Clinical Trial Summary

This study examines the effects of recombinant insulin like growth factor - I on body composition, glucose homeostasis, and lipids, in adults with HIV infection and signs of metabolic disease.


Clinical Trial Description

The main objectives of this study are the following:

1. Determine the effect of recombinant human insulin like growth factor-I (rhIGF-I) (generic: mecasermin) on subcutaneous adiposity in patients with HIV lipodystrophy syndrome.

2. Determine the effects of rhIGF-I on glucose homeostasis and lipids in patients with HIV lipodystrophy.

3. Determine the effects of rhIGF-I on apoptosis, mitochondria, and inflammation, in adipose tissue obtained from patients with HIV lipodystrophy. ;
