New growth hormone injection aims to help short children grow taller
NCT ID NCT07450053
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new drug called GenSci134, a growth hormone injection, in 128 children with idiopathic short stature (short height with no known cause). The trial has two parts: first, a single-dose phase to check safety and how the body processes the drug; second, a multiple-dose phase comparing GenSci134 to an existing growth hormone (Norditropin) to see if it improves growth rate over 24 weeks. The goal is to find the right dose and confirm it is safe and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GenSci134 (a new growth hormone injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option to help children with idiopathic short stature grow taller.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 128 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The new drug may not work better than existing growth hormone or could have unexpected side effects.
