What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Annual Growth Rate Measured at 2 Years Following Treatment With Genotonorm

    Annual growth rate was expressed as height velocity (centimeter [cm]/year). This was derived by substracting annual growth rate at Baseline from 2-year value. (Annual growth rate was calculated each year and rescaled to 1 year if the interval between x and x-1 was not 365 days, as long as a subject remains in the study): ANGRYx = (Height Yx - Height Y{x-1}) / {(Date of Yx - Date of Y{x-1}) /365.25}

    Measured: Baseline, 2 years

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Annual Growth Rate Standard Deviation Score (SDS)

    Calculated using Sempe reference means and standard deviations for growth rate according to age and sex. Standardization was performed for chronological age.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 6 years

  2. Change From Baseline in Annual Growth Rate SDS

    Calculated corresponding to the gender and chronological age by substracting annual growth rate SDS at Baseline from annual growth rate SDS at each year.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 3 years

  3. Height (cm)

    Performed by use of a wallmounted device (eg, Harpenden Stadiometer). Each subject was measured 3 times and the mean of these measurements was recorded as the present height. Final Height: Children are defined as reaching their final height when annual Growth Rate is less than 2 cm in the previous year and bone age is equal to or greater than 17 years in boys and equal to or greater than 15 years in girls.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 6 years, final height

  4. Change From Baseline in Height (cm)

    Calculated by substracting height at Baseline from height at each year. Final Height: Children are defined as reaching their final height when annual Growth Rate is less than 2 cm in the previous year and bone age is equal to or greater than 17 years in boys and equal to or greater than 15 years in girls.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 6 years, final height

  5. Height (SDS)

    Calculated using Sempe reference means and standard deviations for height. Final Height: Children are defined as reaching their final height when annual Growth Rate is less than 2 cm in the previous year and bone age is equal to or greater than 17 years in boys and equal to or greater than 15 years in girls.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 6 years, final height

  6. Change From Baseline in Height (SDS)

    Calculated by substracting height SDS at Baseline from height SDS at each year. Final Height: Children are defined as reaching their final height when annual Growth Rate is less than 2 cm in the previous year and bone age is equal to or greater than 17 years in boys and equal to or greater than 15 years in girls.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 6 years, final height

  7. Body Mass Index (BMI)

    BMI was calculated by weight divided by height squared.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 6 years

  8. Weight

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 6 years

  9. Change From Baseline in Bone Age

    Bone age was determined by the Greulich-Pyle method. Calculated by substracting bone age at Baseline from bone age at each year

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 3 years

  10. Change From Baseline in Bone Age/Change From Baseline in Chronological Age Ratio

    Bone age was determined by the Greulich-Pyle method. Chronological Age (years) was calculated as: (Date minus Date of Birth) divided by 365.25. Chronological Age used was the age at the date that the corresponding Bone Age X-ray was performed. Ratio was calculated by change from Baseline in bone age divided by change from Baseline in chronological age.

    Measured: 1 to 3 years

  11. Chronological Age at Onset of Puberty

    Chronological age (years) at first study visit with onset of puberty = (Date of study visit minus Date of Birth) divided by 365.25.

    Measured: Onset of puberty

  12. Number of Subjects Reaching Puberty

    The defined criteria for reaching puberty were: boy=if right or left testes volume ≥4 ml; girl=if breast development ≥2. Tanner Adolescent Pubertal Staging Questionnaire documents the stage of development of secondary sexual characteristics rated in 5 stages: stage 1 (no development) to 5 (adult-like development in quantity and size). Onset of puberty was defined as the visit where the data recorded first met the above criteria for starting puberty.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 to 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Genotonorm in people with Growth Disorders and Intrauterine Growth Retardation, run by Pfizer at 31 sites in France.

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 6 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 18 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 sites in France. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Aug 2010). 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?

Change From Baseline in Annual Growth Rate Measured at 2 Years Following Treatment With Genotonorm (time frame: Baseline, 2 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 18 Nov 2010.
