Active clinical trials for "Dwarfism, Pituitary"

This study investigates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile (PK), and pharmacodynamic response (PD) of three different doses of ACP-001 given once-a-week compared to one dose-level of an approved daily human growth hormone product over a period of 4 weeks (4 weekly administrations versus 28 daily administrations) in adults with Growth Hormone Deficiency.

The purpose of this study is to obtain psychological response and user preference information on the use of the T jet® device versus the traditional subcutaneous injection administration of Tev Tropin®. This study will compare subject-reported injection anxiety immediately before the administration of each dose of Tev-Tropin® between a needle-syringe injection method and a needle-free injection method (T-jet®)

The purpose of this study is to see if giving growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) to subjects with growth hormone deficiency effects cardiovascular risk factors differently.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the acceptance of the new liquid growth hormone formulation, somatropin, in children with growth hormone deficiency.

The aim of this study is to investigate the potential benefits of the correction of growth hormone (GH) deficiency with GH replacement therapy in patients with chronic heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

A six month study of ACP-001, a long-acting growth hormone product, versus standard human growth hormone therapy. ACP-001 will be given once-a-week, standard human growth hormone (hGH) will be given on a daily basis. The primary aim is to demonstrate safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics over a period of six months. A secondary objective is the comparison of height velocity (HV) of the ACP-001 treated groups to the daily hGH treatment group.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect of TV-1106.

This trial is conducted in Europe and Asia. The aim of the trial is to compare the safety of once weekly dosing of somapacitan (administered with an investigational pen) with daily Norditropin® FlexPro® (somatropin delivered within a prefilled pen) for 26 weeks in previously human growth hormone (hGH) treated adults with growth hormone deficiency.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, availability and distribution in the body of once-weekly long-acting growth hormone (NNC0195-0092, somapacitan) compared to once daily Norditropin NordiFlex® in adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

Rationale: Abnormally low and high levels of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are both associated with increased metabolic risk. Since (U-shaped) associations of IGF-I, within the normal range, have also been found with cardiovascular risk factors and disease in the general population, it would be interesting to investigate if this association can also be found in growth hormone deficient (GHD) adults treated with Growth Hormone (GH). This could be of interest for endocrinologists prescribing GH in clinical practice because strict dosing may become even more important. Next to that, scientific evidence for clinical practice is wanted. Objective: Next to cardiovascular risk factors (main objectives: body composition and lipid profile; secondary objectives: remainder) we investigate the effect on glucose metabolism, physical performance, and neuropsychological functioning of different levels of IGF-I in GH treated GHD men and women. Study design: Open-label randomized trial. Study population: At least 32 subjects, both childhood as adult onset GHD men and women, receiving GH treatment for at least one year, with an age between 20 and 65 years. Intervention: At entry subjects are already receiving GH treatment according to general clinical practice, and are expected to demonstrate an IGF-I concentration of 0 - 1 SD score (SDS) (normal dose). The group of men and group of women will be randomized to receive either a decrease of their regular dose of GH treatment (IGF-I target level of -2 - -1 SDS) (low dose), or an increase of their regular dose, (IGF-I target level of 1 - 2 SDS) (high dose) for at least 24 weeks.
