- Ages 9 months to 4 years
- Women only
- No healthy volunteers
- Child
Who may be able to join
- Karyotype-proven Turner syndrome that included a documented abnormality of the short arm of an X chromosome.
- At least 9 months of age and not greater than 4 years of age.
- Normal values for age for hemoglobin, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and urinalysis (office dipstick is adequate), performed prior to study entry.
- If there was a known history of hypothyroidism, then adequate thyroid hormone replacement must have been taken for at least 6 months prior to study entry.
Who cannot join
- Current or previous treatment with any therapy that may have directly influenced growth, including growth hormone, growth hormone-releasing hormone, estrogens and anabolic steroids such as oxandrolone. This included previous completion of, or withdrawal from, this study or any other study investigating therapeutic uses of growth hormone or growth hormone-releasing hormone.

About this study
Official title: The Effect of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Treatment on the Growth of Infants and Toddlers With Turner Syndrome
This study investigated the effect of growth hormone on the growth of infants and toddlers with Turner syndrome during 2 years of treatment with growth hormone. This was compared with the growth of infants and toddlers with Turner syndrome who did not receive any growth hormone treatment. The overall aim was to prevent the growth failure usually seen during this period. The study also looked at middle ear disease, hearing problems, and cognitive and behavioral development.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Somatropin in people with Turner Syndrome, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 10 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 4 Dec 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 10 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Height at the end of two years in the study.. 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 4 Dec 2006.
