Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find out if the Glucagon Stimulation Test (GST) is a reliable alternative to the Insulin Tolerance Test (ITT) for diagnosis of Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) and adrenal insufficiency. In some patients the accuracy of the GST for evaluation of adrenal insufficiency is compared to the adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH ) stimulation test.
To assess the immunogenicity of Saizen® solution for injection in adult subjects with documented Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD).
This was a 48-week, open-label, prospective, multicentric, randomised, comparative with parallel control, Phase 4 study to evaluate the effects of Saizen on cardiac function in GHD subjects during the transition phase from childhood to adulthood. The study was designed to evaluate whether recombinant-human growth hormone (r-hGH) treatment also benefits young subjects with GHD. Some trials have already been published on this subject, but they were mainly focused on the bone density.
Convenience and preference for the new Mark VII pen compared to the current Genotropin pen will be assessed using a questionaire. it is expected that the new pen will be preferred or at least no different to the current pen.
This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this observational study is to collect information about the safety and efficacy of Norditropin® long-term treatment of growth hormone deficiency in adults.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonism and renin inhibition on glucose metabolism in humans.
This is an exploratory trial with four cross-over arms measuring the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of growth hormone using two different modes of growth hormone administration (subcutaneous infusion into the abdomen or subcutaneous bolus injection in the thigh) in 8 adult male or female patients with growth hormone deficiency during interval exercise or in supine rest. The order of dosing regimen within the groups and between the groups will be randomised. All patients will go through four different treatment sessions:A/B Single subcutaneous bolus injection, supine rest without/with interval exercise, sessions C/D: Continuous subcutaneous infusion, supine rest without/with interval exercise. Hypotheses: 1) There is day-to-day variation of exogenous growth hormone, 2)Concentration of growth hormone decreases due to exercise compared to supine rest, 3)There is a circadian variation in pharmacokinetics of exogenous growth hormone infused subcutaneously
This is a multicentric, longitudinal, observational study with the prospective follow-up of Adult subjects with Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD) being treated with Saizen, every six months in the first year and then annually. At the request of health authorities, the sponsor has arranged for the follow-up of prescriptions and treated subjects within the scope of this indication.
The aim of the study is to determine the specificity and sensitivity of the combined growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) + Arginine test in healthy volunteers, subjects with highly probable adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) and subjects who were probably free of AGHD.
The primary objective of the trial was to assess the bioequivalence for two concentrations (5.83 mg/mL and 8 mg/mL) of the new r-hGH liquid multidose formulation using the r hGH freeze-dried multidose formulation (Saizen® 8 mg, 8.8 mg/1.51 mL) as reference. Each volunteer received three r hGH treatments, with each treatment being administered as a single subcutaneous dose of 4 mg r-hGH in a randomized sequence with at least one week of wash-out period between successive treatments.
