Filter by: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.
Aims of this study were 1) to evaluate early CV abnormalities in infants born small for gestational age (SGA) at 24 months of age compared with age and sex-matched subjects that were born adequate for gestational age (AGA) 2) to investigate the effect of catch-up growth and the role of breastfeeding on CV risk.
Inadequate maternal nutrition is likely to undermine the potential impact of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) improvements made in the Alive & Thrive (A&T) first phase because it is linked to poor fetal growth leading to small-for-gestational age and pre-term newborns. These babies do not respond to growth promoting feeding practices as well as normal newborns do. In Phase 2, Alive & Thrive decided to focus on integrating a package of maternal nutrition interventions in a large-scale maternal, newborn and child health program (MNCH). This proposed evaluation aims to assess the feasibility of integrating maternal nutrition interventions into an existing MNCH platform in Bangladesh, using a cluster-randomized evaluation design.
Low-dose aspirin started in the first-trimester has been associated with a decrease of preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction and preterm birth in high-risk pregnancies. Multiple pregnancies are considered a risk factor for all those adverse outcomes. The main objective of the current trial is to evaluate whether a dose of 80 mg of aspirin is associated with an improvement of birthweight compared to placebo in twin pregnancies.
Obesity is a growing problem in East London and every other woman who enters pregnancy is obese or overweight. In addition to obesity, other metabolic risk factors such as raised lipids, high blood pressure and diabetes increase pregnancy related complications such as preeclampsia and long term problems such as heart diseases, stroke and death. Preeclampsia, presenting as hypertension and proteinuria is a leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. Interventions that reduce cardiovascular events by modifying risk factors also have the potential to reduce the risk of preeclampsia. The investigators work funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) in the UK showed that dietary interventions in obese pregnant women may reduce the risk of preeclampsia. The investigators propose to show that pregnant women with metabolic risk factors derive the most benefit from a simple, targeted intervention based on Mediterranean dietary pattern to reduce the risk of maternal and fetal complications . Women with the risk factors (1230 women) will be randomly allocated to dietary intervention or usual antenatal dietary advice and the risk of maternal and fetal complications will be evaluated. The remaining eligible women who are consented for lipid tests, but do not have metabolic risk factors, will be followed up for outcome data only. Diet based interventions, especially those based on a Mediterranean dietary pattern has a potential to reduce the risk of preeclampsia. In the investigators study, pregnant mothers with risk factors will be randomly allocated to either a dietary invention or usual antenatal care and they will assess their composite maternal (pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes) and fetal (stillbirth, small for gestational age or admission to neonatal intensive care unit) outcomes. The investigators will tailor the intervention to suit the individual needs of the mother and provide nuts and olive oil to improve compliance. The study will be undertaken across the three maternity units at Barts Health NHS Trust, which delivers 17,000 women/year and two other maternity units in England. The study is supported by the office of the Mayor of Tower Hamlets which will facilitate the involvement of grassroots workers to promote recruitment and uptake of the intervention.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to assess the safety of long-term growth hormone treatment in growth-retarded children with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) enrolled in trial GHRETARD/F/1/F.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of two dose levels of somatropin over a long period (till final height is reached). This trial is an extension to trials GHRETARD/BDP/14/NL (a 2-year initial trial) and GHRETARD/BPD/20/NL (a 2-year extension trial).
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of the study is to describe the patient population and therapeutic practices (study phase I), assess efficacy on growth and adult height and assess tolerance of somatropin (Norditropin® SimpleXx®) (study phase II)
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this study is to evaluate safety during the long-term use of somatropin (Norditropin®) in children as well as efficacy on change in height. A subgroup of children small for their gestational age is included.
This study is conducted in Europe. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact on daily life for children new to using a growth hormone injection device.
