New growth shot tested to help short kids catch up

NCT ID NCT07260500

Summary

This study is testing whether a new, longer-acting growth hormone injection works better than the standard version for children who are short because they were born small for their gestational age. About 72 prepubertal children will receive either one of two doses of the new medication or the standard treatment for 26 weeks to see which helps them grow faster. The goal is to find a more convenient treatment option that may require fewer injections while still helping children reach a healthier height.
