The purpose of this study is to find out if somapacitan is safe and how well somapacitan works in children either born small for gestational age or with Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome or idiopathic short stature. Somapacitan is a new growth hormone medicine for treatment of low level of growth hormone. The study will last for about 3 years. During the study, the participants will be treated with somapacitan once a week. Somapacitan can be injected anytime during the day. The study doctor or nurse will show how to inject somapacitan, so that the participant knows how to do it at home.
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Novo Nordisk (NVO) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (12/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
