Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial with an open-label extension to evaluate the efficacy of growth hormone (GH) on cognitive functions of retired professional football players with growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
12 adult hypopituitary patients with newly diagnosed Growth hormone (GH)-deficiency will be studied two times. The first examinations will be performed shortly after time of diagnose before initiation of exogenous GH treatment, where each subject will receive a single intravenous bolus of 0.5 mg GH. The examination day will be repeated after prolonged GH replacement therapy (>3 month after treatment initiation).
This study will examine adipose tissue inflammation and adipokine expression and serum markers of inflammation and adipokine levels in patients with growth hormone (GH) deficiency before and after treatment.
The goal of this study is to characterize the microbiome and metabolomics of children with Growth Hormone (GH) deficiency, prior GH treatment initiation and compare it to healthy children
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.
In this study, the investigators will examine the effect of therapy with the Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog tesamorelin on body composition in patients with HIV lipodystrophy and central adiposity. This study is a single arm prospective study of tesamorelin therapy of patients with HIV lipodystrophy. Subjects will do body composition testing, adipose tissue biopsy, metabolic rate measurements and insulin sensitivity assessment before, 6 and 12 months after daily injections of tesamorelin 2 mg by subcutaneous injection.
In order to examine the effect of GH on adipose tissue inflammation, this study will examine adipose tissue and serum inflammation in patients with GH deficiency before and after GH therapy. The investigators will also obtain serum samples before and after treatment for adipokines, inflammatory markers and examine macrophages in circulation with regard to their inflammatory state. The investigators will also obtain adipose tissue biopsies from healthy subjects matched to the growth hormone deficiency (GHD) subjects. Adipose tissue specimens will be analyzed for adipose tissue morphology, adipocyte size, adipokine gene expression, and adipose tissue macrophage number.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEG Somatropin Injection in the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency, as well as to study the feasibility of extending the dosing intervals (once per two weeks) of PEG Somatropin Injection.
Analysis of the short-and long-term impact of recombinant growth hormone on attention deficit and hyperactivity charachteristics in children and adolescents. This will be examined in children prior to GH therapy and 3, 6 and 12 months during treatment, by filling validated questionnaires (Vanderbilt rating scales) evaluating ADHD. Data will be compared to healthy control group.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of PEG Somatropin Injection (Jintrolong®) in the treatment of short stature due to endogenous growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in the broad of population of children.
