Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment Of Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency After Traumatic Brain Injury (NCT NCT00555009)

NCT ID: NCT00555009

Last Updated: 2010-06-02

Results Overview

CogState™: 7 tasks: Detection (Part A); Identification; One back working memory; Monitoring; One card learning; Prediction; Detection (Part B). Detection, Identification, Monitoring score range: 2 (worse) to 5 (best); One back working memory/one card learning score range: 0 (worse) to 1.57 (best); Prediction score range: 0 (worse) to 100 (best). Composite change score=average of cognitive change scores for each task at each postdrug assessment; total possible score: -300 to 300. Change=change from baseline (average of 2 postdose assessments). Positive composite score=improved performance.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 36

Population: Due to poor recruitment, the study was terminated early; therefore efficacy analyses were not completed.

CogState™: 7 tasks: Detection (Part A); Identification; One back working memory; Monitoring; One card learning; Prediction; Detection (Part B). Detection, Identification, Monitoring score range: 2 (worse) to 5 (best); One back working memory/one card learning score range: 0 (worse) to 1.57 (best); Prediction score range: 0 (worse) to 100 (best). Composite change score=average of cognitive change scores for each task at each postdrug assessment; total possible score: -300 to 300. Change=change from baseline (average of 2 postdose assessments). Positive composite score=improved performance.

The GOS is widely used for assessing outcome after head injury and non-traumatic acute brain insults and is performed by a physician. The GOS-E uses eight points to assess disability and handicap. The GOS-E focuses on how the injury has affected functioning in major areas of life rather than on the particular deficits and symptoms caused by injury. The overall score ranges from 1-8; 1=Death and 8=Upper Good Recovery

A subject administered scale assessing general quality of life. A subject administered score, scale, direction of scale. The SF-36 consists of 36 questions covering the following eight health domains (subscales): Physical Functioning, Bodily Pain, Role Limitations Due to Physical Problems, Role Limitations Due to Emotional Problems, General Health Perceptions, Mental Health, Social Function, Vitality.

The AGHDA is a quality of life subject-administered questionnaire that is condition-specific and comprises of 25 'Yes' or 'No' statements covering 6 dimensions - mobility, pain, energy, sleep, emotional reactions and social isolation. The AGHDA total score change from Baseline values is calculated as the difference between the total score at Visit 6 (Week 36), and the total score at Baseline.

The cardiovascular risk parameters (low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol and fasting triglycerides) was measured at all visits (Weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, and 36).
