About this study

Official title: Effect of Early Growth Hormone Treatment on Long-term Growth and Skeletal Maturation in Girls With Turner Syndrome

This is an extension study that will gather long-term data on the effect of early growth hormone (GH) treatment on adult height and other aspects of health and development in girls with Turner syndrome. The main purpose is to determine whether girls who received 2 years of GH treatment before 6 years of age achieve taller adult height than girls who were untreated during this time. The study will also look at middle ear and hearing function, and cognitive and behavioral development. Protocol completion is defined as attainment of height velocity less than or equal to 1.0 cm/year, or bone age greater than or equal to 15 years.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Most Mature Height Standard Deviation Score (SDS)

    SDS reports the number of standard deviations from the mean for age and sex for an individual measurement (normal range is -2 to +2 SDS). Height SDS is derived by subtracting the population mean from individual's height value and then dividing that difference by the population standard deviation. Greater height SDS values indicate greater height.

    Measured: Baseline through End of Study (10 years)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Height SDS at Various Ages

    SDS reports the number of standard deviations from the mean for age and sex for an individual measurement (normal range is -2 to +2 SDS). Height SDS is derived by subtracting the population mean from individual's height value and then dividing that difference by the population standard deviation. Greater height SDS values indicate greater height.

    Measured: Age 10, Age 13, Age 16

  2. Age at Attainment of Tanner 2 Breast Development

    The Tanner 2 breast development is the age at first evidence of breast development.

    Measured: Baseline through End of Study (10 years)

  3. Chronological Age at First Visit Participant Attained Bone Age of 14.5 Years

    Bone age was measured by standard radiograph, x-ray at baseline and annually for 10 years or until attainment of height velocity less than or equal to 1.0 centimeter per year (cm/year) and bone age greater or equal to 15 years.

    Measured: Baseline through End of Study (10 years)

  4. Reports of Serious Adverse Events

    Number of serious adverse events (SAEs) reported. Any adverse event from this study that results in one of the following outcomes, or is significant for any other reason were reported as an SAE: death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, a life-threatening experience (that is, immediate risk of dying), persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject, significant for any other reason (includes cancer, other than superficial, and basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, that did not meet other serious adverse event criteria).

    A summary of other nonserious AEs, and all SAE's, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.

    Measured: Baseline through End of Study (10 years)

  5. Percentage of Participants With Occurrence of Pre-specified Clinically Relevant Events

    Percentage of participants for whom certain non-serious, pre-specified adverse events (AEs; those that are commonly observed in Turner syndrome or are known to be related to GH treatment: impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, benign intracranial hypertension, scoliosis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, solid tumor/leukemia, pancreatitis, ear infections, and high blood pressure) are reported.

    Measured: Baseline through End of Study (10 years)

  6. Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Tympanometry Results

    Percentage of participants with abnormal tympanometry [defined as middle ear dysfunction / middle ear effusion / patent pressure equalizer tube or possible tympanic membrane perforation] results at baseline, age 10 years, and age 16 years or endpoint.

    Measured: Baseline, Age 10, Age 16, End of Study (10 years)

  7. Percentage of Participants With Prevalence of Abnormal Audiometry Results

    Percentage of participants with abnormal Audiometry results at baseline, age 10 years, and age 16 years or endpoint. Prevalence was calculated as number of participants with abnormal hearing divided by number of participants with measurable pure tone audiometry results at that visit.

    Measured: Baseline, Age 10, Age 16, End of Study (10 years)

  8. Percentage of Participants With Abnormal Audiometry Results Based on Pure Tone Average (PTA)

    Percentage of participants with abnormal Audiometry results at baseline, age 10 years, and age 16 years or endpoint. PTA is defined as the average of pure tone hearing thresholds at 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz (Hertz), calculated separately for each ear and for each testing method (air or bone); normal PTA is defined as pure tone hearing threshold less than or equal to 20 dB HL (decibels Hearing Level), and abnormal PTA is defined as pure tone hearing threshold greater than 20 DB HL.

    Measured: Baseline, Age 10, Age 16, End of Study (10 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Humatrope in people with Turner Syndrome, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 9 sites in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 31 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Most Mature Height Standard Deviation Score (SDS) (time frame: Baseline through End of Study (10 years)). 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 31 Mar 2017.
