Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of somapacitan versus Norditropin® on longitudinal growth in children with short stature born small for gestational age with no catch-up growth by 2 years of age or older.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effect and safety of somapacitan versus Norditropin® in children born small for gestational age with no catch-up growth by 2 years or older.;Primary end point(s): Height velocity;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline (week 0) to visit 5 (week 13)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
