Further study details as provided by Novo Nordisk:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Primary objective is to investigate changes in height Standard Deviation Score (SDS) [ Time Frame: in response to 12 months Norditropin® treatment in children with PWS (referenced to PWS population ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Changes in height SDS from start of treatment to last observation during Norditropin treatment (referenced to PWS population1) [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in body composition (DEXA, Bio impedance or stable isotope dilution) [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Height velocity (HV) and change in HV [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Glycated Fraction of Haemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Haematology [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and active form of free thyroxin [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Adverse Events. [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
