Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, availability and distribution in the body of once-weekly long-acting growth hormone (NNC0195-0092, somapacitan) compared to once daily Norditropin NordiFlex® in adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

somapacitan

Intervention Type DRUG

Subcutaneous (s.c., under the skin) administration once weekly (Days 1, 8, 15 and 22) of 4 different doses of NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan) in an escalating order

Norditropin NordiFlex®

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Norditropin NordiFlex®

Intervention Type DRUG

Subcutaneous (s.c., under the skin) administration daily for 28 days. The daily dosing will be the same as the pre-trial daily dose of human growth hormone (hGH) taken by the adult with growth hormone deficiency
