Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate long-term treatment with Zomacton® for pituitary short stature in children with insufficient growth hormone production and/or short stature caused by Turner syndrome.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and tolerability of up to five doses of VRS-317 in Adult Growth Hormone Deficient patients. - Patients will be evaluated for evidence of activity of VRS-317 by measurement of changes from baseline in insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) and binding protein (IGFBP-3), and bone turnover (bone alkaline phosphatase) - Descriptive pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters (IGF-I and IGFBP-3) will be determined by standard model independent methods based on the plasma concentration-time data of each subject. These parameters include: Cmax, Tmax, AUCavg, AUC0-inf, and t1/2. - The purpose is to determine the appropriate dose of VRS-317 to maintain a normal range (for appropriate age/gender) for IGF-I levels in adult patients for up to one month after administration of a single dose
To assess the influence of exogenous GH (growth hormone) administration on adipocyte endocrine function (leptin, adiponectin, and resistin) and on ghrelin secretion in children with delayed growth due to GH deficiency. Study hypothesis: hormones produced by the adipocyte (leptin, adiponectin, and resistin) and ghrelin may exert a certain control on production of GH and IGF-I, and GH may in turn have a regulatory effect on such hormones.
The purpose of the multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled phase II study is to determine whether pegylated recombinant human growth hormone is effective in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency.
This study is conducted in Europe. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact on daily life for children new to using a growth hormone injection device.
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.
This study investigates the pharmacokinetic profile (PK) and pharmacodynamic response (PD) of three different doses of ACP-001 given once-a-week compared to one dose-level of an approved daily human growth hormone product over a period of 4 weeks (4 weekly administrations versus 28 daily administrations).
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this study is to compare the easiness of use of Norditropin NordiFlex® device to the device previously used by patients or parents.
This is an open-label, prospective, multicentric, non-comparative, non-randomized Phase IV interventional study in which subjects pre-diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) were treated for 4 weeks with Saizen to compare the response between GHD children born appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and those born small for gestation age (SGA) after 4 weeks of Saizen therapy.
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.
