January 17, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

Comparison of Safety in Small for Gestational Age (SGA) Subjects Treated With Norditropin® (Somatropin) 5 Years Ago With Untreated SGA Subjects and With Normal Average for Gestational Age (AGA) Subjects

The study is conducted in Europe. The primary aim of this observational study is to compare the insulin sensitivity in small for gestational age (SGA) subjects treated with Norditropin® with untreated small for gestational age (SGA) subjects and with average for gestational age (AGA) subjects.
