Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of SomatoKine (Iplex)Recombinant Human Insulin-like Growth Factor-1/Recombinant Human Insulin-like Growth Factor-binding Protein-3 (rhIGF-I/rhIGFBP-3) in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) (NCT NCT00233519)

NCT ID: NCT00233519

Last Updated: 2012-06-25

Results Overview

Safety and tolerability was measured via interval laboratory studies,electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, ultrasounds of the abdomen and pelvis, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) studies, chest and neck x-rays, and serial physical examinations. The participants had six inpatient evaluations at the University of Rochester General Clinical Research Center (Weeks 0, 8, 16, 24, 28, and 40) and nine outpatient evaluations. Patients also completed side effects diaries to record any adverse events in the interval time between inpatient and outpatient evaluations.
