Study design details

Main study objective

The purpose of this multi-country, non interventional prospective cohort study will be to assess the long term safety and effectiveness of Genotropin, other daily hGH treatments, and Ngenla, a long-acting hGH, once granted marketing authorization and is commercially available, all of which is at the discretion of the treating physician under routine clinical care.

Outcomes

Primary Objectives:
- To estimate incidence rates (IRs) of safety events of interest among patients on Genotropin, other daily hGH treatments and Ngenla.
- To describe and compare effectiveness of Genotropin, other daily hGH treatments and Ngenla.

Secondary Objectives:
- To evaluate treatment adherence and compliance of Genotropin, other daily hGH treatments and Ngenla.
- To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and treatment experience of patients on Genotropin, other daily hGH treatments and Ngenla.
- To compare incidence rates of safety events in patients on Genotropin, other daily hGH and Ngenla by exploratory analysis

Data analysis plan

Descriptive analyses will be performed to gain an understanding of the qualitative and quantitative nature of the data collected and the characteristics of the sample studied.
Descriptive statistics for continuous variables include the number of observations, mean, median, standard deviation, interquartile range, and range. Categorical variables will be presented as number of observations, frequency, and percentage, 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) will be included as appropriate.
All medical history, comorbidities and AEs will be recorded and coded using the most recent version of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities.
All exposures and concomitant medications will be recorded and coded using World Health Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary.
Safety data will be presented in tabular and/or listing format and summarized descriptively, where appropriate. Event count and AE frequency will be reported. Number (and %) with AEs, SAEs, and discontinuations will be reported.
