About this study

Official title: The Effect of Nutritional Formula Supplementation on Linear Growth of GH Treated Prepubertal Children With Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS) After 2 Years From the Beginning of GH-therapy: a Randomized, Double- Blind, Placebo-controlled Trial

The proposed study is a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of combined growth hormone (GH) treatment \&nutritional formula supplementation versus GH \& placebo on growth parameters in 64 children with Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS) after the second year of GH treatment.

Participants will be randomly assigned either to the intervention group or the placebo control group. Randomization for the two study groups will be made in a ratio of 1:1. Both participants and study team will be blinded to the type of treatment that each patient will receive during the study. The randomization will be done according to gender.

Participants in the intervention groups will be treated with the study formula and participants in the control group will be treated with a placebo low caloric formula (powder added to water). The study will continue for 6 months of intervention versus active placebo, with additional 6 months (an extension period), in which participants at both groups, the intervention and the placebo, will be offered to continue their participation in the study with the active study supplement.

Being tested
Nutritional supplementation standardized formula, Placebo

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

Contact Moshe Phillip, Prof. (972-3-9253282, mosheph@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

height standard deviation score (SDS) (time frame: at 6 moths). The study lists 2 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?
