Study on how sticking to growth hormone affects near adult height
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A parent/guardian can consent for the child, and the child can assent if age-appropriate
- A doctor and your family have already decided to start Norditropin for treatment
- You are a child age 15 or younger, with more than 2 years of growth-hormone treatment expected
- You are not starting growth hormone yet (your child has not taken it before)
- The reason for treatment is either growth hormone deficiency or born small for gestational age
- No prior participation in this study, and the child can understand and cooperate (language/mental barriers can’t block this)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new growth hormone medicine (GB06) for children whose bodies don't make enough growth hormone naturally. The study will see if this treatment helps children grow taller over time.
This study tests a new growth hormone injection (GB08) for children who are not growing well because of a condition called growth hormone deficiency. It aims to see if the medicine is safe and helps them grow taller.
This study tests a new growth hormone treatment called GenSci134 for children who have not yet gone through puberty and are not growing because their bodies do not make enough growth hormone. The goal is to see if the medicine helps them grow taller.
This study looks at how the body’s growth signals (growth hormone and related proteins) work in children. It may help researchers understand growth differences in kids who are healthy or have certain growth-related conditions.
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.
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.
