About this study

Official title: The Genetics and Neuroendocrinology of Short Stature International Study (GeNeSIS)

GeNeSIS is an open-label, multinational, multicenter, observational study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Humatrope treatment.

GeNeSIS is a modular program that includes:

  • Core study: Evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Humatrope in the observational setting
  • Genetic Analysis Sub-study: Investigating the genetic defects underlying growth hormone (GH) deficiency and non-GH-deficient growth disorders
  • Growth Prediction Sub-study: Working to validate and refine specific models to accurately predict growth response to GH
  • Short Stature Homeobox containing gene (SHOX) Deficiency Sub-study: Elucidating the clinical, endocrine and radiological features of participants with SHOX deficiency due to loss of, or mutation in the SHOX gene (including participants with Turner syndrome)
  • Neoplasia Sub-study: To characterize the natural history of neoplastic disease, especially in relation to recurrence/progression of primary neoplasia or development of secondary neoplasia in children with a history of neoplasia
Being tested
Somatropin (recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid [rDNA] origin)

What is being measured

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

  1. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in GH-treated Participants

    Measured: Year 15

  2. Primary Malignancies in Participant Without Previous Cancer History

    Due to the small number of participants involved, untreated and unknown treatment groups, data was not provided and could not be calculated.

    Measured: Year 15

  3. Final Height (FH) Gain by Diagnostic Group

    The standard deviation score (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. Due to the small number of participants involved, untreated and unknown treatment groups, data was not provided and could not be calculated.

    Measured: Baseline through Year 15

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Defects in Genes Associated With Pituitary Development

    Percentage of participants with genetic defects associated with pituitary development. Genes included but were not limited to GH1, Growth hormone releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR), Homeobox gene expressed in embryonic stem cells (HESX1), LIM homeobox 3 (LHX3), POU domain, class 1, transcription factor 1 (POU1F1), and Prophet of Pit1 (PROP1).

    Measured: Baseline through Year 15

  2. Predicted First Year Height Gain Versus Actual First Year Height Gain

    The value for predicted and observed is of limited bearing, it is how each participant's predicted versus observed height gain compare and this is best estimated by the R-squared. An estimation parameter would not be a correct format for the R2 data. R2 can take value between 0 and 1 with values closer to 0 representing a poor fit while values closer to 1 representing a perfect fit

    Measured: Baseline through Year 15

  3. Change From Baseline to Final Height in Anthropometric Measures for Participants With SHOX Deficiency

    Measured: Baseline, Year 15

  4. Percentage of Participants With Recurrent Neoplasms and Second Neoplasms in Childhood Cancer Survivors

    Percentage of participants with recurrence/progression of primary neoplastic disease and/or development of secondary neoplasms in childhood cancer survivors.

    Measured: Baseline through Year 15

  5. Percentage of Participants With De Novo Neoplasms

    Percentage of participants with the development of de novo neoplastic disease with no history of prior neoplasia.

    Measured: Baseline through Year 15

  6. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in Somatropin-Treated Children With Different Short Stature Diagnoses

    Measured: Baseline through Year 15

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 3 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 13 May 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 May 2019). 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?

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in GH-treated Participants (time frame: Year 15). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01088412, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 13 May 2019.
