E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
(1) To establish the concentration time profile of orally administered clonidine in the hours following administration (2) To assess the pharmacodynamic response following oral clonidine administration with particular attention for: Depth of sedation, Haemodynamic parameters (including heart rate variability), Growth hormone response, serum cortisol response and serum glucose response. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Patients aged 0-17 years - Must have an indication for a growth hormone stimulation test to investigate a possible growth hormone deficiency, and this is to be decided by or under supervision of a staff paediatrician, paediatric endocrinologist or fellow - Written informed consent from parents or legal guardian, in the case of a child aged 12 years or older written informed consent from both parents/legal guardian and the child |
