The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Somapacitan
Treatment: Drugs - Norditropin®

Experimental: Somapacitan weekly - Participants will receive somapacitan weekly for 52 weeks (main trial period). Participants completing the main trial period in both the treatment arms ('Somapacitan weekly' and 'Norditropin® daily') will receive somapacitan weekly for 3 years (extension trial period).

Active comparator: Norditropin® daily - Participants will receive Norditropin® daily for 52 weeks (main trial period).


Treatment: Drugs: Somapacitan
Somapacitan will be administered subcutaneously (s.c.; under the skin) once weekly by PDS290 pen-injector. Somapacitan can be injected any time during the once weekly dosing day. The dose will be calculated based on the subject's current body weight.

Treatment: Drugs: Norditropin®
Norditropin® will be administered s.c. once daily by FlexPro® pen-injector. Norditropin® should be injected daily in the evening. The dose will be calculated based on the subject's current body weight.
