Clinical Trial Summary

This study tested whether a dose regimen of growth hormone based on body weight is equivalent or better than starting with a low dose and gradually increasing the dose according to individual patient needs. Efficacy of the two regimens were assessed from changes in body fat measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning, performed at the beginning of the study and at the completion of the study eight months later.


Clinical Trial Description

Dose regimen of growth hormone based on weight: Starting dose was 4.0 micrograms/kg/day for four months, then increased to 8 micrograms/kg/day for two months, and then increased to 12 micrograms/kg/day for a further two months (eight months in total).

Dose regimen of growth hormone based on individual patient needs: Starting dose was 200 micrograms/day, then increased by 200 micrograms/day every two months for an additional six months (eight months in total) as needed for optimal treatment results. ;
