    Growth Hormone and/or Rosiglitazone for HIV-Associated Increased Abdominal Fat and Insulin Resistance

    NCT00130286

    Mar 2005 to Aug 2010

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The purpose of the study is to determine if the combination of recombinant human growth hormone plus rosiglitazone (an insulin-sensitizing drug) is safe and more effective than either drug alone (or no active therapy) for the treatment of fat accumulation in people with HIV infection and insulin resistance.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Change in Insulin Sensitivity

    Time frame · 12 weeks

    Registry description

    Change in insulin sensitivity value from baseline to week 12 by frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test This assessment was only conducted at baseline and week 12; therefore the change reflects the difference between these two time points.

Secondary outcomes(2)
  1. Change in Visceral Adipose Tissue Volume

    Time frame · 12 weeks

    Registry description

    Change in visceral adipose tissue volume from baseline to week 12 measured by whole body MRI Data are presented only for subjects who had MRI scans done at both time points.

  2. Change in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Volume

    Time frame · 12 weeks

    Registry description

    Change in subcutaneous adipose tissue volume from baseline to week 12 by whole body MRI Data are presented only for subjects who had MRI scans done at both time points.
