Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Height Velocity at Month 6 Using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) Method
Baseline, Month 6

Baseline height is defined as the last available height measurement before randomization. Baseline height velocity = (\[Baseline height minus height measurement obtained at least 6 months prior\] / 6) \* 12. Height velocity at Month 6 = (\[Month 6 height minus height measurement obtained at least 6 months prior\] / 6) \* 12.

Percentage of Participants With Less Than 11 Tender Points at Month 6
Month 6

The musculoskeletal component in form of pain on palpation in at least 11 of 18 tender point sites is required to fulfill the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for fibromyalgia syndrome, An important response is considered when the number of tender points falls below 11 since it is the threshold for fibromyalgia diagnosis.

Percentage of Participants With Less Than 11 Tender Points at Month 12
Month 12

The musculoskeletal component in form of pain on palpation in at least 11 of 18 tender point sites is required to fulfill the ACR criteria for fibromyalgia syndrome, An important response is considered when the number of tender points falls below 11 since it is the threshold for fibromyalgia diagnosis.

Height Velocity
Month 12

Height Velocity (HV) is the change in height since the previous year´s measurement and more precisely: HV = {(h-hp)/(d-dp)} \* 365.25 \[centimeter (cm)/year\] where h is current height in cm, hp is previous height in cm, closest to 1 year previous, d is the current date and dp is the date of measurement of previous height, closest to 1 year previous. Additionally, d and dp have to be within 0.6 years and 1.5 years. HV is the mean height velocity over the interval between d and dp but is displayed as HV at d.

Saizen® 0.057 mg/kg/dayEXPERIMENTALSubjects who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to 0.057 mg/kg/day in this multi-center study. Subjects were stratified at randomization according to the Height-Standard Deviation Score (H-SDS) at this time (less than \[\<\] -2 SDS or greater than \[\>\] -2 SDS)
Saizen® 0.035 mg/kg/dayEXPERIMENTALSubjects who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to 0.035 mg/kg/day in this multi-center study. Subjects were stratified at randomization according to the H-SDS at this time (\< -2 SDS or \> -2 SDS)

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
Saizen®DRUGSubjects in the Saizen test group will receive Saizen (recombinant-human growth hormone \[r-hGH\]) subcutaneously 6 days per week at a weight based dose of 0.067 milligram per kilogram of body weight per day (mg/kg/day) for 12 months.
Placebo and Saizen®DRUGPlacebo matched to Saizen® will be administered for the first 6 months followed by treatment with Saizen® (Somatropin) 0.006 mg/kg subcutaneously daily for next 6 months. Saizen® dose will be titrated (an increase of 0.2 milligram per day) if the increase in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is less than 50 percent of the baseline value. Dose titrations will be made at Month 7 and 9.
