A Research Study Looking at How Safe Somapacitan is and How Well it Works in Children Who Need Help...

SGATurner Syndrome2 more

The purpose of this study is to find out if somapacitan is safe and how well somapacitan works in children either born small for gestational age or with Turner syndrome, Noonan syndrome or idiopathic short stature. Somapacitan is a new growth hormone medicine for treatment of low level of growth hormone. The study will last for about 3 years. During the study, the participants will be treated with somapacitan once a week. Somapacitan can be injected anytime during the day. The study doctor or nurse will show how to inject somapacitan, so that the participant knows how to do it at home.

SGATurner Syndrome2 more

The study compares two medicines for treatment of children born small and who stay small, or with Turner Syndrome, Noonan Syndrome, or idiopathic short stature. The purpose of the study is to see how well treatment with somapacitan works compared to treatment with Norditropin®. Somapacitan is a new medicine, and Norditropin® is a medicine doctors can already prescribe in some countries. The study will last for about 3 years. The participants will either get somapacitan once a week for 3 years or Norditropin® once a day for 1 year followed by somapacitan once a week for 2 years. Which treatment the participants get is decided by chance.

The Danish TURNER Cryopreservation Study

Fertility DisordersTurner Syndrome1 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if cryopreservation of ovarian tissue in girls with Turner syndrome can improve their fertility and lead to increased number of liveborn babies of Turner syndrome mothers. Women with Turner syndrome suffer from premature ovarian insufficiency which leads to infertility and lack of estrogen. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the number of pregnancies and liveborn children increase after cryopreservation of ovarian tissue in turner syndrome? Is the possible to predict when a girl with Turner syndrome reach menopause using monitoring of sex hormones? Is it possible to identify any genes causing ovarian failure in Turner syndrome females? Participants between 2-18 years old will be asked to participate in a laparoscopic surgery and removal of one ovary in order to cryopreserve the tissue until adulthood. The the cortical tissue will be autotransplanted in order to preserve fertility. The participant will during the study period be monitored using sex hormones. Furthermore, the investigators wish to investigate the ovarian tissue using RNA sequencing and DNA methylation analysis. No comparison group is present.

Preservation of Ovarian Cortex Tissue in Girls With Turner Syndrome

Fertility PreservationOvarian Tissue Cryopreservation3 more

Rationale: Infertility due is a major concern for girls with Turner syndrome (TS) and their parents. Physicians are often asked about possible options to preserve their fertility. However, despite some experimental case reports, clear evidence for fertility preservation in these girls is lacking and many questions remain. Without evidence on the effectiveness of fertility preservation it cannot routinely be offered to girls with TS. Objective: To investigate the occurrence of live birth in women with TS after ovarian tissue cryopreservation in childhood followed by auto transplantation in adulthood. Study design: A national multicentre exploratory intervention study Study population: Girls diagnosed with Turner Syndrome, aged 2-18 years. Intervention: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation in childhood followed by auto transplantation in adulthood. In order to obtain the ovarian tissue for cryopreservation, all girls must undergo a laparoscopy under general anaesthesia which will be performed in academic/university clinics with paediatric surgery. During the laparoscopic intervention, a unilateral oophorectomy will be performed, thereby leaving the other ovary intact for hormone production, ovulation, spontaneous pregnancies and as an auto transplantation site for cryopreserved-thawed ovarian cortical tissue later on. Furthermore, a small sample of the ovarian cortex will be used to assess the oocyte quality and genetics (e.g. the presence of germ line mosaicism). Oocytes will be karyotyped by using Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Karyotypic and hormonal data will be collected once at the yearly clinical visit at the paediatric-endocrinologist. Therefore, a buccal swab and one extra blood sample will be taken and evaluated during the routine laboratory evaluation. In the future, auto transplantation of frozen-thawed ovarian cortex strips will be performed.

Vosoritide for Short Stature in Turner Syndrome

Turner SyndromeShort Stature

Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by a missing whole or part of the second sex chromosome in a phenotypic female, resulting in short stature due to haploinsufficiency of the SHOX gene. Growth hormone (GH) is an approved therapy for this condition, although not associated with GH deficiency, and benefits are modest. Vosoritide, a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog, targets chondrocytes within the growth plate leading to increased cell proliferation and hypertrophy. We hypothesize that patients with TS and short stature will respond to vosoritide treatment leading to increased growth velocity. This study will enroll pre-pubertal girls with TS who are either naïve to GH or have had a poor response to GH therapy. All subjects will be treated with vosoritide for 12 months and will be assessed for safety monitoring and improvement in height outcomes. Annualized growth velocity (AGV) on vosoritide will be compared to AGV in the 6-18 months prior to initiation of vosoritide based on historical data available in the medical record. Subjects with a positive response to therapy will be given the option to continue in the extension phase of the study during which they will continue to receive vosoritide until growth cessation.

Turner And Klinefelter Treatment Target Study

Klinefelter SyndromeTurner Syndrome

Rationale: Health related Quality of life (HRQoL) is impaired in patients with Turner and Klinefelter syndrome (TS and KS). It is unknown what the optimal endocrine treatment target values are that maximize HRQoL in patients with these syndromes. Therefore the relation between HRQoL and biochemical parameters will be studied in large cohorts of patients with TS and KS. This information will give essential insight that will help to improve endocrine treatment and HRQoL in these patients. Research objectives: To explore the relationship between biochemical parameters and HRQoL in patients with TS and KS. Hypothesis: Biochemical parameters are related to HRQoL in patients with TS and KS. Study design: Cross-sectional, observational, multicentre study Study population: Patients with KS or TS, 18 years or older Methods and procedures: To measure fatigue the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS-20) will be used, for QoL the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-L5) will be used and for stress the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and hair cortisol levels. For patients with KS the anxiety scale from the Liebowitz social anxiety scale (LSAS) will be used to measure social anxiety. To measure the long-term exposure to testosterone in KS patients, testosterone concentrations in hair will be measured. For patients with KS, all questions from the questionnaires will be discussed orally during a visit to the outpatients clinic. One extra tube of blood and a strand of hair will be collected during routine blood withdrawal. All other variables are already part of the standard patient care and are available in patient records. For patients with TS all information including the questionnaires and laboratory values is already available and will be collected from clinical records. Main study parameters/endpoints: The relationship between different hormonal parameters and HRQoL as measured by questionnaires. The main hormonal parameter that will be investigated in KS is testosterone in hair. For patients with Turner syndrome, free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and liver enzymes, which have already been collected, will be investigated. The relationships between the EQ-5D-L5 score and testosterone in hair (in patients with KS) and thyroid hormone status (in patients with TS) are the primary outcomes.
