Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Height SDS (Japanese National Reference Data)

Height SDS was calculated using the formula: SDS = (height - mean)/SD, where height was the height variable measured, mean and SD of height by sex and age for the reference population. The scores were centered around zero. Positive SDS indicated greater height and negative SDS indicated lesser height than the mean of the reference population. The change from baseline (week 0) in the height SDS after 104 weeks of treatment was analysed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment as a fixed effect and baseline height SDS as a covariate. Positive value in change from baseline indicated that SDS was better than baseline SDS. Missing values were imputed using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method.

Time frame: Baseline, week 104

Secondary Outcomes

Height Velocity SDS

Height velocity is change in height per year. The height velocity was calculated as the difference between current height (week 52) and height at baseline (week 0) divided by time between those measurement time points and multiplied by 365 days. Height velocity SDS was calculated using the formula: SDS = (height velocity - mean)/SD, where height velocity was the height velocity variable measured, mean and SD of height velocity by sex and age for the reference population. The scores were centered around zero. Positive SDS indicated greater height velocity and negative SDS indicated lesser height velocity than the mean of the reference population.
