About this trial

This basket trial will enroll prepubertal children and adolescents with clinically diagnosed and genetically confirmed (if applicable) TS, SHOX-D, SGA, or ISS between ages of ≥2 and \<18 years with open growth plates. The purpose of the study is to see how well treatment with once-weekly lonapegsomatropin works compared to treatment with daily somatropin. Approximately 186 participants will be distributed equally (1:1), to receive either lonapegsomatropin for 2 years or somatropin for 1 year followed by lonapegsomatropin for 1 year. This trial will be conducted in the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Romania, Spain and South Korea.
