Study on how sticking to growth hormone affects near adult height
This study looks at whether consistently taking growth hormone (Norditropin) helps children reach a height goal by “near final height.” It focuses on children who are short due to growth hormone deficiency or born small for gestational age.
UlmAges birth–15 years - NCT03969329RecruitingPhase 3
Etelcalcetide for children on dialysis with high parathyroid hormone
This Phase 3 trial tests etelcalcetide to lower a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH) in children who have kidney disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism while on hemodialysis. It may help control bone/mineral problems, but the study also checks heart rhythm safety and medication stability.
GhentAges 2–17 - NCT04006808RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Shingles prevention vaccine study for kids with kidney transplants
This study tests whether an investigational shingles (herpes zoster) vaccine is safe and helps prevent shingles in children who have had a kidney transplant. Because these children take medicines to prevent rejection, the study specifically looks at vaccine effects in this higher-risk group.
BrusselsAges 1–17 - NCT03931707Recruiting
Genetic study of newborns in China
This study collects genetic information from very young newborns to better understand early-life health. Your child’s information may help researchers learn about genetics and future research.
