First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new growth hormone medicine (inpegsomatropin) given once a week compared to the standard daily growth hormone shot. About 300 children with idiopathic short stature (short for no known medical reason) will receive either the weekly or daily injection for one year. The goal is to see if the weekly shot works as well and is safe.
