  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Adult patients with a diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD), naïve to treatment currently and for at least 6 months prior, who are beginning a new prescription treatment for their GHD. Patients will be selected by sites as per inclusion and exclusion criteria

Who may be able to join

  • Able to speak read and write English
  • GHD (Growth Hormone Deficiency) treatment naïve which is defined as not being on a prescription treatment for their GHD currently and for at least 6 months
  • Beginning a new prescription GHD treatment and expected to be on this treatment for GHD for a minimum of 6 months
  • GHD of either one of the following criteria: a) Adult onset: subjects who have GHD, either alone or associated with multiple hormone deficiencies (hypopituitarism), as a result of pituitary disease, hypothalamic disease, surgery, radiation therapy, or traumatic brain injury (TBI), b) Childhood Onset: Subjects who were growth hormone deficient during childhood as a result of congenital, genetic, acquired, or idiopathic causes
  • Confirmed diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (if a subject satisfies any one of the three following criteria): a) For the insulin tolerance test (ITT) or glucagon test both performed within the last five years: the validated cut-off for GHD in adults is a peak GH response of below 3.0 ng/mL (3 microg/L), b) For growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) +Arginine test performed within the last five years: for those subjects with a body mass index (BMI) below 25 kg/m^2, a peak GH below 11 ng/mL (microg /L); for BMI 25-30 kg/m^2, a peak GH below 8 ng/mL (8 microg/L); for BMI above 30 kg/m^2, a peak GH below 4 ng/mL 341 (4 microg/L ), c) Three or more pituitary hormone deficiencies at screening
  • Informed consent obtained before any study-related activities. (Study-related activities are any procedure related to recording of data according to the protocol)

Who cannot join

  • Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or cooperation
  • Patients who have been on a prescription medication for treatment of GHD in past 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Growth Hormone Disorder and Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in CGI (Clinician Global Impression Scale) (time frame: After the physician scheduled visits closest to week 8 and week 26 after initiation of treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jan 2017.
