This randomized, active-controlled, two-armed, open-label, and cross-over trial was designed to compare efficacy and safety of 0.03 mg/kg/day subcutaneous injections of either CinnaTropin® or Novo Nordisk growth hormone product in 30 children with Idiopathic Growth Hormone Deficiency. Patients were randomized to receive one of the products for three months. After that, each patient crossed over to the other arm to receive the other product for another three months. The primary objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of CinnaGen growth hormone (GH) with Nordilet. The secondary objectives of this study were further comparison and evaluation of efficacy along with safety between CinnaTropin® and Nordilet®.
This study was a national, single center, randomized, active-controlled, two-arm, cross-over clinical trial to compare efficacy and safety of CinnaTropin® with Novo Nordisk growth hormone product in children with Idiopathic Growth Hormone Deficiency (IGHD).
After signing the written informed consent, patients were randomized to receive daily subcutaneous injections of CinnaTropin® or reference product (0.03mg/kg/day). Patients were admitted to receive the medication based on planned treatment. After three months patients were switched to receive the other product for another three months. Treatment visits were monthly for both groups.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of CinnaTropin® with Novo Nordisk growth hormone product. The secondary objectives of this study are to further evaluation efficacy and safety.
During the trial, if patients bone age reached 14 and the improvement in their height was less than 2.5 cm than last year or, they did not reach the desired height appropriate for their age and gender or, if the growth plates were closed and they couldn't reach appropriate adulthood height, treatment will be discontinued.
The clinical trial was according to procedures that incorporate the ethical principles of GCP. Accurate and reliable data collection was assured by verification and cross-check of the CRFs against the patient's records by clinical monitors (source document verification was performed), and the maintenance of a drug-dispensing log by the center. A comprehensive validation check program was used to verify the data, and discrepancy reports were generated accordingly for resolution by the investigator.
Determination of sample size was based on the mean growth velocity of 9.7±1.3 following treatment with growth hormone and under consideration of 80% power, a sample size of 6 patient in each group was calculated. By considering patient loss and in order to increase the statistical power of the study a sample size of 15 patients in each group was determined.

Pre-pubertal boys and girls between 4-16 years (Tanner's stage 1)
Exclusion Criteria:
Any Illness that prevent the proper conduct of the trial, such as seizure, acute or systemic infectious disease in the past 6 months, chronic pulmonary infection, AIDS, chronic liver disease (verified disease of the hepatic cells or 2-fold or more increase in liver enzymes)
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Height velocity
The primary outcome of this study is to compare height velocity of patients in each treatment arm. Height velocity is reported in terms of centimeters per year.
Time frame: three months
Height
Changes in height is measured in both treatment arms.
Time frame: three months
Weight
Changes in height is measured in both treatment arms.
Time frame: three months
Bone Age
Bone age is determined by wrist x-ray radiography in both treatment arms
Time frame: six months
HSDS
Height standard deviation score is calculated to compare height based on reference population.
Time frame: three months
HVSDS
Height velocity standard deviation score (HVSDS) is calculated to assess height velocity based on reference population.
Time frame: three months
The incidence of Adverse Events
The incidence of adverse events at each visit is recorded based on patients' reports, vital signs, physical examinations, and laboratory tests for systemic safety, including liver function, renal function, complete blood count and clinical chemistries, urinalysis, and hematologic testing.
Time frame: three months; From receiving the first dose of each recombinant human growth hormone product until the last dose;
No study locations are listed for this record.
