A Study to Compare the Uptake Into the Blood of Two Strengths of Somapacitan After Injection Under the Skin in Healthy Subjects

August 5, 2019 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Randomised, Double-blind, Single Dose, Three Period, Complete Cross Over Trial in Healthy Subjects Investigating the Pharmacokinetics of Subcutaneous Injections of Somapacitan 5 mg/1.5 mL and 10 mg/1.5 mL

This study will compare two strengths of the new long-acting growth hormone somapacitan. The aim of this study is to test if both strengths are taken up in the blood in the same way. During three separate dosing visits participants will get a total of 3 injections of the study medicine. Somapacitan is not yet approved and therefore cannot be prescribed by a doctor outside of this study. The study duration is between 10 and 15 weeks. Participants will have 17 visits with the study doctor. Three visits will each comprise 6 in-house days with overnight stays. In total, at least 15 overnight stays at the clinic. There will be blood samplings during the study. Participants must come to the clinic regularly for these blood samplings. People who have already received growth hormones in the past or who are growth hormone deficient cannot be in the study. People cannot be in the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks for their health. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 45 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All
