  • 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

  • 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
  • Receiving cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 or P glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors/inducers or medications that are metabolized by CYP3A4 or P-gp within 30 days of enrolment

  • Has a history or clinical manifestations of significant renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, metabolic, neurologic, psychiatric, or other conditions that would preclude participation in the study, as determined by the Investigator
  • Has a clinically significant abnormal clinical laboratory test value at Screening, as determined by the Investigator including hematocrit > 48%, or >50% for patients living at high altitude if not receiving testosterone treatment, or hematocrit > 52% if already receiving testosterone treatment
  • 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)
  • Has chronic urticaria or dermatographism
  • Has 25-hydroxy-vitamin D blood level < 20 ng/mL. Participants with initial vitamin D blood measurement < 20 ng/mL may enroll while they receive supplementation per clinical practice
