New hope for short stature: experimental growth hormone drug enters human trials

This study tests a new medicine called GenSci134 in 128 children with growth hormone deficiency, a condition where the body doesn't make enough growth hormone, leading to slow growth. The study has two parts: first, a small group will get a single dose to check safety; second, a larger group will get multiple doses over time to see if it helps them grow taller compared to a standard treatment. The goal is to find the right dose and confirm it works well enough for a larger future study.
