Recruiting studies
- NCT03972345Enrolling by invitation
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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT05043753Recruiting
Ultrasound screening for abnormal baby growth late in pregnancy
This trial studies whether a specific ultrasound approach can better detect problems with fetal (baby) growth in the later part of pregnancy. It may help identify concerns earlier so your care team can plan the next steps.
Modena, ModenaAges 18–45 - NCT07143825Recruiting
Survey on small vulnerable newborns
This study collects information about newborns who are small, early, or low weight to better understand their health and how to help them.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07483424Enrolling by invitation
Growth restriction in full-term babies: body composition study
This study looks at how body composition differs in full-term babies who had intrauterine growth restriction. It may help doctors better understand and care for these infants.
LisbonAges 9 months–9 months - NCT06226051Recruiting
Growing Little PEAPODS Preterm Baby Study
This study follows the growth and body composition of very premature babies (born between 22 and 32 weeks) to learn how they develop. It uses a special device called the PEAPOD to measure body fat, which may help improve care for preemies.
Madison, WisconsinAges 5 months–7 months - 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 - NCT05144035RecruitingPhase 4
Early growth-hormone treatment for small baby’s brain development
This study tests whether starting a growth hormone treatment early helps a baby’s thinking and learning development. It is for babies who are small for their gestational age and show delays on a developmental screening test.
Wuhan, WuhanAges 6 months–2 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 - 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+ - NCT03662178Recruiting
Ultrasound check plan for healthy baby growth during pregnancy
This trial looks at how a structured ultrasound schedule may help track fetal (baby) growth during routine prenatal care. It may benefit patients by improving how pregnancy growth checks are planned and recorded.
Oxford, OxfordshireAges 16–60 - NCT04720690Recruiting
Monitoring body water and blood flow in newborns
This study tests how well simple, harmless sensors and cuff checks work to monitor circulation and body water in newborns. It may help clinicians understand what “normal” looks like in both term and preterm babies, including some smaller babies.
LondonAges Up to 6 months - NCT06676904Recruiting
Platelet transfusion study for very preterm babies
This study looks at the best way to decide when to give platelet transfusions to very premature babies. It aims to help prevent bleeding while avoiding unnecessary transfusions.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 hour–2 days - NCT06723392RecruitingPhase 3
Treating bladder bacteria in pregnancy to prevent infections
This trial tests if a common antibiotic can safely treat bacteria in the urine of pregnant women who have no symptoms, to see if it prevents later infections. It focuses on women in low- and middle-income countries.
Dhaka, BangladeshAges 18–49 - NCT06918236Recruiting
Pregnancy after fertility treatment: study of outcomes
This study looks at pregnancy results for women who had fertility treatments (like IVF). You can join if your baby is alive on ultrasound and you are between 11 and 14 weeks pregnant.
PlevenAges 18 years+ - NCT06957769Recruiting
How rising temperatures affect mothers and babies
This study looks at how higher temperatures during pregnancy might affect your health and your baby's health. By joining, you'll help researchers understand how climate change may impact pregnancy outcomes.
Matiari, SindhAges 18 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+ - NCT00009633Recruiting
Follow-up care for very premature infants born at specialized hospitals
This study follows babies born very early (before 27 weeks of pregnancy) who were treated at specialized neonatal centers. Researchers track their health and development over time to better understand how to care for extremely premature infants.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1.5 years–2.2 years - NCT00063063Recruiting
Database for Very Low Birth Weight Newborns
This is a research database that collects health information from newborns born very early or very small at specialized hospital centers. Your baby's data helps researchers understand how to better care for premature and low-birth-weight infants.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 2 weeks
