Retrospective Observational Study on Efficacy and Safety of Norditropin® in Children With Prader Willi Syndrome
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Novo Nordisk, December 2008

  Purpose

This study is conducted in Europe.

The aim of this observational study is to collect data from children with Prader Willi Syndrome, who have been treated off-label with Norditropin® for more than 12 months to seek approval for Norditropin treatment with Prader Willi Syndrome

Further study details as provided by Novo Nordisk:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Primary objective is to investigate changes in height Standard Deviation Score (SDS) [ Time Frame: in response to 12 months Norditropin® treatment in children with PWS (referenced to PWS population ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Changes in height SDS from start of treatment to last observation during Norditropin treatment (referenced to PWS population1) [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in body composition (DEXA, Bio impedance or stable isotope dilution) [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Height velocity (HV) and change in HV [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Glycated Fraction of Haemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Haematology [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and active form of free thyroxin [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Adverse Events. [ Time Frame: at 12 months- and at last observation during Norditropin treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
