New study tracks safety of growth hormone drug in kids
NCT ID NCT06587035
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study is watching for side effects in 50 children in India who are prescribed somatrogon, a long-acting growth hormone injection for growth hormone deficiency. The goal is to see how safe the drug is during routine care over 3 years. Participants do not have to visit the clinic regularly; follow-ups can be by phone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- somatrogon (a long-acting growth hormone injection)
- What this could lead to
- If this study shows somatrogon is safe, it could support its continued use for children with growth hormone deficiency in India.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational safety study, not a test of effectiveness. It is small (50 participants) and only monitors side effects, so it cannot prove the drug works better than other treatments.
