Recruiting studies
- NCT07221851RecruitingPhase 3
Weekly vs daily growth hormone for short stature in children
This trial tests a weekly growth hormone injection (lonapegsomatropin) compared to the standard daily growth hormone shot in children with short stature due to certain conditions. It aims to see if the weekly shot works as well or better and is safe.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 2–17 - NCT05858606Recruiting
Study genes and causes of very short height in children
This study looks at your child’s growth history and performs genetic testing to better understand why some children are very short. It may help researchers identify possible underlying causes and improve care, using blood samples from the child and both parents.
MontpellierAges 4–18 - NCT06309979Recruiting
Growth study for children with idiopathic short stature
This study tests whether an investigational drug can help children with idiopathic short stature (short height with no known cause) grow taller. It may be an option for children who are very short for their age and have not responded well to standard growth hormone therapy.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 2–16 - NCT06382155RecruitingPhase 2
Vosoritide for children with idiopathic short stature
This trial tests a medication called vosoritide to see if it can help children with unexplained short stature grow taller. It's for kids who are very short for their age but have normal growth hormone levels and no other known cause.
California City, CaliforniaAges 3–11 - NCT06927310RecruitingPhase 3
Growth Hormone Injection for Idiopathic Short Stature in Children
This study tests a new growth hormone injection (Inpegsomatropin) to help children with idiopathic short stature (short stature with no known cause) grow taller. It may be an option if your child is very short compared to peers and has not started puberty.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 3–11 - NCT04798690Recruiting
Long-term growth injections for short children
This trial studies the long-term safety and effectiveness of Growtropin®-II, a growth hormone–type injection, in children who are short due to certain causes. It may help your child’s growth over time, while also closely tracking side effects.
Seoul, Seodaemun-guAges 2 years+ - NCT05849389RecruitingPhase 2
Vosoritide for taller growth in girls with Turner syndrome
This Phase 2 study tests vosoritide to help children with Turner syndrome grow taller before puberty. You may be able to join if your child is pre-pubertal, has short height for age, and either has not tried growth hormone or has not responded well to it.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3–11 - NCT07260500RecruitingPhase 2
Growth hormone study for short children born small for gestational age
This trial tests a weekly growth hormone injection called PEG-rhGH to see if it helps short children born small for gestational age grow taller. It may be an option if your child has never taken growth hormone before and meets the height and age requirements.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 3 years+ - NCT06037473Recruiting
PEG growth hormone for short stature in children
This trial tests if a long-acting growth hormone (PEGylated GH) helps children with various causes of short stature grow taller. It may be an option if your child has a condition like growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, or idiopathic short stature.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 18 years - NCT06109935Enrolling by invitation
Long-term study of Sogroya for children with growth hormone deficiency
This trial is looking at how well Sogroya® (a growth hormone medicine) works when used for a long time in children with short stature caused by growth hormone deficiency. The goal is to see if it helps them grow taller safely.
AichiAges birth–18 years - NCT07226089RecruitingPhase 3
Weekly shots vs daily shots for growth in short children
This trial tests if a new weekly growth hormone shot (somatrogon) works as well as a daily one (Genotropin) for children who are short because they were born small or have no clear cause.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 3–11 - NCT07309562RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone trial for short children born small
This study tests an experimental growth hormone (Inpegsomatropin) to help children born small for gestational age who remain short. If your child meets the specific height, age, and puberty criteria, they may qualify.
BeijingAges 2–11 - NCT06110910Recruiting
Growth hormone study for children with short stature
This study tests if growth hormone can safely help children who are shorter than average for their age and gender. It is for children with certain conditions that cause short stature.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 2 years+ - NCT07614152RecruitingPhase 3
Growth hormone treatment for girls with Turner syndrome
This study tests whether a new long-acting growth hormone injection helps girls with Turner syndrome grow taller. Turner syndrome is a genetic condition that affects growth, and this trial will see if this treatment is safe and effective.
AnyangAges 2–12 - NCT05408715Recruiting
Natural history study of growth in children with type II collagen disorders
This study follows children with certain inherited “type II collagen” conditions that cause short height, to better understand how growth changes over time. It does not test a new treatment; it mainly tracks health and growth so doctors can learn what to expect.
ParisAges Up to 12 years - NCT01604395Recruiting
Long-term growth hormone check for children with short stature
This study follows children who are short for their age and checks how safe and effective growth hormone is over the long term. It may help families understand expected benefits and side effects for their specific growth-related condition.
SeoulAges 2 years+ - NCT05308927Enrolling by invitation
Registry for children with Noonan syndrome on growth hormone
This trial is a real-world registry that collects information about children with Noonan syndrome who are treated with Norditropin (a growth hormone). It helps researchers understand how these children do over time in routine care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for short stature?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting short stature studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a short stature trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a short stature trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
