Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 50 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Childhood or adult onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD)
  • GHD evidenced by two stimulation tests
  • Duration of GHD at least 5 years
  • Other hormone deficiencies associated with growth hormone deficiency

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy or pregnancy desired during the suggested duration of the study
  • Personal history of colonic polyp or family history of colonic polyposis
  • Known insulin-dependent or non-insulin-dependent diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease, left ventricular hypertrophy from other aetiology, recent auricular or ventricular arrhythmia, history of vascularisation by aortocoronary bypass significative mitral or aortic valvular disease, preexcitation syndrome, auriculoventricular conduction delay, bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome, left ventricular mass interfering treatment
  • BMI (Body Mass Index) at least 30
  • Growth hormone treatment during the 24 months prior to inclusion, history of treatment with extractive pituitary growth hormone, allergy or suspected allergy to somatropin therapy
  • Patient who has participated in a different clinical study within the past two months

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Drug: placebo
Initial dosage 0.5 IU/day, injected subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily. Dosage will be adjusted monthly depending on clinical safety up to a maximum dose of 3 IU/day. Subjects are treated for six months. After treatment in the randomised trial period, placebo will be discontinued.
Experimental: Somatropin
Drug: somatropin
Initial dosage 0.5 IU/day, injected subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily. Dosage will be adjusted monthly depending on clinical safety up to a maximum dose of 3 IU/day. Subjects are treated for six months (randomised trial period) followed by an 12-month open-label trial period with somatropin.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Left ventricular mass measured with ultrasonography

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Ventricular function indices assessed by cardiac ultrasonography
Bone mineral density and body composition assessed by DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry)
Quality of life using EQ5D (European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions) scales
IGF-I (Insulin-Like Growth Factor I) concentration

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
