Efficacy and Safety of Growth Hormone Treatment in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Treatment in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Controlled Study on the Effect on Growth and Bone Development

Clinical Trial Summary

Growth retardation is well known in patients with severe forms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Especially those who were under additional treatment with glucocorticoids for high disease activity. The hypothesis is, that treatment with growth hormone can, at leat in part, overcome growth hormone resistance state and increase final height. In a controlled study we follow patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis with and without growth hormone treatment until final height. Additionally, we are interested in bone density development in those treated with growth hormone.

Clinical Trial Description

Growth retardation is well known in patients with severe forms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Especially those who were under additional treatment with glucocorticoids for high disease activity. This is the case in patients with a polyarticular and a systemic form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The permanent consequence is short stature at final height. Up to 30% of these patients will have a final height below the 3rd percentile, even after discontinuation of glucocorticoid treatment. The hypothesis is, that treatment with growth hormone can, at leat in part, overcome growth hormone resistance state and increase final height. In a controlled study we follow patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis with and without growth hormone treatment until final height. From safety aspects we were interested in the effect of growth hormone on the disease activity. Additionally, we are interested in bone density development in those treated with growth hormone up to final height. ;
