Amino acid supplement for stunted children
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special amino acid supplement can help children with stunting (shorter height than expected) grow better. It aims to improve their nutrition and growth.

This study tests whether a special nutrition supplement can help young children (ages 1–5) who are not growing as expected. Researchers will work with Children International centers in the study area to see if the supplement helps children grow taller and healthier.
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 looks at the growth and nutrition of babies aged 1 to 12 months who are fed a special amino acid-based formula because of a cow's milk protein allergy. It helps doctors understand if this formula supports healthy development.
This trial tests a special food designed to help children with severe acute malnutrition. It aims to see if this food can improve growth and health. Children who are 6–24 months old, have very low weight or arm size, and are otherwise healthy may be eligible.
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.
