Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an international, multicenter study involving children treated with Saizen®, a growth hormone, who will be trained to use easypod, a new electronic injector and will complete a questionnaire after 12 week of use.

Both children naïve to growth hormone and dissatisfied with their current injection device will be recruited.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

An international, multicenter cross-sectional study (Observatoire des pratiques médicales®) involving a cohort of children treated with Saizen®, a growth hormone.

The study does not require any changes to the usual medical management of these patients and should not be considered detrimental to their physical or psychological integrity. No specific procedures or examinations will be requested, nor does the protocol require any particular treatment or follow-up visits.
