Children with idiopathic short stature (ISS)
Ondersteuning
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Height at stop of therapy (at onset of puberty) and final height.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The predictive power of the diagnostic phase (dose-response relationship, in vitro responsiveness of skin fibroblasts) is limited. GH accelerates puberty onset and duration. No clear effect on quality of life was found.
Doel van het onderzoek
The change in biochemical parameters of bone and colleagen metabolism during a shortterm GH dose-response study predicts the long-term effect of GH on growth. Idiopathic short stature is partially explainable by an abnormal tissue responsiveness to GH and IGF-I. GH theray in a dosage of 6 IU//mw.day administered before puberty increases height velocity, height in adolescence and final height. GH administration affects puberty onset and its duration. GH administration affects quality of life.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
After randomisation, the control group did not receive treatment, and were followed yearly for growth and puberty assessment.
The treatment group underwent two 3 months periods of GH administration (1.5 IU/m2.d, 3.0 IU/m2.d) with 3 months washout periods in between. Thereafter 6 IU/m2.d was given until the beginning of puberty.
