Experimental: Lonapegsomatropin
Lonapegsomatropin administered once-weekly by subcutaneous injection
|
Drug: Lonapegsomatropin
Study participants are individually dosed with subcutaneous injection of Lonapegsomatropin once-weekly for 52 weeks
Other Name: ACP-011 |
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Throughout the 52 week treatment period ]To evaluate the safety and tolerability of once-weekly lonapegsomatropin in adults with growth hormone deficiency
- Change from Baseline in Trunk Percent Fat [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]Change from baseline in trunk percent fat (as assessed by dual-energy x ray absorptiometry [DXA]) at Week 52
- Change from Baseline in Trunk Fat Mass [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]Change from baseline in trunk fat mass (as assessed by dual-energy x ray absorptiometry [DXA]) at Week 52
- Change from Baseline in Total Body Lean Mass [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]Change from baseline in total body lean mass (as assessed by dual-energy x ray absorptiometry [DXA]) at Week 52
- Evaluate serum IGF-1 and IGF-1 SDS [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]To evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) of once-weekly lonapegsomatropin in adults with growth hormone deficiency
- Evaluate serum hGH, lonapegsomatropin, and mPEG levels [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of once-weekly lonapegsomatropin in adults with growth hormone deficiency
