Filter by:The study doctor will collect information from participants with Idiopathic Short Stature, who were treated with growth hormone for at least a year when they were children, before they reached puberty. The word "Idiopathic" refers to "unknown cause", and as such the study participants have/had short stature with no identifiable medical cause. The purpose of the study is to identify differences in the genetic characteristics of participants who responded well or poorly to growth hormone therapy. No medications or other treatments are provided to the participants by Novo Nordisk as part of this study. The study will last for up to 1 year. The participants will attend their usual doctor's appointments. If the participants are not usually visiting the clinic, they will need to do it only once as part of this study. If the participant agrees to take part in the study, they will be asked to read and sign the 'Agreement to take part form'.
Our trial aims to evaluate the prevalence of idiopathic short stature among children whose growth is above -2,5SD (AFPA- CRESS/Inserm -CompuGroup Medical 2018 curve) or above -2SD of the parental target size (taking child gender into account), after exclusion of classical pediatric and endocrinologic pathologies, and to evaluate the prevalence of monogenic causes of idiopathic short stature. We propose to perform a two-step study. The first one consists in a standardized multidisciplinary clinico-radiological evaluation of those children to evaluate the real prevalence of idiopathic short stature (ISS) among these patients. The second step consists in performing a whole genome sequencing analysis in the 30 first patients for whom the diagnosis of ISS is confirmed.
Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by a missing whole or part of the second sex chromosome in a phenotypic female, resulting in short stature due to haploinsufficiency of the short-stature homeobox-containing (SHOX) gene. Growth hormone (GH) is an approved therapy for this condition, although not associated with GH deficiency, and benefits are modest. Vosoritide, a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog, targets chondrocytes within the growth plate leading to increased cell proliferation and hypertrophy. We hypothesize that patients with TS and short stature will respond to vosoritide treatment leading to increased growth velocity. This study will enroll pre-pubertal girls with TS who are either naïve to GH or have had a poor response to GH therapy. All subjects will be treated with vosoritide for 12 months and will be assessed for safety monitoring and improvement in height outcomes. Annualized growth velocity (AGV) on vosoritide will be compared to AGV in the 6-18 months prior to initiation of vosoritide based on historical data available in the medical record. Subjects with a positive response to therapy will be given the option to continue in the extension phase of the study during which they will continue to receive vosoritide until growth cessation.
To explore the dose-response relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Y- Shaped Pegylated growth hormone injection (YPEG-GH) in children with short stature (idiopathic short stature (ISS), small for gestational age (SGA), Turner syndrome (TS)). To evaluate its tolerability, safety and efficacy and to provide evidence for dose selection and titration for future clinical development and clinical application in these population.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the acceptability, feasibility, accuracy and precision of the 'GrowthMonitor' smartphone app in a pilot population.
The aim of the study is the adaption, implementation and validation of the instrument for the investigation of the short stature specific quality of life (QoLISSY) for children (age 0-4 years) with achondroplasia (ACH), Small for Gestational Age (SGA) and Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) from a parental perspective.
There are relatively few data available on type II collagen disorders, and evidence is lacking on the disease course in relation to symptoms and development of complications, the level of actual disease burden over time as well as data to support identification of possible risk factors. This study aims to build a natural history data set through collection of a number of clinical, imaging, and laboratory assessments that may be specific predictors of type II collagen disorder progression and clinical outcome. Having a type II collagen disorder natural history data set can inform potential efficacy endpoints and biomarkers for future clinical trials. This natural history study will follow up to 60 individuals diagnosed with a type II collagen disorder for up to 3 years. Visits will be conducted every 3 months for the first year and then every 6 months, during which several assessments will be performed in order to learn about the natural course of the disease, including changes in clinical and functional outcomes, imaging and biofluid biomarkers. Some of the study activities include: a physical exam, height measurements, vision and breathing tests and x-ray. A blood sample will be collected once or twice each year. Most of the information collected, the tests done, and the schedule of visits in this study are the same as recommended for regular care of children with a type II collagen disorder.
This registry is a observational, single-center study designed to collect clinical data on patients with achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia.
This is a non-interventional registry of children treated with Norditropin® for short stature due to Noonan Syndrome (NS). This study aims to provide data on long-term growth evolution and safety of Norditropin® as well as Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) data. This registry will include the entirety of children treated with Norditropin® for short stature due to NS over the inclusion period. The decision to initiate treatment with commercially available Norditropin® is made by the patient/parents/Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR) and the treating physician before and independently from the decision to include the patient in this study.
This study is a multi-center, retrospective and non-interventional research. In this study, a total of 150 short children who were small for gestational age and had been treated with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) are selected for genetic testing. The aims of this study are to analyze the genetic etiology of SGA children with short stature, and to compare the efficacy and safety of rhGH treatment in subjects with different etiologies.
