Active clinical trials for "Dwarfism, Pituitary"

This is a Phase 1b/2a study of VRS-317 (long-acting growth hormone) in pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency. During Phase 1b, pediatric patients each will receive a single subcutaneous injection of VRS-317. During the Phase 2a stage, patients will receive 6 months of VRS-317 treatment at dose levels selected from the Phase 1b stage. The primary endpoints for the study are to determine the safety and efficacy of repeat dose VRS-317.

This trial is set up to compare Zomacton to Genotropin for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency in children. The children will be treated for 1 year. Half of the patients will be treated with Genotropin and half with Zomacton. During this time they will be dosed every day by themselves or their parents at home in the evening. There will be 138 patients in the trial from age 3 to age 11. The patients cannot have been treated before with growth hormone and the patients must have a proven growth hormone deficiency, this will be shown by a specific test that will be performed before the trial in the local clinic and once during the trial. During the time of the treatment the patients will come to visit the clinic every 3 months. At these visits their heights will be measured, blood samples will be taken, physical examinations will be performed and questions about their health will be asked. At 2 times in the trial they will have a hand x-ray taken to measure the bone age. At the end of the trial the patients will stop the treatment and continue on one of the marketed products available to treat growth hormone deficiency.

This is an open-label, prospective, multicentric, non-comparative, non-randomized Phase IV interventional study in which subjects pre-diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) were treated for 4 weeks with Saizen to compare the response between GHD children born appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and those born small for gestation age (SGA) after 4 weeks of Saizen therapy.

The purpose of the multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled phase II study is to determine whether pegylated recombinant human growth hormone is effective in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency.

To evaluate long-term safety of growth hormone replacement in adult patients with growth hormone deficiency

The study aims at identifying the predictive markers after one month of Saizen therapy in Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) and Turner Syndrome children.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effect of abnormal liver (hepatic) function on the amount of trial drug getting into the body and removal of the drug from the body (this is called pharmacokinetics). In this trial the participants will receive three subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of the trial drug somapacitan. Somapacitan is a long-acting growth hormone analogue (a drug similar to human growth hormone) intended for once-weekly subcutaneous administration.

This is a Phase IV, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study of somatropin (rDNA origin) (Nutropin AQ v1.1) in pre-pubertal children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) naïve to prior recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment. The study is designed to characterize the immunogenicity profile of somatropin (rDNA origin) injection when administered daily subcutaneously for 12 months. The clinical impact of immunogenicity will also be assessed.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and tolerability of up to five doses of VRS-317 in Adult Growth Hormone Deficient patients. Patients will be evaluated for evidence of activity of VRS-317 by measurement of changes from baseline in insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) and binding protein (IGFBP-3), and bone turnover (bone alkaline phosphatase) Descriptive pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters (IGF-I and IGFBP-3) will be determined by standard model independent methods based on the plasma concentration-time data of each subject. These parameters include: Cmax, Tmax, AUCavg, AUC0-inf, and t1/2. The purpose is to determine the appropriate dose of VRS-317 to maintain a normal range (for appropriate age/gender) for IGF-I levels in adult patients for up to one month after administration of a single dose

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety profiles of Norditropin® (lyophilized somatropin) and Norditropin® cartridges (liquid somatropin) in children with growth hormone deficiency.
