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.

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.
