What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Classified According to Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-I) Assessments

    IGF-I along with growth hormone helps promote normal bone and tissue growth and development. Categories for assessment for participant's post-baseline IGF-I values: (1) IGF-I LLN = if any of assessments of IGF-I post-baseline visit was lower than lower limit of normal (LLN); (2) IGF-I ULN = If any of assessments of IGF-I post-baseline visit was greater than upper level of normal (ULN); (3) IGF-I unknown = no IGF-I reported; (4) Within reference range = IGF-I levels within normal range. Following is normal reference range of IGF-I in nanogram per milliliter. 18 Years of age (Y): Male =162-541, Female =170-640; 19 Y: Male =138-442, Female =147-527; 20 Y: Male =122-384,Female =132-457; 21-25 Y=116-341; 26-30 Y=117-321; 31-35 Y=113-297; 36-40 Y=106-277; 41-45 Y =98-261; 46-50 Y=91-246; 51-55 Y=84-233; 56-60 Y=78-220; 61-65 Y=72-207; 66-70 Y=67-195; 71-75 Y=62-184; 76-80 Y=57-172; >80 Y=53-162. There was no differentiation for male and female in normal range of IGF-I after 20 years of age.

    Measured: Up to 5 years (after baseline visit)

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received Genotropin without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. A treatment emergent AE was defined as an event that emerged during the treatment period that was absent before treatment, or worsened during the treatment period relative to the pretreatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs.

    Measured: Baseline up to 5 years

  2. Number of Treatment Related Adverse Events

    Treatment-related AEs refer to AEs that have a causal relationship with the treatment or usage. If there was any relationship between AE and Genotropin treatment,that was judged by investigator.

    Measured: Baseline up to 5 years

  3. Number of Adverse Events Leading to Withdrawal of Genotropin Treatment

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal product that need not necessarily have a causal relationship with the product treatment or usage. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal or nutritional product at any dose that resulted to death, life-threatening, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); and congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: Baseline up to 5 years

  4. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Due to Adverse Events

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal product that need not necessarily have a causal relationship with the product treatment or usage. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal or nutritional product at any dose that resulted to death, life-threatening, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); and congenital anomaly/birth defect. Participants who discontinued study due to AEs were reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to 5 years

  9. Body Mass Index (BMI) of Participants at Baseline, Years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

    BMI was defined as an index for assessing overweight and underweight and was obtained by dividing body weight in kilograms (kg) by height in meters squared (m^2).

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

  10. Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index of Participants at Years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

  16. Percentage of Participants With Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Investigation at Baseline, Years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

    CT is a diagnostic imaging test used to create detailed images of internal organs, bones, soft tissue and blood vessels. MRI investigation uses strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body.

    Measured: Baseline, Year 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

  17. Percentage of Participants With Any Change From Baseline in Hormone Abnormalities at Years 1, 2, 3, and 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Growth Hormone Deficiency, run by Pfizer at 12 sites in Sweden.

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 6 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 20 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Sweden. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 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?

Number of Participants Classified According to Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-I) Assessments (time frame: Up to 5 years (after baseline visit)). 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 20 Nov 2019.
