Filter by:A Phase 2, open-label dose-finding safety study of individualized monthly VRS-317 dosing for five months in adults with GHD.
The aim of this study is to assess the developmental patterns of lung function in children affected by growth hormone deficiency after one year of GH therapy.The assessment by specific questionnaires of quality of life and of parental stress index.Parameters will be evaluated at the time of the diagnosis and after 12 months of GH therapy.
The trial will consist of three stages: 1) a 30 day Phase 2 PK and PD evaluation of somavaratan, 2) an optional Phase 2 Extension and 3) a 12 month Phase 3 safety and efficacy stage. Upon completion of the PK/PD stage, the PK/PD profiles for the GHD children in this study will be compared to the PK/PD profiles for the GHD children treated in the Western study Phase 1b/2a study (Protocol 12VR2) and identify the somavaratan dose to be used in the Phase 3 stage in Japan. The Phase 3 stage will continue dosing for 12 months to obtain safety and efficacy data on 48 subjects.
This study assesses the safety and tolerability of weekly TV-1106 compared to daily rhGH in adults with GHD who have previously been treated with rhGH.
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 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 study evaluates the safety and efficiency of Pegylated Somatropin (PEG Somatropin) Injection in the treatment of endogenous growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in the broad population of children. Half of participants will receive the high dose, while the other half will receive the low dose.
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.
Evaluation of PREPL activity in healthy controls and known or possible PREPL deficient patients
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.
