Patient Perception of Treatment Burden in Weekly Versus Daily Growth Hormone Injections in Children With GHD
- Registration Number
- NCT03831880
- Lead Sponsor
- Pfizer
- Brief Summary
This is an open label randomized 24 week crossover trial assessing the treatment burden of a weekly growth hormone injection regimen (somatrogon) compared to a daily growth hormone injection regimen (Genotropin). Approximately 90 children with growth hormone deficiency who have been stable on treatment with daily Genotropin will be enrolled.
- Detailed Description
Subjects will be randomized to one of two sequences, either 12 weeks of continued treatment with daily Genotropin followed by 12 weeks of treatment with weekly somatrogon, or 12 weeks of treatment with weekly somatrogon followed by 12 weeks of treatment with daily Genotropin. Subjects will have study visits at Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24. Subjects will also be followed up by phone 8 to 12 days after each treatment period begins (Week 1 and Week 13). Subjects and caregivers (as a Dyad) will complete questionnaires assessing treatment burden at baseline and at the end of each 12 week treatment period. All subjects/caregivers will receive a follow up phone call at Week 28.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Total Score Related to Overall Life Interference Assessed at Baseline, Using Dyad Clinical Outcomes Assessment 1 (DCOA 1) Questionnaire Baseline Participants were assessed for their treatment burden using DCOA 1 questionnaire completed by participant/caregiver dyads. The participant life interference questionnaire component of the DCOA 1 had 7 questions (life interference \[5 questions\]: a measure of life interference \[daily activities/social activities/leisure/night away from home/travel\]; life interference-changes to life routine \[1 question\]: a measure of how often changes are made to life routine; and life interference-bother of growth hormone \[GH\] injections \[1 question\]: a measure of how often the growth hormone injections cause bother) and all questions used a 5-point scale: 1= never, 2= rarely, 3= sometimes, 4= often, 5= always. The overall life interference total score was sum of all 7 questions, scores were transformed from raw scores and converted to a 0 to 100 scale; a lower score meant less life interference (better outcome).
