Brief Summary

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

This is a Phase IV, open label, case-controlled, observational study to evaluate the age-adjusted cumulative height velocity in pre-pubertal isolated growth hormone deficient (IGHD) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) participants receiving daily doses of somatropin (recombinant human growth hormone \[rhGH\]; Nutropin) using NuSpin device compared to historical controls from the national cooperative growth study (NCGS).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1: IGHD participants

Isolated growth hormone deficient (IGHD) participants who initiated somatropin (Deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\] origin) (recombinant human growth hormone \[rhGH\]) using the NuSpin device, will be observed for at least 2 years. The choice of initiation of NuSpin treatment and the treatment regimen will be as per treating physician's discretion, the study protocol does not enforce or specify any treatment regimen.

NuSpin

Intervention Type DEVICE

Device for administration of doses of somatropin.

Somatropin

Intervention Type DRUG

Somatropin using either NuSpin or Nutropin AQ Pen, as per standard dosing.

Cohort 2: ISS participants

Idiopathic short stature (ISS) participants who initiated somatropin (DNA origin) (rhGH) using the NuSpin device, will be observed for at least 2 years. The choice of initiation of NuSpin treatment and the treatment regimen will be as per treating physician's discretion, the study protocol does not enforce or specify any treatment regimen.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Bone age less than or equal to (\</=) 8 years (females) or \</= 10 years (males) as determined by x-ray of the left hand and wrist obtained within six months before enrollment
* Prepubertal males and females by physical exam
* Naive to rhGH therapy
* Diagnosis of IGHD or ISS by standard pharmacologic testing and no other discernable etiology for short stature
* Height standard deviation score (Ht SDS) \</= -1.5 (\</= 5th percentile) for IGHD participants; Ht SDS \</= -2.25 (\</= 1.2 percentile) for ISS participants

Exclusion Criteria

* Short stature etiologies other than IGHD or ISS
* Participants receiving chronic corticosteroid therapy (greater than \[\>\] 3 months) for other medical conditions
* Participants with active malignancy or any other condition that the investigator believes would pose a significant hazard to the participant if rhGH were initiated
* Females with turner syndrome
* Any previous rhGH treatment
* Participation in another simultaneous medical investigation or trial
* Pediatric participants with closed epiphyses
* Participants prescribed rhGH doses outside the variance of NCGS control participant dosing
