    Effects of Growth Hormone and IGF-1 on Anabolic Signals and Stem Cell Recruitment in Human Skeletal Muscle

    NCT03878992

    30 Apr 2019 to est. 31 Dec 2021

Registry summary

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

12 adult hypopituitary patients with newly diagnosed Growth hormone (GH)-deficiency will be studied two times. The first examinations will be performed shortly after time of diagnose before initiation of exogenous GH treatment, where each subject will receive a single intravenous bolus of 0.5 mg GH. The examination day will be repeated after prolonged GH replacement therapy (\>3 month after treatment initiation).

Interventions

  • Genotropin miniquick 0.5 mg, injectionDrug

Arms1

  • Other

    GHD

    GHD patients will be studied two times - one time before initiation of GH replacement therapy and one time following three months of GH replacement therapy. The two trial days are identical

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Phosphorylation of Akt in muscle biopsies

    Time frame · Analyses will be performed through study completion, an expected average of 1.5 years

    Registry description

    Muscle biopsies will be analysed for phosphorylation of Akt

Secondary outcomes(7)
  1. Satellite cell count

    Time frame · Analyses will be performed through study completion, an expected average of 1.5 year

    Registry description

    The number of Satellite cells per muscle fiber will be analysed on muscle cross sections from muscle biopsies

  2. Satellite cell proliferation and differentiation in cell culture

    Time frame · Analyses will be performed through study completion, an expected average of 1.5 year

    evaluated through blood samples

  7. Urea turnover rate

    Time frame · Analyses will be performed through study completion, an expected average of 1.5 year

    Registry description

    evaluated by blood samples and urin collection
