Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out if somapacitan is safe and how well somapacitan works in children either born small for gestational age or with Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome or idiopathic short stature. Somapacitan is a new growth hormone medicine for treatment of low level of growth hormone. The study will last for about 3 years. During the study, the participants will be treated with somapacitan once a week. Somapacitan can be injected anytime during the day. The study doctor or nurse will show how to inject somapacitan, so that the participant knows how to do it at home.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of adverse events (AEs) reported separately for small for gestational age (SGA), Turner syndrome (TS), Noonan syndrome (NS) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 26 ]
    Measured as number of events.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of adverse events (AEs) possibly or probably related to somapacitan reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISS [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 26 ]
    Measured as number of events.

  2. Number of adverse events (AEs) reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISS [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 156 ]
    Measured as number of events.

  3. Height Velocity reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISS [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 26 ]
    Measured in centimeters per year (cm/year).

  4. Change in Height standard deviation scores (SDS) reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISS [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 26 ]
    Measured in score. Positive score indicates that the value is closer to or above the reference population compared to baseline.

  5. Change in Height Velocity SDS reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISS [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 26 ]
    Measured in score. Positive score indicates that the value is closer to or above the reference population compared to baseline.

  6. Change in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) SDS reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISS [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 26 ]
    Measured in score. Positive score indicates that the value is closer to or above the reference population compared to baseline.

  7. Change in insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) SDS reported separately for SGA, TS, NS and ISS [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 26 ]
    Measured as score. Positive score indicates that the value is closer to or above the reference population compared to baseline.

  8. Weekly average somapacitan concentration (Cavg) based on population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis [ Time Frame: From baseline (week 0) to week 26 ]
    Measured in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
