Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

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.

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

23 years to 79 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

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

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 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)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 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
  • Patients with a total Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) score greater than 25
  • Females who are pregnant, breast-feeding or intend to become pregnant or are not using adequate contraceptive methods (adequate contraceptive measures as required by local law or practice)
  • Acute severe illness associated with weight loss in the last 6 months (defined as a loss of more than 5.0% total body weight)
  • Active Cushings syndrome within the last 24 months
  • Subject with overt diabetes mellitus
  • Previous participation in this study

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.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

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.
March 1, 2014

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.
