until visit 32 (week 364) or 14 days after last trial drug administration, which ever comes first, for all other participants, are analysed.

    Registry description

    Change in IGF-I SDS is presented from baseline (week 0) to end of main trial period week 26 and end of extension period week 52. The range for IGF-I SDS was from -10 to +10. Negative scores indicated a IGF-I below the mean IGF-I for a child with the same age and gender, whereas positive scores indicated a IGF-I above the mean IGF-I for a child with the same age and gender.

  6. Change in Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 (IGFBP-3) Standard Deviation Score (SDS)

    Time frame · Baseline (Week 0), week 26, week 52

    Registry description

    Change in IGFBP-3 SDS is presented from baseline (week 0) to end of main trial period week 26 and end of extension trial period week 52. The range for IGFBP-3 SDS was from -10 to +10. Negative scores indicated a IGFBP-3 below the mean IGFBP-3 for a child with the same age and gender, whereas positive scores indicated a IGFBP-3 above the mean IGFBP-3 for a child with the same age and gender.

  7. Height Velocity (HV) (cm/Year) at Weeks 52 (Derived From Standing Height)

    Time frame · Baseline (week 0); week 52

    Registry description

    HV was derived from height measurements taken at baseline (week 0) and the week 52 as: HV = (height at 52 weeks visit-height at baseline) / (time from baseline to 52 weeks visit in years)

    Registry description

    Change in Treatment Related Impact Measure from baseline (week 0) to week 26 and week 52 were assessed in children with growth hormone deficiency. This outcome measure was assessed using patient reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires with 3 domains, such as emotional well-being score, physical health score, social wellbeing core and total score. The total score was calculated by taking average of each domain. The scale range for each domain and total score was from 0-100 and a lower score indicates a better health state.

    Total score of Treatment Burden Measure (observer) was assessed at week 26 and at week 52 in children with growth hormone deficiency. This outcome measure was assessed using PRO questionnaires. The scale range for total score was from 0-100 and a lower score indicates a better health state.

  12. Total Score of TB-CGHD-P (The Treatment Burden Measure - Child Growth Hormone Deficiency - Parent/Guardian)

    Time frame · At week 26, at week 52

    Registry description

    Total score of Treatment Burden Measure (parent/guardian) is reported at week 26 and at week 52 in children with growth hormone deficiency.
