Growth Hormone Injection for Idiopathic Short Stature in Children
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be prepubertal (boys age 3 to under 11 with testicles less than 4 mL; girls age 3 to under 10 with no breast development).
- Your child's height must be at least 2 standard deviations below average for their age and sex (very short compared to peers).
- Your child must have a growth hormone stimulation test showing a peak level of at least 10 ng/mL (to rule out growth hormone deficiency).
- Your child must not have taken growth hormone or similar medications for growth before (for 1 month or more).
- Your child must not have any other known cause for short stature (like Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome, or thyroid problems).

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 trial studies the long-term safety and effectiveness of Growtropin®-II, a growth hormone–type injection, in children who are short due to certain causes. It may help your child’s growth over time, while also closely tracking side effects.
This trial tests a weekly growth hormone injection (lonapegsomatropin) compared to the standard daily growth hormone shot in children with short stature due to certain conditions. It aims to see if the weekly shot works as well or better and is safe.
This trial tests a medication called vosoritide to see if it can help children with unexplained short stature grow taller. It's for kids who are very short for their age but have normal growth hormone levels and no other known cause.
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.
