Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan)

Drug: somapacitan
Subcutaneous (s.c., under the skin) administration once weekly (Days 1, 8, 15 and 22) of 4 different doses of NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan) in an escalating order
Other Names:
  • NNC0195-0092
  • Active Comparator: Norditropin NordiFlex®

    Drug: Norditropin NordiFlex®
    Subcutaneous (s.c., under the skin) administration daily for 28 days. The daily dosing will be the same as the pre-trial daily dose of human growth hormone (hGH) taken by the adult with growth hormone deficiency

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) [From first administration of trial product and up until Day 49]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan) only: Area under the curve, AUC (0-168h) [From 0 to 168 hours]

    2. Norditropin NordiFlex® only: AUC (0-24h) [From 0 to 24 hours]

    3. NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan), first dose administration only: AUC (0-168h) [From 0 to 168 hours]

    4. Norditropin NordiFlex®, first dose administration only: AUC (0-24h) [From 0 to 24 hours]

    5. NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan): Maximum serum concentration (Cmax) [From 0 to 168 hours]

    6. Norditropin NordiFlex®: Cmax [From 0 to 24 hours]

    7. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I): AUC (0-168h) [From 0 to 168 hours]

    8. IGF-I: Cmax [From 0 to 168 hours]

    9. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3): AUC IGFBP-3(0-168h) [From 0 to 168 hours]

    10. IGFBP-3: Cmax [From 0 to 168 hours]
