Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

Multicentric, open-label, randomized, pilot comparative study in parallel groups comparing 1 group of subjects receiving 0.057 milligram/kilogram/day (mg/kg/day) or 0.40 mg/kg/week of Saizen® during 1 year to 1 group receiving 0.035 mg/kg/day (0.24 mg/kg/week) of Saizen® during 1 year after an initial 3-year treatment of recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) therapy with 0.057 mg/kg/day in both groups.

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Saizen® 0.057 mg/kg/day

    Subjects who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to 0.057 mg/kg/day in this multi-center study. Subjects were stratified at randomization according to the Height-Standard Deviation Score (H-SDS) at this time (less than \[\<\] -2 SDS or greater than \[\>\] -2 SDS)

  • Experimental

    Saizen® 0.035 mg/kg/day

    Subjects who met all inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to 0.035 mg/kg/day in this multi-center study. Subjects were stratified at randomization according to the H-SDS at this time (\< -2 SDS or \> -2 SDS)

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Height Velocity

    Time frame · Month 12

    Registry description

    Height Velocity (HV) is the change in height since the previous year´s measurement and more precisely: HV = {(h-hp)/(d-dp)} \* 365.25 \[centimeter (cm)/year\] where h is current height in cm, hp is previous height in cm, closest to 1 year previous, d is the current date and dp is the date of measurement of previous height, closest to 1 year previous. Additionally, d and dp have to be within 0.6 years and 1.5 years. HV is the mean height velocity over the interval between d and dp but is displayed as HV at d.

Secondary outcomes(7)
  1. Change From Baseline in Height-Standard Deviation Score (H-SDS) at Month 6 and Month 12

    Time frame · Baseline (randomization), Month 6 and Month 12

    Registry description

    Height-Standard Deviation Score (H-SDS) was calculated as height minus mean (age-and sex-matched reference) divided by standard deviation (SD) \[age and sex-matched reference\]. Greater H-SDS indicates greater height.

  2. Height Velocity-Standard Deviation Score (HV-SDS)

    Time frame · Month 6 and Month 12

    Registry description

    Height Velocity-Standard Deviation Score (HV-SDS) was calculated as height velocity minus reference mean height velocity divided by SD of the reference mean height velocity. Greater HV-SDS indicates greater height velocity.

  3. Change From Baseline in Height at Month 6

    Time frame · Baseline (randomization) and Month 6

  4. Change From Baseline in Bone Age at Month 12

    Time frame · Baseline (randomization) and Month 12

    Registry description

    Bone age was assessed by a left wrist X-Ray and evaluated by the investigator according to the Greulich and Pyle method.

  5. Insulin Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) Levels

    Time frame · Baseline (randomization), Month 6 and Month 12

  6. Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 (IGFBP-3) Levels

    Time frame · Baseline (randomization), Month 6 and Month 12

  7. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame · Baseline (randomization) until Month 12

    Registry description

    Adverse Events (AEs): Any untoward medical occurrence in the form of signs, clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory findings, diseases, symptoms, or worsening of complications. TEAEs: AEs that occur during treatment with the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP).
