Trial Outcomes & Findings for Somatropin Treatment to Final Height in Turner Syndrome (NCT NCT00191113)

NCT ID: NCT00191113

Last Updated: 2010-01-27

Results Overview

Value analyzed is change from baseline to the most mature height measurement available. The terms Standard Deviation Score (SDS) and National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) were defined in baseline characteristics. Greater height SDS values indicate greater height; positive values of change from baseline indicate increased height.

Participant Flow

Addenda 1, 2, and 3 are not sequential, and they differ in eligibility criteria. Depending on individual eligibility and choices made, a patient might have participated in none, 1, 2, or all 3 of these addenda.

Addendum 1: provided option of Humatrope treatment to patients who had been randomized to control in Core Study. Addendum 2: extended period of follow-up for 5 years after discontinuation from Core Study. Addendum 3: evaluated possible genomic imprinting effects (published: Hamelin et al. 2006).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, and end of 4-year addendum

Population: Population of all randomized patients. Intent to treat analysis with as-randomized treatment groups, at most mature measurement available.

Value analyzed is change from baseline to the most mature height measurement available. The terms Standard Deviation Score (SDS) and National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) were defined in baseline characteristics. Greater height SDS values indicate greater height; positive values of change from baseline indicate increased height.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at completion of core study, or at end of 4-year addendum

Population: Population of patients for whom Final Height measurements are available. Efficacy analysis with as-treated treatment groups, at most mature measurement available at or after attainment of Final Height.

SDS report the number of standard deviations from the mean for age and sex for an individual measurement (normal range: -2 to +2 SDS). Height SDS \[NCHS\] uses the NCHS US general female population reference height values for age (Kuczmarski RJ et al. 2000) as the population mean and standard deviation. Calculation of Height SDS is provided in Height SDS \[Lyon\] description (Baseline). Since data reported by Kuczmarski RJ et al provides US general female population standards, values of Height SDS \[NCHS\] for untreated patients with Turner syndrome tend to be below zero e.g, -2.0 to -4.0 SDS.

Maximum measured value over addendum. In special cases an additional measurement is taken at 2 years.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
As-Randomized Control
n=21 Participants
Control arm; untreated with Humatrope. Ethinyl estradiol (escalating doses to 20 mcg daily) after age 13, and medroxyprogesterone acetate (10 mg tablets ten days monthly) after age 15. Subject continues until Core study completion criteria are met (protocol final height).
As-Randomized Humatrope
n=40 Participants
Humatrope (0.05 mg/kg/dose) by subcutaneous injection 6 times per week. Ethinyl estradiol (escalating doses to 20 mcg daily) after age 13, and medroxyprogesterone acetate (10 mg tablets ten days monthly) after age 15. Subject continues until Core study completion criteria are met (protocol final height).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At start and through end of 4-year addendum

Population: Patients with any Addendum 2 glucose metabolism data.

Indicates if patient had any measured value exceeding threshold of normality at any visit during addendum. Abnormal Glycosylated Hemoglobin = HbA1c ≥6.8% (up until 11-May-1998); and then HbA1c ≥6.1% (from 19-May-1998 onwards).
