What is being measured

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

  1. ΔHtSDSca (The change of height standard deviation score of chronological age before and after treatment)

    ΔHtSDSca was the difference of HtSDSca before and after treatment, and HtSDSca 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, 4,13,26,39,52,65,78,91,104 weeks after initiating treatment, 52 weeks in phase 1; 2 years in phase 2.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. ΔHT (Change of height)

    Measured: Baseline, 4,13,26,39,52,65,78,91,104 weeks after initiating treatment, 52 weeks in phase 1; 2 years in phase 2.

  2. △BA/CA (bone age change / chronological age)

    Measured: Baseline, 4,13,26,39,52,65,78,91,104 weeks after initiating treatment, 52 weeks in phase 1; 2 years in phase 2.

  3. Yearly growth velocity

    Measured: Baseline, 4,13,26,39,52,65,78,91,104 weeks after initiating treatment, 52 weeks in phase 1; 2 years in phase 2.

  4. ΔIGF-1 SDS (Change of insulin-like growth factor 1 standard deviation score)

    Measured: Baseline, 4,13,26,39,52,65,78,91,104 weeks after initiating treatment, 52 weeks in phase 1; 2 years in phase 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study of Dwarfism, run by Changchun GeneScience Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 9 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 19 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 17 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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?

ΔHtSDSca (The change of height standard deviation score of chronological age before and after treatment) (time frame: Baseline, 4,13,26,39,52,65,78,91,104 weeks after initiating treatment, 52 weeks in phase 1; 2 years in phase 2.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03635580, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Aug 2018.
