  • Bone age of the non-dominant hand and wrist obtained no more than 6 months prior to study entry (bone age must be <= 10 years for girls and <= 11 years for boys as read using the method of Greulich and Pyle)
  • Adequate caloric intake (following the CFF guidelines is encouraged; caloric intake must be documented at screening using a 24-hour food diary)
  • Normal thyroid function

Who cannot join

  • Prior or current rhGH use
  • History of short stature due to GHD
  • History within the 12 months prior to screening of glucose intolerance (impaired glucose tolerance) or CF-related diabetes (CFRD) as defined by at least one of the following: fasting serum glucose of >= 126 mg/dL on two or more occasions; fasting serum glucose of >= 126 mg/dL plus any casual (previously called random) glucose level >= 200 mg/dL; casual (previously called random) glucose of >= 200 mg/dL on two or more occasions; fasting serum glucose of <= 126 mg/dL but 2-hour post oral glucose load of 140-199 mg/dL (impaired glucose tolerance) on two or more occasions; if a subject meets the criteria for impaired glucose tolerance or CFRD in the screening glucose tolerance test, even if there is no history of impaired glucose tolerance, the subject will not be eligible for the study.
  • Infection with Burkholderia cepacia
  • Qualitative change in antibiotic treatment (e.g., for exacerbation of lung infection) within 14 days of study entry
  • Hospitalization or treatment with systemic corticosteroids during the 30 days prior to study entry
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Inability to adhere to previously documented adequate nutrition
  • Active neoplasia
  • Participation in any other investigational study (including investigational drug studies) within 30 days of enrollment or during the study if in the treatment arm, except for participation in observational and questionnaire studies (untreated)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nutropin AQ [somatropin (DNA origin) injection] in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by Genentech, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the safety and efficacy of Nutropin AQ in treating growth restriction and increasing lean body mass (LBM) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and growth restriction.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jun 2008.
