Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of a High Dosage Compared to the Label Dosage of Somatropin in Early Pubertal Stage Children With Growth Hormone Deficiency (NCT NCT00191165)

NCT ID: NCT00191165

Last Updated: 2009-06-10

Results Overview

Height velocity (difference between 2 height measurements, divided by years elapsed between measurements) SDS was derived by subtracting age and gender-matched population mean height velocity from patient's height velocity (based on measurements 12 months apart) then dividing this value by age and gender-matched population height velocity SD.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12-Months

Population: All enrolled participants with baseline and 12-month height measurements.

Height velocity (difference between 2 height measurements, divided by years elapsed between measurements) SDS was derived by subtracting age and gender-matched population mean height velocity from patient's height velocity (based on measurements 12 months apart) then dividing this value by age and gender-matched population height velocity SD.

Standard Deviation 1.41

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 12-Months, 24-Months

Population: All enrolled participants with at least one post-baseline height measurement, using last observation available prior to 12-month and 24-month visits respectively, if 12-month or 24-month height was not available.

This was derived by subtracting the age-and-gender-matched population 50th percentile height from the patient's height and then dividing this value by the age-and-gender-matched population height SD.

Height velocity (difference between 2 height measurements, divided by years elapsed between measurements) SDS was derived by subtracting age and gender-matched population mean height velocity from patient's height velocity (based on measurements 12 months apart) then dividing this value by age and gender-matched population height velocity SD.
