NCT ID NCT06830525
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study involved 40 families of children with growth hormone deficiency. Researchers used data from connected injector devices and family surveys to develop a personalized growth hormone treatment profile (PGTP) report. The goal is to help doctors create more tailored treatment plans, similar to tools used in diabetes care.
