Early growth-hormone treatment for small baby’s brain development
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 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.
This trial tests an oral medication called GS3-007a for children who have not yet reached puberty and have growth hormone deficiency. The goal is to see if it 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 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.
