Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Analog to Improve Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Associated Cardiovascular Risk

Registered Phase 2 interventional trial (completed), with sponsor-posted results. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in individuals with obesity and is a significant threat to public health, because it can lead to impaired liver function and liver failure. Growth hormone is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that helps regulate metabolism and growth. Individuals with obesity, on average, secrete less growth hormone than individuals without obesity. There are data to suggest that growth hormone may help to reduce the amount of fat in the liver, and may also reduce inflamm

Comparative Effectiveness of Empagliflozin in the US

Registered observational trial (active not recruiting). Empagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor, was launched as a treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the U.S. in August 2014. In contrast with several previous cardiovascular outcomes trials, which failed to demonstrate an association with a higher or a lower risk of cardiovascular outcomes associated with members of other recently marketed antidiabetic classes, the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial has shown that patients at high cardiovascular risk randomized to empagliflozin vs. placebo, were associated with a r

Study of Intranasal Octreotide (DP1038) in Healthy Adult Volunteers

Registered Phase 1 interventional trial (completed). The purpose of the study is to investigate the drug octreotide acetate in a new intranasal formulation and compare it to the FDA-approved subcutaneous (SC) injection formulation. The two octreotide acetate formulations will be evaluated following separate administrations for safety and tolerability including any side effects, the speed at which the drug is absorbed and eliminated in the body, and the ability of the drug to lower the levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).

Diagnosing Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency

Registered N/A interventional trial (completed). The purpose of this study was to validate the growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) plus arginine (GHRH+arg) stimulation test and it´s cut-off limits for diagnosis of adult growth hormone deficiency using the growth hormone (GH) Immulite 2000 Xpi assay calibrated against the IS 98/574 from the World Health Organization. A specific aim was to study the effect of gender and age on the peak GH response in the GHRH+arg test

Dehydroepiandrosterone Versus Growth Hormone in Women Undergoing ICSI With Expected Poor Ovarian Response

Registered Phase 3 interventional trial (unknown). 300 women with expected poor ovarian response (POR) undergoing in vitro fertilization or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) will be randomly divided into 2 equal groups using computer generated random numbers. Group 1 will receive Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) 25 mg ( DHEA 25mg, Natrol , USA) t.d.s daily for 12 weeks before starting IVF/ICSI cycle and a placebo similar to growth hormone (GH) daily from day 6 of stimulation until the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) trigger. Group 2 will receive an oral placebo t.d.s. daily for

2. Study to Evaluate the Efficacy/Safety of Bremelanotide in Premenopausal Women With Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder

Registered Phase 3 interventional trial (completed), with sponsor-posted results. A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Trial with an optional Open-label Extension to evaluate the efficacy of bremelanotide (BMT), administered subcutaneously (SC) on an as needed basis for the treatment of HSDD (with or without decreased arousal) in premenopausal females.

Estradiol-Receptor Blockade in Older Men and Women

Registered Phase 1 interventional trial (completed). Repletion of testosterone (Te) in older men drives GH secretion after its aromatization to estradiol (E2), which acts via the estrogen receptor (ER). Conversely, we postulate that estrogen deprivation in postmenopausal women attenuates growth hormone (GH) secretion and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I) production, thus favoring development of metabolic syndrome in men treated with toremifene, a new estrogen antagonist used adjunctively in prostatic cancer

Tesamorelin Effects on Liver Fat and Histology in HIV

Registered N/A interventional trial (completed), with sponsor-posted results. Liver disease is one of the leading co-morbidities of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present in approximately 30-40% of patients with HIV infection. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a more severe form of NAFLD in which increased liver fat is also accompanied by inflammation, cellular damage, and fibrosis. NAFLD is most prevalent in patients who also have increased visceral adiposity, and our group has previously shown that HIV-infected individuals w

Three Month Treatment of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) in the Elderly

Registered Phase 2 interventional trial (terminated), with sponsor-posted results. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of a naturally occurring hormone, called Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) on the muscle, bone, and fat tissues of the body. GHRH stimulates the production of growth hormone (GH), which regulates the build up of many tissues in the body, including muscles and bones. Many elderly people have low levels of GH. The overall goal of this research is to determine the efficacy of GHRH to raise levels of GH and improve these body tissues. Healthy men and women age

Comparative Study of Thymosin Beta 4 Eye Drops vs. Vehicle in the Treatment of Severe Dry Eye

Registered Phase 2 interventional trial (completed), with sponsor-posted results. Severe dry eye is a debilitating ocular disease resulting in loss of vision, reduced day-to-day function and significant discomfort. Tear substitutes are an important part of the treatment of all patients, however, even with aggressive us, the corneal(ocular)surface often remains very irregular due to poor surface healing. The agent being evaluated in this study, Thymosin Beta 4, promotes healing of the corneal surface and has been studied in patients with recalcitrant corneal ulcers and erosions with significant

Safety and Efficacy of Thymosin Beta 4 Ophthalmic Solution in Patients With Dry Eye

Registered Phase 2 interventional trial (completed), with sponsor-posted results. Thymosin Beta 4 (Tβ4) is a synthetic copy of the naturally-occurring 43-amino acid peptide that is found in a variety of tissues. Tβ4 promotes/accelerates wound repair in dermal, ocular, and cardiac animal models. Two recent pre-clinical evaluations have demonstrated that Tβ4 promotes corneal ocular surface defects healing in animal models of dry eye. RGN-259 (formulation of Tβ4 ophthalmic solution) mechanism of action offers potential to be a product that meets a major unmet medical need in patients with dry eye
