PEG growth hormone for short stature in children
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with a type of short stature, such as growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, being small for gestational age, or idiopathic short stature.
- Your child has been treated with the study drug (PEGylated recombinant human growth hormone injections).
- Your child does not have serious heart, lung, blood, or cancer conditions, active infections, a weak immune system, or mental illness.

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.
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 study tests different doses of a long-acting growth hormone (PEG-rhGH) to find the best amount for helping children with short stature grow more. It includes kids who are not yet in puberty or who are in the early to middle stages of puberty.
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 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.
