Clinical Trial Summary

This study is performed to investigate the long-term safety, in particular the diabetogenic potential and immunogenicity of rhGH therapy in short children born small for gestational age (SGA).

Description:

Prospective, open label, non-comparative, multicenter study. Short children born SGA were to be treated until they reached final height, but treatment could be discontinued earlier if medically indicated or if there was inadequate response to treatment.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With Development of Diabetes in Short Children Born SGA During Treatment	The development of diabetes in short children born SGA during treatment was evaluated based on the carbohydrate metabolism parameters FPG, HbA1c and OGTT (basal and 2-h plasma glucose). Only cases which were confirmed by the investigator were included.	throughout the study, approximately 13 years
Secondary	Mean Change in Height (H) (cm) From Baseline	Mean change in Height from baseline for all patients was reported.	Baseline, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 9 years
Secondary	Mean Change in Height Standard Deviation Score Over Time From Baseline	SDS reflects the deviation of a measured value from the mean value of normally growing children of the same sex and chronological age, expressed in units of the standard deviation (SD) of normally growing children of the same sex and chronological age. SDS was calculated according to the formula SDS=(X1-X2)/SD, where X1 is the measured value, X2 the mean value for the relevant chronological age and sex, and SD the reference standard deviation for the relevant sex and age. Refer to SAP page 14 for the formula and to Appendix B (H SDS) and D (HV SDS) for the applied reference Table.; In general, a negative SDS indicates that the value is below average or mean and a positive value means it is above the average or mean. The calculated mean change compared to baseline reflects the catch-up growth over time towards average normal growth starting from below average.	Baseline, 3 months, 0.5 year, 9 months, 1 year, 1.25 years, 1.5 years, 1.75 years, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 6 years, 7 years, 8 years, 9 years, 10 years, 11 years, 12 years, 12.5 years
Secondary	Mean Change in Height Velocity (HV) (cm/Year) Over Time From Baseline	Mean change in Height velocity (HV) (cm/year) over time from baseline was reported.	Baseline, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 9 years
Secondary	Mean Change in Height Velocity Standard Deviation Score (HV SDS) Over Time From Baseline	SDS reflects the deviation of a measured value from the mean value of normally growing children of the same sex and chronological age, expressed in units of the standard deviation (SD) of normally growing children of the same sex and chronological age. SDS was calculated according to the formula SDS=(X1-X2)/SD, where X1 is the measured value, X2 the mean value for the relevant chronological age and sex, and SD the reference standard deviation for the relevant sex and age. Refer to SAP page 14 for the formula and to Appendix B (H SDS) and D (HV SDS) for the applied reference Table.; In general, a negative SDS indicates that the value is below average or mean and a positive value means it is above the average or mean. The calculated mean change compared to baseline reflects the initial high increase in height velocity which remains positive over years, but is decreasing over time.	Baseline, 3 months, 0.5 year, 9 months, 1 year, 1.25 years, 1.5 years, 1.75 years, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, 6 years, 7 years, 8 years, 9 years, 10 years, 11 years, 12 years, 12.5 years
Secondary	Mean Change in Serum IGF-1 Level (Nmol/L) From Baseline	Mean change in serum IGF-1 level (nmol/L) from baseline was reported.	Baseline, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 9 years
Secondary	Mean Change in IGFBP-3 Levels (Nmol/L) From Baseline	Mean change in IGFBP-3 levels (nmol/L) from baseline was reported.	Baseline, 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 9 years
Secondary	Number of Participants With the Development of Anti-rhGH Antibodies During Omnitrope Treatment	Number of participants with the development of anti-rhGH antibodies with positive test result were reported.	throughout the study, approximately 13 years
