Study population

A total of 60 patients (consisting of non-naïve patients who were previously enrolled in study: GHLIQUID-4020 and naïve patients enrolled after approval of the Noonan indication in Japan) are planned to be included in this study.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Signed obtained before any study-related activities (study-related activities are any procedure related to recording of data according to the protocol).
  • The decision to initiate treatment with commercially available Norditropin® has been made by the patient/Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR) and the treating physician before and independently from the decision to include the patient in this study.
  • For non-naïve patients; patients who were previously enrolled in study: GHLIQUID-4020.
  • For naïve patients; short stature due to Noonan syndrome diagnosed by the physician and a decision to initiate treatment with Norditropin® has been made by the patient/parent and the physician. At study sites, all patients will be registered consecutively from the first patient after approval date (consecutively registered system).
  • Male or female, 3 years old or over, bone age: less than 17 years old for male / less than 15 years old for female.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous participation in this study. Participation is defined as having given in this study.
  • Known or suspected allergy to study products or related products.
  • In case of naïve patients, patients who have received growth hormone (GH) products for treatment of indication other than short stature due to Noonan syndrome before approval date of Noonan indication.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2018 to primary completion in Jan 2022, 46 months.

Of 128 observational studies under Genetic Diseases, Inborn, half reached primary completion within 110 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 46 and three quarters within 193. This study's 46 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 14, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
