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 a new injectable growth hormone treatment for adults whose bodies don't produce enough growth hormone naturally. Researchers will measure how safe it is, how your body processes it, and whether it helps you feel better and function more normally.
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 a new growth hormone injection (Jinpei) to help children who were born small for gestational age (SGA) and are still short for their age. The treatment may help them grow taller.
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 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.
