Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by a missing whole or part of the second sex chromosome in a phenotypic female, resulting in short stature due to haploinsufficiency of the short-stature homeobox-containing (SHOX) gene. Growth hormone (GH) is an approved therapy for this condition, although not associated with GH deficiency, and benefits are modest. Vosoritide, a C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) analog, targets chondrocytes within the growth plate leading to increased cell proliferation and hypertrophy. We hypothesize that patients with TS and short stature will respond to vosoritide treatment leading to increased growth velocity. This study will enroll pre-pubertal girls with TS who are either naïve to GH or have had a poor response to GH therapy. All subjects will be treated with vosoritide for 12 months and will be assessed for safety monitoring and improvement in height outcomes. Annualized growth velocity (AGV) on vosoritide will be compared to AGV in the 6-18 months prior to initiation of vosoritide based on historical data available in the medical record. Subjects with a positive response to therapy will be given the option to continue in the extension phase of the study during which they will continue to receive vosoritide until growth cessation.
125 studies on the registry are indexed under Turner Syndrome; 33 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 20 is below the median of 67 across 52 interventional studies indexed under Turner Syndrome.

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.
Subjects must either be naïve to growth hormone or have a poor response to growth hormone therapy defined as either:
Exclusion Criteria:
Chronic medical condition known to affect growth including but not limited to:
A. Cystic fibrosis B. Diabetes C. Inflammatory Bowel Disease D. Untreated Celiac Disease - If a subject has been diagnosed with celiac disease and has been on a gluten free diet for >12 months and has a tissue transglutaminase antibody within the normal range at screening, then they are eligible for the trial.
E. Asthma requiring a daily inhaled dose > 400 micrograms of inhaled budesonide per day or equivalent F. Taking daily oral glucocorticoids for any reason G. Note - Attention Deficit hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treated with a stimulant and treated hypothyroidism with a normal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) will NOT exclude the subject from participating in the trial. Subjects on either stimulant medication or thyroid hormone replacement must be on a stable dose for 3 months prior to the screening visit.
H. Congenital heart disease which places the subject at increased risk of an adverse cardiac outcome in the setting of hypotension including but not limited to: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis with peak gradient >50mmHg, severe aortic regurgitation (defined as pressure half time >500ms by echocardiogram), coronary insufficiency, or any anatomy with a need for an afterload reducing agent. Any patient with baseline abnormalities on echocardiogram will be reviewed with a pediatric cardiologist for appropriateness for inclusion in the study.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
