Growth hormone dose study for short children
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 trial is testing an experimental growth hormone treatment for children who are short for their age but otherwise healthy. Participation may help determine if the treatment can safely improve growth.
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 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.
