Diagnosing Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency
Growth Hormone DeficiencyThe purpose of this study was to validate the growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) plus arginine (GHRH+arg) stimulation test and it´s cut-off limits for diagnosis of adult growth hormone deficiency using the growth hormone (GH) Immulite 2000 Xpi assay calibrated against the IS 98/574 from the World Health Organization. A specific aim was to study the effect of gender and age on the peak GH response in the GHRH+arg test
Safety and Efficacy Study of MOD-4023 to Treat Children With Growth Hormone Deficiency
Growth Hormone DeficiencyTreatment of children with growth failure due to growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Primary • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly MOD-4023 administration compared to daily Genotropin® administration in Japanese pre-pubertal children with GHD. Secondary • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profiles of three different doses of MOD-4023 in Japanese pre-pubertal children with GHD.
A Follow-up Study to Examine the Presence of Anti-human Growth Hormone Antibodies Following a Study...
Idiopathic Growth Hormone DeficiencyThis is a follow-up study of patients, treated with one daily dose of Zomacton or one daily dose of Genotropin in the previously completed FE 999905 CS07 trial, who had presence of anti-hGH antibodies at any post-dosing visit during the 12-month treatment period. No investigational medicinal product will be administered in connection with this follow-up study. Eligible patients will attend one visit in this follow-up study.
Growth Hormone and Glucose Metabolism
Growth Hormone DeficiencyThe aim of the study is to investigate changes in insulin sensitivity and ß-cell function after 24 and 48 weeks of low-dose growth hormone (GH) therapy in adult patients with severe GH deficiency using highly standardized techniques. Insulin sensitivity was estimated using euglycemic, hyperinsulinemic clamps, while insulin secretion and hepatic insulin clearance were determined by changes in insulin and C-peptide levels during hyperglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps with consecutive intravenous (i.v.) L-arginine stimulation tests. Moreover, the researchers investigated changes in body composition, lipolysis and cardiovascular risk markers. Furthermore, in order to verify the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of GH-induced insulin resistance and the GH-induced improvement in insulin resistance under long term treatment, the researchers intend to establish changes in intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) in patients with GH deficiency by magnetic resonance (MR)-spectroscopy before and during GH-treatment and to correlate IMCL with insulin resistance, insulin secretion and insulin clearance. Finally, the researchers aim to justify the effect of GH on adiponectin secretion as well as on the 11-ß hydroxylase activity.
