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 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 if two different ways of making the same growth hormone medicine are equivalent in healthy adults. It might help people who need this treatment by ensuring both versions work the same.
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.
This study tests whether a daily injection of human growth hormone (called Sinotropin AQ) can safely help children with unexplained short stature grow taller. It is for children who are shorter than expected but do not have a known medical reason for their short height.
This trial tests if a new weekly growth hormone shot (somatrogon) works as well as a daily one (Genotropin) for children who are short because they were born small or have no clear cause.
