Filter by:This trial is conducted in Europe and Asia. The aim of the trial is to compare the safety of once weekly dosing of somapacitan (administered with an investigational pen) with daily Norditropin® FlexPro® (somatropin delivered within a prefilled pen) for 26 weeks in previously human growth hormone (hGH) treated adults with growth hormone deficiency.
This is a Phase IV, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study of somatropin (rDNA origin) (Nutropin AQ v1.1) in pre-pubertal children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) naïve to prior recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment. The study is designed to characterize the immunogenicity profile of somatropin (rDNA origin) injection when administered daily subcutaneously for 12 months. The clinical impact of immunogenicity will also be assessed.
This study is conducted globally. The purpose is to demonstrate the efficacy of once weekly dosing of NNC0195-0092 (somapacitan) compared to placebo and once-daily dosing of somatropin (human growth hormone, hGH) after 35 weeks of treatment in adults with growth hormone deficiency.
This is a follow-up study of patients, treated with one daily dose of Zomacton or one daily dose of Genotropin in the previously completed FE 999905 CS07 trial, who had presence of anti-hGH antibodies at any post-dosing visit during the 12-month treatment period. No investigational medicinal product will be administered in connection with this follow-up study. Eligible patients will attend one visit in this follow-up study.
Cortisol is a hormone critical for survival in times of stress. Currently most measurements are done with blood samples. The hypothesis of this study is cortisol measured from saliva using mass spectrometry can be used to replace measurements by blood.
People with type 1 diabetes need regular insulin injections or continuous delivery of insulin using a pump. Keeping blood sugars in the normal range is known to reduce long term complications. However, achieving treatment goals can be very difficult due to the risk of low glucose levels (hypoglycaemia). One solution is to use a system where the amount of insulin injected closely matches the blood sugar levels on a continuous basis. This can be achieved by what is known as a "closed loop system" where a small glucose sensor placed under the skin communicates with a computer containing an algorithm that drives a subcutaneous insulin pump. Previous studies conducted under carefully controlled clinical research facility environment, in Cambridge, United Kingdom, as well as several other centres have shown that closed-loop glucose control is superior to usual insulin pump therapy. The next logical step in the development pathway is to test closed loop systems in the home environment. An essential requirement for conducting closed-loop studies outside clinical research facility is an automated system where wireless data transmission takes place between the glucose sensor and insulin pump. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of automated overnight closed-loop, in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, using a novel system which has greatest potential for use in the home setting. The study will take place at a clinical research facility on two occasions, using a standardised protocol. The performance of the closed-loop system will be evaluated on day 1 of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor life as compared to on days 3 to 4 of sensor life. Data and experience gained from this study will be used for further refinements and development of the system for future home use.
Insulin resistance is closely associated with apparition of type 2 diabetes mellitus; it is an independent risk factor and predicts future cardiovascular events. Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp is a validated method to assessment of insulin resistance and It is also the gold standard technique. However, the complexity and length of this technique render it unsuitable for routine clinical use. In this study, the investigators use a new technique to provide precise, objective, fast and automated quantification of insulin resistance with camera SPECT. They compare the results with those of the measurement of hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp in population with or without insulin resistance. The proposed study is to validate this new non-invasive imaging technique for evaluation of insulin resistance in patients with or without insulin resistance with a comparison with hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp.
The objective of this study is to examine ghrelin, amylin, glucagon and glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 responses to a test meal in lean and obese individuals.
This study is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of the study is to assess the minimal important difference (MID) of the TRIM-AGHD.
This trial is conducted in Europe and Asia. The aim of the trial is to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of a single dose of long-acting growth hormone (NNC0195-0092, somapacitan) compared to daily dosing of Norditropin® SimpleXx® (somatropin) in children with growth hormone deficiency.
