What participants receive

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

  • somatropin AQDrug

    Also called Somatropin injection, rhGH

    somatropin injection 0.2mg/kg/w once per day, inject for 7 continuous days 4 weeks for cleaning period

  • pegylated somatropinDrug

    Also called PEG somatropin, PEG GH, pharmacokinetics, growth hormone deficiency

    Pegylated somatropin 0.2mg/kg/w once per week, for continuous 6 weeks Subcutaneous injection

What is being measured

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

  1. pharmacokinetics parameter

    Cmax, AUC during the time interval for the first dose and last dose, Half-Life(t1/2), Apparent body clearance(CL), Mean residence time(MRT),steady-state volume of distribution(Vss)

    Measured: Somatropin AQ: predose(0),1,2,3,4,6,8,10,12,16,20,24 hours post-dose. PEG somatropin: predose (0),2,4,8,12,18,24,36,48,72,96,120,144,168 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. IGF-1, IGFBP-3

    Measured: Day I to Day 7 in each treatment period (33 time points) for daily used somatropin, Day I to Day 42 in each treatment period (35 time points) for PEG somatropin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing somatropin AQ and pegylated somatropin in people with Growth Hormone Deficiency, run by Changchun GeneScience Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd..

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 1 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 14 Jun 2012. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

pharmacokinetics parameter (time frame: Somatropin AQ: predose(0),1,2,3,4,6,8,10,12,16,20,24 hours post-dose. PEG somatropin: predose (0),2,4,8,12,18,24,36,48,72,96,120,144,168 hours post-dose). 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 14 Jun 2012.
