Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
IGF-1 and a phosphorylated product of the mTORC pathway (p70S6K) will be assessed in both groups to explore the mTORC signaling pathway, which is thought to be related to clinical improvement in previous studies.
