Phase III dose-comparison study of JR-401 in pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency

An open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, phase III study to verify the superiority and evaluate the efficacy and safety of daily administration of JR-401 (0.3 mg/kg/week) versus daily administration of JR-401 (0.175 mg/kg/week) in pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency

Inclusion criteria
