NCT ID NCT06037473
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is tracking 2,600 Chinese children with growth disorders who are receiving a long-acting growth hormone injection. The goal is to see how well it works and how safe it is over the long term in real-world settings. Researchers will measure changes in height and look for factors that affect treatment success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PEGylated recombinant human growth hormone injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm a convenient once-weekly growth hormone option for children with growth disorders, improving height outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. Individual responses vary, and long-term safety data are still being collected.
