E.1.2 | Version | 9.1 |
E.1.2 | Level | LLT |
E.1.2 | Classification code | 10056438 |
E.1.2 | Term | Growth hormone deficiency |

E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine safety and tolerability of ascending multiple subcutaneous (sc) doses of NNC126-0083 in AGHD male and female subjects compared to placebo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ascending multiple sc doses of NNC126-0083 in AGHD male and female subjects. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activities. (Trial-related activities are any procedure that would not have been performed during normal management of the subject.) 2. AGHD male or female subjects as defined in the Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of adults with GH deficiency II1 3. On GH replacement therapy > 3 months 4. Body Mass Index (BMI, kg/m^2) of 18.5 to 35.0 kg/m^2, both inclusive 5. Age ≥20 and ≤ 65 years
All subjects will be required to discontinue GH replacement treatment 2 weeks before first NNC126-0083 administration.
Fertile AGHD females must agree to use appropriate contraceptive methods and have a negative pregnancy test at inclusion. (The Danish Medicines Agency usually finds that contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices, injection of prolonged gestagen, subdermal implantation, hormonal vaginal devices and transdermal patches are safe contraceptive methods in connection with medicinal product trials). Fertile femals included in the trial must thus use one of the above-mentioned contraceptive methods together with a barrier method during the entire treatment period and for a period of at least 5 weeks after last visit.

Females of childbearing potential who are pregnant, breast-feeding or intend to become pregnant or are not using adequate contraceptive methods (e.g. barrier method plus contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices, injection of prolonged gestagen, subdermal implantation, hormonal vaginal devices or transdermal patches) for the duration of the study 4. Malignant disease 5. Hypophysectomy due to gigantism 6. Proliferative retinopathy judged by retina-photo within the last year – only with concomitant diabetes 7. Heart insufficiency, NYHA class >2 8. HbA1_C>8.0% - Poorly controlled patients with diabetes mellitus 9.Insulin-treated diabetes mellitus subjects 10. Stable pituitary replacement therapy for less than 3 months 11. Impaired liver function, defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) ≥ 3 times upper normal range 12. Impaired renal function, defines as s-creatinnine ≥135 µmol/L (=1.5 mg/dL) for males and ≥ 110 µmol/L (=1.3 mg/dL) for females 13. Known or suspected allergy to the trial product or related products 14. History of any illnesses or disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator might confound the results of the trial or pose additional risk in administering the trial product to the subject 15. Clinically significant illness within 4 weeks of dosing 16. Any clinically significant abnormal haematology or biochemistry screening tests, as judged by the Investigator 17. Active hepatitis B, measured by surface antigen B (HbsAg) and/or active hepatitis C, measured by positive hepatitis C virus antibody test 18. Positive result of test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies 19. Clinically significant abnormal ECG at screening as evaluated by Investigator 20. Use of any non-prescribed systemic or topical medication except routine vitamins, within 2 weeks prior to dosing. Occasional use of acetylsalicylic acid and paracetamol is permitted 21. Donation of blood or plasma in the past month or in excess of 500 ml within the 12 weeks preceding screening 22. Surgery or trauma with significant blood loss within the last 3 months prior to dosing. 23. A significant history of alcoholism or drug/chemical abuse, or who consumes more than 28 units of alcohol per week (one unit of alcohol equals about 250 ml of beer or lager, 1 glass of wine, or 20 ml of spirits) 24. Mental incapacity or language barriers which preclude adequate understanding or cooperation, who are unwilling to participate in the trial or who in the opinion of their general practitioner or the Investigator should not participate in the trial 25. Strenuous exercise during the trial 26. Any condition interfering with trial participation or evaluation or that may be hazardous to the subject
