Brief Summary
GeNeSIS is an open-label, multinational, multicenter, observational study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Humatrope treatment. GeNeSIS is a modular program that includes:
- Core study: Evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Humatrope in the observational setting
- Genetic Analysis Sub-study: Investigating the genetic defects underlying growth hormone (GH) deficiency and non-GH-deficient growth disorders
- Growth Prediction Sub-study: Working to validate and refine specific models to accurately predict growth response to GH
- Short Stature Homeobox containing gene (SHOX) Deficiency Sub-study: Elucidating the clinical, endocrine and radiological features of participants with SHOX deficiency due to loss of, or mutation in the SHOX gene (including participants with Turner syndrome)
- Neoplasia Sub-study: To characterize the natural history of neoplastic disease, especially in relation to recurrence/progression of primary neoplasia or development of secondary neoplasia in children with a history of neoplasia

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in GH-treated Participants
Year 15
Primary Malignancies in Participant Without Previous Cancer History
Due to the small number of participants involved, untreated and unknown treatment groups, data was not provided and could not be calculated.
Year 15
Final Height (FH) Gain by Diagnostic Group
The standard deviation score (SDS) reports the number of standard deviations from the mean for age and sex for an individual measurement (normal range is -2 to +2 SDS). Height SDS is derived by subtracting the population mean from individual's height value and then dividing that difference by the population standard deviation. Greater height SDS values indicate greater height. Due to the small number of participants involved, untreated and unknown treatment groups, data was not provided and could not be calculated.
Baseline through Year 15
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Percentage of Participants With Defects in Genes Associated With Pituitary Development
Baseline through Year 15
Predicted First Year Height Gain Versus Actual First Year Height Gain
Baseline through Year 15
Change From Baseline to Final Height in Anthropometric Measures for Participants With SHOX Deficiency
Baseline, Year 15
Percentage of Participants With Recurrent Neoplasms and Second Neoplasms in Childhood Cancer Survivors
Baseline through Year 15
Percentage of Participants With De Novo Neoplasms
Baseline through Year 15
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Treated
Participants treated with somatropin for improvement of growth
Untreated
Untreated participants with presence or history of neoplastic disease evaluated for endocrine or growth disorder or with any SHOX deficiency related disorder
Interventions
Dose, frequency and duration at discretion of attending physician.
Eligibility Criteria
Clinics and private practices
You may qualify if:
- Treatment with Humatrope for improvement of growth.
- No treatment with somatropin in participants with a history of neoplasia or in those with any SHOX deficiency-related disorder.
You may not qualify if:
- Participants with closed epiphyses are not eligible for GeNeSIS entry. However, participants may remain in the study if epiphyseal closure occurs during study participation.
