Overview
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of Somatrogon for the treatment of pediatric growth hormone deficiency (p GHD) in India.
Pediatric GHD is a condition caused by too less amounts of growth hormone in the body. Children with GHD have a short height. GHD can be present at birth or develop later. The condition occurs if the pituitary gland makes too little growth hormone. This is a small gland at the bottom of the brain that releases hormones that affect growth and other body functions.
This study is seeking for participants who are:
- confirmed with p GHD.
- given Somatrogon to be taken as an injection.
The safety of Somatrogon injection will be checked based on side effects. These side effects can happen within 3 years after taking Somatrogon. A side effect is something (expected or unexpected) that you feel was caused by a medicine or treatment you take. The study doctor will collect side effect information and put the information on patient's case form.
Follow-up of the patient's will be performed via clinic re-visit or over a call. It is not a rule for the participants to visit the clinic in this study.
This study will help to see if Somatrogon is safe.
