Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 to 10 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Age 2.0 - 9.0 years for females, 2.0 - 10.0 yrs for males.
  • Prepubertal stage (Tanner 1 for breast (B1) in females, or Tanner 1 for genitals (G1) for males).
  • Bone age < 10 'years' (males) or < 9 'years' (females) according to Greulich and Pyle. The bone age will be read by the pediatric endocrinologist responsible for the pre-study screening visit.
  • Height SDS < -2.5 for ethnically adequate references. For children of Dutch or Western European origin the 1997 nation-wide references for Dutch children will be used. For children of Moroccan or Turkish origin, the respective reference charts will be used. For children of other ethnicities, the 1977 North American (NCHS/WHO) reference will be used, as these charts have been accepted by WHO as world-wide standard from the age of 5 years.

Who cannot join

  • Has a history of hypersensitivity to growth hormone or phenol (conservative added to GH in NutropinAq), or drugs with a similar chemical structure.
  • Has abnormal baseline findings, any other medical condition(s) or laboratory findings that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might jeopardise the subject's safety or decrease the chance of obtaining satisfactory data needed to achieve the objective(s) of the study.
  • Has a birth weight and/or length below -2 SDS for Swedish reference charts. Patients will not be excluded due to an unknown birth weight or length.
  • Has a known cause of short stature, or any significant concomitant disease that is likely to interfere with growth or with the study schedule/objectives, or is a known contraindication to GH treatment.

About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of Baseline and Stimulated Serum IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 During a Dose-escalation IGF-1 Generation Test for the 1 Year Growth Response to Growth Hormone (GH) Therapy in Short Children With Low IGF-1 and a Normal GH Peak in a Provocation Test

The evaluation of a standardized diagnostic test to predict the growth response in a 1 year trial with Growth Hormone (GH) treatment (carried out in the context of regular patient care) in non GH deficient short children with low serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

Being tested
Nutropin [Somatropin (rDNA origin) for injection]

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nutropin [Somatropin (rDNA origin) for injection]Drug

    Doses in the diagnostic protocol are 0.7 and 1.4 mg/m2/day, injected by subcutaneous injection at bedtime for 2 weeks, divided by washout periods of preferably 4 weeks (accepted range 4-6 weeks). An additional period of 2 weeks on 2.8 mg/m2/day (after a washout period of 4-6 weeks) will be added if the IGF-I response on either dosage is insufficient (serum IGF-I SDS <0).

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak serum IGF-1 level with GH (1.4 mg/m2/day) change from baseline.

    Measured: Week 2

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Delta IGF-1 SDS on 0.7 & 1.4 mg GH/m2/day

    Measured: Baseline, week 2

  2. Delta insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) standard deviation score (SDS) on 0.7 & 1.4 mg GH/m2/day

    Measured: Baseline, week 2

  3. Delta of the ratio IGF-1:IGFBP-3 SDS on 0.7 mg & 1.4 mg GH/m2/day

    Measured: Baseline, week 2

  4. Delta of the ratio IGF-1:IGFBP-2 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2) SDS on 0.7 mg & 1.4 mg GH/m2/day

    Measured: Baseline, week 2

  5. Peak IGFBP-3 SDS on 0.7 mg & 1.4 mg GH/m2/day

    Measured: Baseline, week 2

  6. Peak of the ratio IGF-1:IGFBP-3 SDS on 0.7 mg & 1.4 mg GH/m2/day

    Measured: Baseline, week 2

  7. Peak of the ratio IGF-1:IGFBP-2 SDS on 0.7 mg & 1.4 mg GH/m2/day

    Measured: Baseline, week 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Nutropin [Somatropin (rDNA origin) for injection] in people with Idiopathic Short Stature, run by Ipsen.

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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 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.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Peak serum IGF-1 level with GH (1.4 mg/m2/day) change from baseline. (time frame: Week 2). 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 5 Aug 2019.
