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 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 trial tests an investigational drug called GenSci134 for children with idiopathic short stature (short height with no known cause). It aims to see if the drug can help them grow taller. The study is for children who have not been treated with growth hormones before.
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 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.
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.
