Active clinical trials for "Dwarfism, Pituitary"

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEG Somatropin Injection (Jintrolong®) in the treatment of short stature due to endogenous growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in the broad of population of children.

To Evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEG Somatropin in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency, as well as to study the dosage of PEG Somatropin.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ALTU-238 in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency who have not yet reached puberty who lack the normal ability to make growth hormone themselves. This study will also test if ALTU-238 works as a weekly treatment.

The aim of the study is to determine the specificity and sensitivity of the combined growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) + Arginine test in healthy volunteers, subjects with highly probable adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) and subjects who were probably free of AGHD.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long term treatment outcomes of Growth Hormone treatment in patients who are prescribed and treated with Genotropin. Also, plan to determine the relationships between clinical status, dosage schedule and response to Genotropin treatment. This study will also contribute to our knowledge of adult Growth Hormone Deficiency, including transition period in Childhood Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency and its treatment.

It is now widespread practice to treat children with short stature with growth hormone. However, how an individual child will respond to growth hormone treatment is unpredictable and highly variable. Some children will not respond to growth hormone treatment at all. Currently, the only way to determine how well growth hormone therapy is working is to wait until they have been treated for six months and to compare the pre-treatment growth velocity with the growth velocity on treatment. It would be helpful to have a blood test that could be done shortly after starting growth hormone that could predict whether how well a child is responding to treatment. Such a blood test would allow endocrinologists to adjust the growth hormone dose (or possibly stop it altogether, if it is not working) long before the six months it currently takes. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and its partner amino-terminal propeptide of CNP (NTproCNP) are proteins that play a critical role in regulating growth. The investigators have previously shown that blood levels of these proteins increase in children being treated with growth hormone. The investigators believe that a blood test for these proteins will be useful in predicting a child's response to growth hormone treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine when after starting growth hormone, the blood levels of CNP and NTproCNP start to increase.

This observational study is conducted globally. The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of real-life treatment with Norditropin®. The study population will consist of children and adults who are on treatment with Norditropin® in accordance with normal clinical practice.

This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this study is to collect information about the efficacy and safety of Norditropin® (somatropin) in the long-term treatment of short stature with GHD (Growth Hormone Deficiency) where epiphysial discs are not closed and short stature with Turner Syndrome where epiphysial discs are not closed.
