Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of 6 months of treatment with TV-1106 compared with placebo on body fat composition.
This study evaluates the safety and efficiency of Pegylated Somatropin (PEG Somatropin) Injection in the treatment of endogenous growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in the broad of population of children.
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 will recruit healthy controls (who have normal GH production and growth hormone levels) and patients identified as having GHD, who are deemed eligible for GH replacement therapy according to NICE guidelines. The patients recruited will have been identified as starting on GH by their referring clinicians and a decision made on their replacement therapy prior to their potential enrollment in the study. The study, or its research team, will have no influence on the decision as to whether a patient will start on GH, or on which of the many GH formulations that the patients receives. The proposed study is an observational study to determine how GH affects the plasma levels of Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) in response to treatment; and whether the change in FGF21 mirrors the improvement in body composition/fat deposition. FGF21 is a metabolic regulator that acts on multiple tissues to coordinate carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and regulate energy balance. We hypothesize that FGF-21 is expressed and secreted from liver and skeletal muscle in humans in response to growth hormone administration and that levels may be reduced in patients with GHD compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, we believe that the beneficial effects of long-term GH replacement on body composition (reduction in visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue and liver fat), on improvement in lipid profiles and on skeletal muscle mitochondrial function involve GH-induced release of FGF21.
The purpose of this study is to support selection of an appropriate safe and efficacious dose for study in further development.
The study is performed to collect long-term data on the treatment adherence and patient's acceptability when Zomacton®10 mg is administered with the Zomajet® Vision X device in patients with a growth hormone deficiency or Turner's syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long term treatment outcomes of Growth Hormone treatment in patients who are prescribed and treated with Genotropin. Also, plan to determine the relationships between clinical status, dosage schedule and response to Genotropin treatment. This study will also contribute to our knowledge of adult Growth Hormone Deficiency, including transition period in Childhood Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency and its treatment.
Rationale: Abnormally low and high levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are both associated with increased metabolic risk. Since (U-shaped) associations of IGF-I, within the normal range, have also been found with cardiovascular risk factors and disease in the general population, it would be interesting to investigate if this association can also be found in growth hormone deficient (GHD) adults treated with Growth Hormone (GH). This could be of interest for endocrinologists prescribing GH in clinical practice because strict dosing may become even more important. Next to that, scientific evidence for clinical practice is wanted. Objective: Next to cardiovascular risk factors (main objectives: body composition and lipid profile; secondary objectives: remainder) we investigate the effect on glucose metabolism, physical performance, and neuropsychological functioning of different levels of IGF-I in GH treated GHD men and women. Study design: Open-label randomized trial. Study population: At least 32 subjects, both childhood as adult onset GHD men and women, receiving GH treatment for at least one year, with an age between 20 and 65 years. Intervention: At entry subjects are already receiving GH treatment according to general clinical practice, and are expected to demonstrate an IGF-I concentration of 0 - 1 SD score (SDS) (normal dose). The group of men and group of women will be randomized to receive either a decrease of their regular dose of GH treatment (IGF-I target level of -2 - -1 SDS) (low dose), or an increase of their regular dose, (IGF-I target level of 1 - 2 SDS) (high dose) for at least 24 weeks.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect of TV-1106.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of ALRN-5281 administered by subcutaneous injection to healthy adult volunteers.
