Trial Outcomes & Findings for Predictive Markers in Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) and Turner Syndrome (TS) Children Treated With SAIZEN® (NCT NCT00256126)

NCT ID: NCT00256126

Last Updated: 2018-06-26

Results Overview

IGF-1 SDS was calculated using the Elmlinger reference method. Change in within subject IGF-1 levels (standard deviation scores) at Month 1 from Baseline was assessed. Descriptive statistics were determined for the Baseline and Month 1 assessments, and also for the level of change between these two assessments. If either the Baseline or Month 1 IGF-1 level was missing, then the within-subject change in IGF-1 was assumed to be missing.

Measure
Turner Syndrome (TS)
Subjects with TS were administered with SAIZEN® as subcutaneous injection at a dose of 0.050 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight per day (within the recommended dosage 0.045-0.050 mg/kg body weight) for a period of 1 month.
Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD)
Subjects with GHD were administered with SAIZEN® as subcutaneous injection at a dose of 0.035 mg/kg of body weight per day (within the recommended dosage 0.025-0.035 mg/kg body weight) for a period of 1 month.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Month 1

Population: The Intention to Treat (ITT) population included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study medication. Here "Overall Number of Subjects Analyzed" signifies those subjects who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

IGF-1 SDS was calculated using the Elmlinger reference method. Change in within subject IGF-1 levels (standard deviation scores) at Month 1 from Baseline was assessed. Descriptive statistics were determined for the Baseline and Month 1 assessments, and also for the level of change between these two assessments. If either the Baseline or Month 1 IGF-1 level was missing, then the within-subject change in IGF-1 was assumed to be missing.

HOMA-IR is used to assess insulin resistance and calculated by an empirical mathematical formula based on fasting plasma glucose and fasting plasma insulin levels. HOMA-IR = fasting plasma insulin (picomole/liter \[pmol/L\]) \* fasting plasma glucose (millimole/liter \[mmol/L\]) divided by 22.5.
