Filter by:The goals of this single site trial are to study the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of LUM-201 and effects of LUM-201 administration on growth hormone release over time in children with idiopathic pediatric growth hormone deficiency (PGHD).
This research study will find out if a new growth hormone stimulation test is safe and works as well as other tests to diagnose growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in children. The stimulation test will use a new growth hormone stimulating substance called macimorelin. By now, only adults in the USA can get this new stimulation test. The results of this study are expected to help children and teenagers with suspected GHD to get the macimorelin stimulation test. The macimorelin test will be compared to a clonidine and an arginine test. Both are known standard stimulation tests. Altogether two macimorelin tests are planned to be performed in the study, to show how repeatable macimorelin tests results are (under a set of similar conditions).
During the first 26 weeks of the trial, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive TransCon PTH and one group will receive placebo. All subjects will start with a fixed dose of study drug and will be individually and progressively titrated to an optimal dose over a 10 week period, followed by an individualized dosing period up to 16 weeks. TransCon PTH or placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled injection pen. Neither trial participants nor their doctors will know who has been assigned to each group. After the 26 weeks, participants will continue in the trial as part of a long-term extension study. During the extension, all participants will receive TransCon PTH, with the dose adjusted to their individual needs. This is a global trial that will be conducted in, but not limited to, the United States, Canada, Germany, and Denmark.
This is a multi-national trial. The goals of the trial are to study LUM-201 as a possible treatment for Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (PGHD) and investigate a predictive enrichment marker (PEM) strategy to select subjects likely to respond to therapy with LUM-201.
Trial of imaging guided intra-ovarian injection to improve ovarian function in clinical settings of Premature Ovarian Failure, Perimenopausal and /or early postmenopausal symptomatology and related hormonal deficiencies. The study will compare the effectiveness of autologous Platelet Rich Plasma alone versus Stromal Vascular Fraction (tSVF and/or cellular stromal vascular fraction (cSVF) in combination with Platelet Rich Plasma as regards efficacy and duration of ovarian reactivation in women with acquired Premature Ovarian Failure, Menopausal, and Perimenopausal women.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of endocrine changes and their correction on survival and organ function in heart and lung transplant recipients. This study also features an investigation of the hormone levels and hormonal replacement therapy of the donors to study its role in the function of the transplanted hearts and lungs. Thyroid hormones (TSH, thyroxine, tri-iodothyronine), cortisol and the antidiuretic hormone will be studied. The former two hormone levels will be defined in the recipients just before transplantation and three days later. In the case of the donors all three hormones will be recorded at the time of the explantation. The investigators would like to record the hormonal replacement therapy in all our patients as well to see it's effect on survival and on the transplanted organ function. After the transplantation during the hospital stays all the important hemodynamic parameters, laboratory parameters, the result of the medical imagings, the medication, the length of ICU and hospital stay and the complications were recorded. Recipients will be followed for five years. Organ function will be assessed every three month for a year, after than every six month for further four years. Investigator would like to record the result of the cardiac echocardiography, spirometries, imaging, and complications. Our purpose is to compare these results against the endocrine disorders and the replacement therapy.
This trial studies how well sleep and physical activity interventions work in increasing the physical activity of overweight or obese and sedentary African Americans. Sleep and physical activity interventions may help to increase physical activity among overweight and obese African American adults who do not get enough exercise.
During the first four weeks of the trial, participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: three groups will receive fixed doses of TransCon PTH and one group will receive placebo. TransCon PTH or placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection using a pre-filled injection pen. Neither trial participants nor their doctors will know who has been assigned to each group. After the four weeks, participants will continue in the trial as part of a long-term extension study. During the extension, all participants will receive TransCon PTH, with the dose adjusted to their individual needs. This is a global trial that will be conducted in, but not limited to, the United States, Canada, Germany, Denmark, and Norway.
In this prospective study the investigators want to measure the serum level changes of the thyroid hormones (thyroid-stimulating hormone, reverse triiodothyronine, serum free T4), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), testosterone and sexual hormone binding protein (SHBG) in adults undergoing cardiac surgery and search for correlations different psychosocial factors and analyze the influence on the survival and the length of ICU/hospital stay.
Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD) is a recognized clinical entity but several barriers concerning patient-clinician communication, inadequate patients' awareness of the disease, low perceived benefit of replacement therapy and poor compliance still remains. The overall goal of the study is to improve AGHD management through a Smartphone app (MAGHD App: Manage Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency) integrated with a software framework able to merge patients daily data on physical activity, quality of life (QoL), and well-being with clinical data collected in institutional databases. The target population consists of 100 patients with a previous diagnosis of AGHD, whether in treatment with growth hormone or not. In a prospective 24 months study, MAGHD App will be developed and connected to MAGHD Framework. This system will allow to integrate: 1) Physical Activity Data collected by wearable devices, 2) Patient Related Outcomes Data, periodically inserted by the patients through MAGHD App in response to questions extrapolated from validated questionnaires, 3) HCP Data registered in clinical databases and including medical history, biochemical and radiological examination. Data will converge in MAGHD Framework where they will be analyzed and used to create reports visible to patients (in MAGHD App) and clinicians (by a monitoring dashboard). The results are expected to positively influence AGHD management by involving patients in care process and giving clinicians a useful tool for clinical practice.
