Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Incidence of Adverse Events, Including Injection Site Reactions
Weeks 0-53

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal product, and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. Rate of AEs per 100 patient years at risk with onset after the first administration of trial product and up until end of the trial (53 weeks) or 14 days after last trial drug administration, whichever came first, are presented.

Change in Truncal Fat Percentage (Week 34)
Week -3, week 34

Change in Truncal fat percentage was measured from baseline (week -3) until the end of the main treatment period (week 34).

Height Velocity (HV) (cm/Year) During the First 26 Weeks of Treatment, Measured as Standing Height With Stadiometer
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.
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.

Area under the somapacitan serum concentration time curve
From time 0 to 168 hours after the last dosing on Day 15

Calculated based on somapacitan measured in blood

Incidence of adverse events (AEs)
From first administration of trial product and up until day 35 (final visit)
Incidence of adverse events (Single Dose)
From first administration of trial product and up until day 40
Incidence of adverse events (Multiple Dose)
From first administration of trial product and up until day 49
Secondary Endpoints
Change in Cross-sectional Total Adipose Tissue Compartments
Week 0, week 52
Change in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Compartments
Week 0, week 52
Change in Intra-abdominal or Visceral Adipose Tissue Compartments

Cohort I Norditropin/somapacitanEXPERIMENTALParticipants 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.
Cohort I somapacitan pooledEXPERIMENTALParticipants 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.
Cohort II somapacitan previously treatedEXPERIMENTALParticipant 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.
Cohort III somapacitan treatment naiveEXPERIMENTALParticipants 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.
Cohort III somapacitan previously treatedEXPERIMENTALParticipants 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.
