Outcome(s)

Primary Outcome

Primary Outcome Measures :
1.Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Treatment-Related Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 0) up to 365 days after last dose of study medication ]
Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 365 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Relatedness to Recifercept was assessed by the investigator (Yes/No). Participants with multiple occurrences of an AE within a category were counted once within the category.
2.Height [ Time Frame: Change in height from baseline up to 365 days after last dose ]
Increase in height growth above expected in reference population
3. PK Cohort: PK after single doses of 2 formulations [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 57 ]
To evaluate the PK of single subcutaneous doses of 2 formulations (process 1c and process 2) of recifercept

Secondary Outcome

Secondary Outcome Measures :
1.Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in Vital Signs [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (Day 365) ]
Following parameters were analyzed for examination of vital signs: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, radial pulse and body temperature.
2.Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in Physical Examination [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (Day 365) ]
Following parameters were analyzed for examination of systems; A physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal systems and skin.
3.Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (Day 365) ]
Following parameters were analyzed for laboratory examination: hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, platelet count, white blood cell count, total neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, lymphocytes); blood chemistry (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, total bicarbonate, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, uric acid albumin, total protein)
4.Pharmacokinetics - Apparent Clearance (CL/F) [ Time Frame: Day(s) 4, 8, 15, 29, 61, 91, 183, 365 ]
Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance was estimated from population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

15.Change from baseline CHAQ questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (Day 365) in CHAQ component and index scores ]
The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) is a 36-item measure of health status and physical function.
16.Change from baseline QoLISSY Brief Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (Day 365) in QoLISSY Brief total score ]
QoLISSY Brief measures health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children 4-18 years old from the participant and parent perspectives.The 9 items on the QoLISSY Brief were selected from the full QoLISSY physical, social and emotional HRQoL dimensions. The QoLISSY Brief questions ask the participant or caregiver about their status currently. Intended for children or caregivers of children, the instrument uses a 5-point Likert Scale ranging from 'not at all/never' to 'extremely/always'. The QoLISSY Brief total score is the 0-100 transformed sum of the 9 item scores, with higher scores representing better quality of life.
