Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about: * how children stick to taking their injections * their experience with the study medicines (Ngenla and daily growth hormone) prescribed to children with low levels of growth hormone. This study is seeking participants who: * are being treated or are ready to start treatment with daily growth hormone or Ngenla. * use a sharps bin to collect used needles. The study medicines will be given as per regular care agreed with the doctor. The study will compare participant experiences to help us see: \- the difference in how the participants stick to taking their daily growth hormone injections compared to participants using once weekly Ngenla. Participants will take part in this study for up to 14 months. During this time, they will have 3 study visits at the study clinic. The participants will use the HealthBeacon™ smart sharps bin for collecting the used needles or injections.

Detailed description

This multicenter, international, longitudinal, prospective, site-based, low-interventional study aims to evaluate and monitor treatment experience, defined by treatment adherence and persistence, in children aged 3-16 years old with a diagnosis of pediatric growth hormone deficiency (pGHD), receiving either daily growth hormone (dGH) treatment or once weekly Ngenla. The study is planned to be conducted in a total of 50 participating sites distributed across Belgium, Canada, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, UK, and US. Data on treatment adherence and persistence will be collected in real-time over a period of 12 months using the HealthBeacon™ Smart Sharps Bin™ as a treatment monitoring device. Additional data, including demographic and clinical characteristics, will be collected at three timepoints, in line with the routine care in each participating site and/or country, over a maximum period of 14 months. Approximately 400 participants will be enrolled in the study (approximately 200 participants prescribed dGH injections and approximately 200 prescribed Ngenla).
