What is being measured

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

  1. Ht SDSca

    Ht SDSca was calculated by dividing the difference between the actual height of a patient and the mean height of the population for that chronological age by the standard deviation (SD) of the height of the population for that chronological age

    Measured: Baseline, 4,12,26 weeks after initiating treatment

What does this phase mean?

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xiaohua Feng (13610794989, fengxiaohua@gensci-china.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ht SDSca (time frame: Baseline, 4,12,26 weeks after initiating treatment). 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?
