About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GB06 (a biosimilar of Norditropin®FlexProTM from Novo Nordisk) for the treatment of growth disorders caused by growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in children.

It aims to determine whether the annual height velocity (an index of height growth rate) in children diagnosed with GHD after 52 weeks of GB06 intervention is comparable to that of Norditropin®FlexProTM. To achieve this, the participants will administer GB06 or Norditropin®FlexProTM at 0.035mg/kg/day for 52 consecutive weeks.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

The legal guardian of the participant understands and signs the written informed consent form (ICF); Participants over 8 years old are also required to sign the ICF, and if they are under 8 years old but can express consent, their opinions should be clearly documented.

Age ≥ 3 years old and ≤ 11 years old (boys) or ≤ 10 years old (girls);

Height below two standard deviations (SD) of the average height of children of the same age and gender;

Annual height velocity (AHV) <5cm/year, based on height within 6 months to 18 months before screening;

Disqualifiers

Known allergy to ingredients of the study drug;

Previous treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) or IGF-1 or combination with other treatments that may affect growth;

Administration of any investigational drug within 3 months before screening or participation in another clinical trial before randomization;
