Filter by:It is a nutraceutical system, consisting of oral tablet and an oral spray called Alpha GPC, which helps your body naturally restore the HGH levels.
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.
Data about the impact of growth hormone treatment on insulin sensitivity in children are quite controversial, due to the different surrogate indexes that have been used, like Homa-IR, QUICKI, ISI-Matsuda or adipokine levels. The investigators aimed to evaluate insulin sensitivity through the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, considered the gold standard technique, in children affected by growth hormone deficiency and to compare the M-value with the most commonly used surrogate indexes of insulin sensitivity.
Principal objective : Validation of a handy biochemical parameter, plasma concentration of Asymmetric DimethylArginine (ADMA), based on a recognize biochemical parameter, the dilation of the brachial artery, at ultrasound examination, after the deflation of a cushion to evaluate artery dysfunction (vascular suffering) in growth diseases, growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) Secondary objectives: - Comparison of ADMA plasma concentrations with dose of matched healthy control children - Investigation of the mechanisms of arterial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress and insulin resistance.
A multicenter, phase 3, long-term extension trial of TransCon hGH administered once-weekly in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) who previously participated in a phase 3 TransCon hGH trial. Approximately 300 children (males and females) with GHD will be included. All study participants will receive TransCon hGH. This is a global trial that will be conducted in, but not limited to, the United States, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Armenia, Russia and Australia.
This is a randomized, open-label, active controlled, Phase 2 study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of weekly and semi-monthly doses of GX-H9 in the treatment of Paediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (PGHD) as compared to the standard of care daily rhGH treatment.
A 26 week trial of TransCon hGH, a long-acting growth hormone product, administered once-a-week. Approximately 150 children (males and females) with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) will be included. All study participants will receive TransCon hGH. This is a global trial that will be conducted in, but not limited to, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
1. To further evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEG-Somatropin in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency for a relatively long period 2. To explore the factors influencing the efficacy of PEG-Somatropin and to establish the height prediction model based on Chinese children with short stature, and to provide the basis and guidance for standard and reasonable long-term clinical application of PEG-Somatropin.
Assessment of long-term effectiveness of ZOMACTON in treatment of Growth Hormone Deficiency or growth retardation due to Ullrich-Turner Syndrome and assessment of compliance and adherence, optionally with the aid of an electronic app or patient diary.
To Evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEG Somatropin in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency, as well as to study the dosage of PEG Somatropin.
