Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of rhIGF-1 on Bone Metabolism in Adolescent Girls With Anorexia Nervosa (NCT NCT00720122)

NCT ID: NCT00720122

Last Updated: 2021-11-18

Results Overview

Change in spine bone density over 6 months (6month data- baseline data). Bone density at the spine was assessed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry at baseline and 6 months and the change in bone density over these 6 months was calculated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: The study participants analyzed were those that completed the first 6 months of the study and had a bone density performed at the baseline visit and then again at the 6 month visit as per protocol.

Change in spine bone density over 6 months (6month data- baseline data). Bone density at the spine was assessed using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry at baseline and 6 months and the change in bone density over these 6 months was calculated.
