Vosoritide for Idiopathic Short Stature in Children (Pensacola)

Studying Treatments for Idiopathic Short Stature

This research is being done to learn whether a study drug called vosoritide can help children with idiopathic short stature grow. The study will compare the effects, both benefits and potential risks, of vosoritide, human growth hormone, or placebo in children with this condition. Children who begin, or switch to, vosoritide may continue in that treatment group until they stop growing.

What鈥檚 Involved

In this study, your child will receive either vosoritide, human growth hormone, or placebo. If your child receives placebo, they will switch to vosoritide after 6 months to reduce time without active treatment. Children on vosoritide may continue receiving it until they finish growing (about age 16 for girls and 18 for boys).

If your child was not in a related earlier study, they will complete a 6-month observation period before starting treatment.

Requirements include:

  • Daily injection听of study drug under the skin.
  • 1 screening visit听and approximately听1 observation visit听(if not previously enrolled).
  • Up to听2 visits听during the observation period.
  • Regular clinic visits听until study completion.
  • Blood draws: about 6 tablespoons (92 mL) in year 1, then about 3 tablespoons (40 mL) per year.
  • DXA scans听to check bone density.
  • Hand X-rays听to monitor growth over time.
