About this study

Official title: A Four Year Open Label Multi Center Randomized Two Arm Study Of Genotropin In Idiopathic Short Stature Patients: Comparing An Individualized, Target Driven Treatment Regimen To Standard Dosing Of Genotropin

To demonstrate that an individualized, formula-based Genotropin regimen for children with Idiopathic Short Stature will lead to a targeted height gain (to reach the target of 10th percentile (%), or -1.3 SDS) during 24 months of treatment. The endpoint at 4 years is to explore treatment efficiency over four years of two formula-based dose regimens (sub-arms) compared to standard treatment

Being tested
Genotropin
Keywords
ISS, human growth hormone

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GenotropinDrug

    Compare daily injections of formula-based HGH treatment to daily injections of standard HGH treatment in subjects with Idiopathic Short Stature over 24 months period followed by an exploratory 24 months period.

  • GenotropinDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute On-target Difference (AOTD) at 24 Months

    This was defined as an absolute difference between the 24-month height standard deviation score (SDS) and targeted 24-month height SDS (10th percentile (%), or -1.3 SDS). SDS indicates how similar the participant was to the reference population. These were calculated using 2000 Center for the Disease Control (CDC) growth reference tables (by age and gender).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Variability of Height SDS at 24 Months

    The continuous endpoint of variability of height SDS at 24 months was defined as the SD of the 24 month height SDS.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Time Cost (Months Until >= -2 SDS)

    Time cost was defined as the number of months needed until height SDS was within the normal limit (ie, >= -2SDS).

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Computed Cost of Height Gain at 48 Months

    The computed cost of height gain was defined as the amount of drug used relative to the observed height-gain, in terms of mg/cm, this was calculated at Month 48.

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Estimated Cost of Height Gain Estimated Until Full Adult Height (FAH) at 48 Months

    The estimated cost of long-term height gain until FAH was calculated.

    Measured: 4 years

  5. Change From Baseline in Height SDS at 48 Months.

    Change in height SDS was measured at 48 months.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Genotropin in people with Idiopathic Short Stature, run by Pfizer at 43 sites in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 43 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Nov 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Absolute On-target Difference (AOTD) at 24 Months (time frame: 2 years). 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 5 Apr 2016.
