Growth Hormone Deficiency Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Blinded Placebo Controlled Single Ascending Dose Phase 1 for Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics After Subcutaneous Administration of VRS-317 in Adults With Growth Hormone Deficiency
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

Primary | Safety and Tolerability of single dose of VRS-317 | This study will evaluate the differences between VRS-317 dose levels and placebo for adverse events. Summaries will be provided for each dose cohort and for the combined dose cohorts including the number of patients with adverse events. All subjects who receive at least one dose of VRS-317 or placebo will be included in the safety analysis. Summaries of all adverse events (AEs)and serious adverse events (SAEs)will be classified according to severity and relationship to study drug. | 30 days | Yes |
Secondary | Determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of VRS-317 administered SC | Parameters Pharmacokinetic (PK)parameters are determined from WinNonLin analysis using a one compartment model.
