About this study

Official title: Long-term Safety Follow-up After Growth Hormone Treatment (rhGH) of Short Children Born Small for Gestational Age (SGA)

This study is performed as part of the Marketing Authorisation Holder's post-marketing pharmacovigilance plan to investigate the long-term safety, in particular the diabetogenic potential and immunogenicity of rhGH therapy in short children born small for gestational age (SGA).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is

  1. to monitor short children born SGA who were treated with growth hormone in study EP00-401 for the development of diabetes for a further 10 years after termination of growth hormone treatment and
  2. to report the incidence of anti-rhGH antibodies and of E. coli host cell peptide (HCP) antibodies (ABs) for 6 months after termination of GH treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the Long-term Effect of Growth Hormone Treatment on the Development of Diabetes After End of Therapy.

    Number of participants diagnosed with Diabetes mellitus type 2 during the study, defined as fullfilment of these 3 criteria:

    • FPG ≥ 126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/L) during blood sampling and/or during Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)
    • 2-h plasma glucose ≥ 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/L) during an OGTT
    • Investigator documenting diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 2 during OGTT

    Measured: 5 years

  2. To Evaluate the Long Term Effects of rhGH on Carbohydrate Metabolism Through Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) Levels

    Supportive to Primary Endpoint

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years

  3. To Evaluate the Long Term Effects of rhGH on Carbohydrate Metabolism Through Fasting Insulin Levels

    Supportive to Primary Endpoint

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years

  4. To Evaluate the Long Term Effects of rhGH on Carbohydrate Metabolism Through Glucose Glycolsylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Supportive to Primary Endpoint

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years

  5. To Evaluate the Long Term Effects of rhGH on Carbohydrate Metabolism Through HOMA and QUICKI Scores

    Supportive to Primary Endpoint. HOMA = homeostasis model assessment for Insulin resistance: Healthy Range: 1.0 (0.5-1.4).

    < 1.0 means you are insulin-sensitive which is optimal. >1.9 indicates early insulin resistance. > 2.9 indicates significant insulin resistance. The quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) measures insulin sensitivity, which is the inverse of insulin resistance. The QUICKI calculation for insulin resistance in humans fall broadly within a range between 0.45 for unusually healthy individuals and 0.30 in diabetics. Lower numbers reflect greater insulin resistance.

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. to Evaluate IGF-I and IGFBP-3 Levels After End of Growth Hormone Treatment

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 year , 5 years

  2. To Evaluate the Incidence of Anti-rhGH Antibodies After Termination of Growth Hormone Treatment.

    number of participants with positive results for anti-drug antibody (ADA). Percentages indicated are calculated based on the total number of patients (118 participants).

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years

  3. to Evaluate Final Height

    Measured: baseline, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bloodsampling in people with Short Children Born Small for Gestational Age (SGA), run by Sandoz at 23 sites in 6 countries.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in Poland, Czechia, Romania, Germany, Georgia and 1 more country. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Aug 2019). 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?

Evaluate the Long-term Effect of Growth Hormone Treatment on the Development of Diabetes After End of Therapy. (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Aug 2019.
