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 trial tests a new growth hormone injection (GB08) to see if it helps children with growth hormone deficiency grow taller. If your child is diagnosed with this condition and hasn't yet tried growth hormone treatment, they might benefit from participating.
This trial is testing an experimental growth hormone treatment for children who are short for their age but otherwise healthy. Participation may help determine if the treatment can safely improve growth.
This study tests a new once-a-week injection (GenSci134) for children with growth hormone deficiency. It aims to see if it is safe and helps them grow. Your child may be able to join if they have not been treated before and meet the age and height requirements.
This study tests different doses of a long-acting growth hormone medicine to see which works best for children who are shorter than expected for their age. It may help improve growth in both early and later stages of puberty.
This study looks at how growth hormone and related chemicals (like IGF-1) affect growth in children. It includes healthy kids and those with growth problems to better understand normal and delayed growth.
