- Requires chronic pharmacologic support for the initiation and/or continuation of pubertal maturation
- Have a body mass index (BMI)-for-age greater than the 5th percentile and weigh ≥ 30 kg
- If sexually active with a female partner of child-bearing potential, agrees to:; Practice true abstinence including 30 days after the last IP administration, or,; Use 2 adequate forms of highly effective contraception, one of which should be a physical barrier, during the study and for 30 days after the last IP administration

- Is receiving any other medication or has a condition that would preclude safe participation in the study or confound the evaluation of safety, as determined by the Investigator
- Is currently taking supraphysiologic doses of systemic glucocorticoids for more than 3 weeks, except for intermittent short courses of exogenous glucocorticoids as needed for the treatment of asthma
- Has received any other investigational compound within 1 month prior to screening or 5 half-lives of the investigational product (whichever is longer)
- Has received gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, aromatase inhibitors, androgens (eg, dehydroepiandrosterone [DHEA]), anabolic steroids such as oxandrolone, or other sex steroids within 12 months before the Screening visit, or would require these treatments at any time during the study

- Has Stage 1 hypertension, defined as the average of 2 or more seated right arm BP measurements exceeding the 95th percentile for age, sex, and height, or SBP ≥ 130 mm Hg and/or DBP ≥ 80 mm Hg at Screening or Day 1
- Has abnormal thyroid function tests at Screening. May supplement per usual clinical practice and rescreen up to two times
- Has suspected or known constitutional growth delay in growth and puberty (CDGP)
- Has evidence of a clinically significant 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality at Screening, as determined by the Investigator
- Has a current suspected or diagnosed (and unresected) tumor of the pituitary gland with the exception of Rathke's cleft cyst or a stable non-functioning pituitary microadenoma (ie, lesion size < 10 mm that has not increased in size over a period of 1 year on repeat imaging), as determined by the Investigator
- Has any affirmative responses on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) questionnaire to questions #3, #4, or #5 or any affirmative response to questions #1 or #2 within the past 12 months on the suicide ideation questions (first section) OR any affirmative response on the suicidal behavior questions (the second section)
