Filter by:This study is conducted in China only. The purpose is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of once weekly dosing of TransCon hGH, a long-acting growth hormone product, compare to once-daily dosing of human growth hormone (hGH) after 52 weeks of treatment in prepubertal children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial with an open-label extension to evaluate the efficacy of growth hormone (GH) on cognitive functions of retired professional football players with growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
Participants are free to decide if they want to take part in this study or not. The study will be conducted to collect information about the influence of adherence to growth hormone therapy with Norditropin® in children and teenagers in daily practice in Germany. This study will look mainly at the difference in near final height between children and teenagers who adhere to their therapy plan with Norditropin® to non-adherent patients. Participants will get Norditropin® as prescribed to them by their doctor. The study will last as long as the therapy with growth hormone is seen necessary by the participants' doctors and the participants, up to a maximum of 10 years. During the visits at the participants' doctors participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire.
This study will compare two strengths of the new long-acting growth hormone somapacitan. The aim of this study is to test if both strengths are taken up in the blood in the same way. During three separate dosing visits participants will get a total of 3 injections of the study medicine. Somapacitan is not yet approved and therefore cannot be prescribed by a doctor outside of this study. The study duration is between 10 and 15 weeks. Participants will have 17 visits with the study doctor. Three visits will each comprise 6 in-house days with overnight stays. In total, at least 15 overnight stays at the clinic. There will be blood samplings during the study. Participants must come to the clinic regularly for these blood samplings. People who have already received growth hormones in the past or who are growth hormone deficient cannot be in the study. People cannot be in the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks for their health. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
Treatment of children with growth failure due to growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Primary • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly MOD-4023 administration compared to daily Genotropin® administration in Japanese pre-pubertal children with GHD. Secondary • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profiles of three different doses of MOD-4023 in Japanese pre-pubertal children with GHD.
This is an open label randomized 24 week crossover trial assessing the treatment burden of a weekly growth hormone injection regimen (somatrogon) compared to a daily growth hormone injection regimen (Genotropin). Approximately 90 children with growth hormone deficiency who have been stable on treatment with daily Genotropin will be enrolled.
Turner syndrome (TS) is a rare chromosomal disorder characterized by partial or complete loss of one of the X chromosomes that affects about one in every 2000 female babies born. These young patients described difficulties making friends, understanding others' emotions and intentions, and controlling their own emotions. Difficulties in these domains could led to social withdrawal, to reduced social skills and could have a significant impact on self esteem and mental health as well as on long-term academic and social functioning in affected individuals. The purpose of this project is to identify functional and dysfunctional cognitive and socio-cognitive abilities in these young patients which could account social difficulties described by some of them and their family. To this end, 35 girls with TS and 35 girls with isolated growth hormone deficiency and normal cerebral MRI will be recruited. Subjects will be 7 to 16 years and 11 months of age. Socio-cognitive and cognitive functions will be assessed with neuropsychological and experimental tasks. Questionnaires completed by patient, parents or teacher, will evaluate social and behavioral functioning.
The study compares 2 medicines for children who do not have enough hormone to grow: somapacitan given once a week (a new medicine) and Norditropin® given once a day (the medicine doctors can already prescribe). Researchers will test to see how well somapacitan works. The study will also test if somapacitan is safe. Participants will either get somapacitan or Norditropin® - which treatment participants get, is decided by chance. Both participants and the study doctor will know which treatment participants get. The study will last for 4 years. Participants will attend 19 clinic visits and have 1 phone call with the study doctor.
Aim of the current study is to assess the cardiovascular effects of GH replacement therapy in patients with coexisting GHD and CHF
It is a nutraceutical system, consisting of oral tablet and an oral spray called Alpha GPC, which helps your body naturally restore the HGH levels.
