Growth hormone trial for short children born small
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must not have started puberty yet (boys under 11, girls under 10 at screening).
- Your child was born with a birth weight or length that was below the 10th percentile for how many weeks they were in the womb.
- Your child's height is well below average for their age and sex (more than 2 standard deviations below the mean).

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 study follows children who are short for their age and checks how safe and effective growth hormone is over the long term. It may help families understand expected benefits and side effects for their specific growth-related condition.
This study tests a new injectable growth hormone treatment for adults whose bodies don't produce enough growth hormone naturally. Researchers will measure how safe it is, how your body processes it, and whether it helps you feel better and function more normally.
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.
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 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.
