Trial summary

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effect of abnormal liver (hepatic) function on the amount of trial drug getting into the body and removal of the drug from the body (this is called pharmacokinetics). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety and Tolerability of Multiple Doses of Somapacitan in Subjects With Mild and Moderate Degrees of Hepatic Impairment Compared to Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effect of abnormal liver (hepatic) function on the amount of trial drug getting into the body and removal of the drug from the body (this is called pharmacokinetics).

In this trial the participants will receive three subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of the trial drug somapacitan. Somapacitan is a long-acting growth hormone analogue (a drug similar to human growth hormone) intended for once-weekly subcutaneous administration.

Being tested
Somapacitan
Medical subject headings
Dwarfism, Pituitary

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SomapacitanDrug

    3 once-weekly subcutaneous administrations (s.c., under the skin) of somapacitan with a dose of 0.08 mg/kg

Study groups in NCT03212131
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Normal hepatic functionExperimentalSubjects with normal hepatic function
Receives: Drug: Somapacitan
Mild hepatic impairmentExperimentalSubjects with mild hepatic impairment
Receives: Drug: Somapacitan
Moderate hepatic impairmentExperimentalSubjects with moderate hepatic impairment
Receives: Drug: Somapacitan

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area under the somapacitan serum concentration time curve

    Calculated based on somapacitan measured in blood

    Measured: From time 0 to 168 hours after the last dosing on Day 15

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Maximum serum concentration of somapacitan

    Calculated based on plasma somapacitan activity measured in blood

    Measured: After the last dosing on Day 15 until Day 43

  2. Time to maximum serum concentration of somapacitan

    Calculated based on plasma somapacitan activity measured in blood

    Measured: After the last dosing on Day 15 until Day 43

  3. Incidence of adverse events

    Count

    Measured: From first dosing to Day 43

  4. Occurrence of anti-somapacitan antibodies

    Count

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 43

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Somapacitan in people with Growth Hormone Disorder and Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in Slovakia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Slovakia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area under the somapacitan serum concentration time curve (time frame: From time 0 to 168 hours after the last dosing on Day 15). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03212131, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 May 2019.
