Hormone injection for delayed puberty in boys
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a new hormone injection (a fusion protein that mimics FSH) plus another hormone (hCG) to stimulate testicle growth and testosterone production in teenage boys with a condition that delays puberty. It aims to see if this treatment can safely start puberty.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male between 14 and 17 years old and have a height of at least 4 feet 9 inches (145 cm).
- You have a condition called hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (your body doesn't produce enough hormones that tell your testicles to make testosterone).
- Your testicles are smaller than normal and your testosterone level is very low (≤ 1 ng/mL).
- You have not used certain hormone treatments (like GnRH, gonadotropins, or oral testosterone) in the past month, or testosterone shots in the past year.
- You and your partner agree to use reliable birth control during the study and for 3 months after.

This study tests a new growth hormone injection (Inpegsomatropin) to help children with idiopathic short stature (short stature with no known cause) grow taller. It may be an option if your child is very short compared to peers and has not started puberty.
This trial tests a testosterone injection (XYOSTED) to see if it's safe and effective for replacing testosterone in teenage boys who have low levels due to a known medical condition. It lasts 52 weeks, with an optional 2-year follow-up.
This study uses a hormone called triptorelin to help doctors find the cause of delayed or stalled puberty in teenagers and young adults. The goal is to see if this medicine can clearly tell whether the problem is in the brain or elsewhere in the body.
This study tests a new growth hormone injection (GB08) for children who are not growing well because of a condition called growth hormone deficiency. It aims to see if the medicine is safe and 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 a 3-month injection compared to a 1-month injection for children with central precocious puberty (early puberty). The goal is to see if the longer-lasting shot works just as well and is safe while helping children grow at a normal pace.
