    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  2. Change of height standard deviation score (SDS) by chronological age before and after treatment

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks, 39 weeks, 52 weeks

  3. Body weight change before and after treatment

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks, 39 weeks, 52 weeks

  4. Change of BMI (Body mass index) standard deviation score before and after treatment

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks, 39 weeks, 52 weeks

  5. Global quotient, locomotor quotient, personal-social development quotient, language quotient, eye and hand coordination quotient, performance quotient and practical reasoning change calculated by Griffiths Mental Development Scale

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks

  6. Bone maturation ( bone age/ chronological age: BA/CA)

    Measured: Baseline, 52 weeks

  7. Change of IGF-1(Insulin-like growth factor 1) SDS

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks, 39 weeks, 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rhGH) Injection in people with Prader-Willi Syndrome, run by Changchun GeneScience Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 6 sites in China.

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 8 inclusion and 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xiaohua Feng (0431-85170552, fengxiaohua@gensci-china.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change of the total motor quotient calculated by Peabody Developmental Motor Scale before and after treatment (time frame: Baseline, 26 weeks, 52 weeks). 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 12 Jun 2018.
