Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of a new, once-weekly growth hormone treatment with the current standard of daily growth hormone injections in children with insufficient growth hormone production.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pre-pubertal children with growth hormone deficiency who haven't had growth hormone treatment before. They should be significantly shorter than average for their age and sex, have a confirmed diagnosis of GH insufficiency, and no major health issues that could affect growth. Children treated for brain tumors must be in remission.
What is being tested?
The study compares a new weekly growth hormone injection to the standard daily treatment in children with insufficient secretion of growth hormone. The goal is to see if the new method works as well or better than the daily shots.
What are the potential side effects?
Growth hormone treatments can cause side effects like pain at the injection site, headaches, joint stiffness, muscle pain, and flu-like symptoms. Some kids might also experience swelling or numbness.
