Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Clonidine is studied in the paediatric population, more specific children with short stature. It is used as a diagnostic tool to establish Growth Hormone reserve in routine practice.
MedDRA version: 8.1 Level: LLT Classification code 10005573 Term: Blood growth hormone decreased
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: Catapresan
Pharmaceutical Form: Solution for injection

Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: (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.
Primary end point(s): Primary study endpoints

• Pharmacokinetics of clonidine following oral administration
• Growth hormone response following oral administration of clonidine
• Cortisol response following oral administration of clonidine
• Sedation depth following clonidine oral administration, measured with modified Ramsay Sedation Scale
• Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters (Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, Transcutaneous oxygen saturation) following oral administration of clonidine

Secondary study endpoints

• Basal ACTH
• Heart rate variability
• QTc times before and after clonidine administration
