Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Plus Recombinant Human Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Coadministration Therapy in Short Children with Low Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Growth Hormone Sufficiency: Results from a Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Active Treatment-Controlled Trial

چکیده
Background/Aims: Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) both contribute to growth. To determine if recombinant human (rh)GH + rhIGF-1 therapy is more effective than rhGH alone to treat short stature, we assessed the efficacy and safety of coadministered rhGH + rhIGF-1 in short children with GH sufficiency and low IGF-1. Methods: In a 3-year, randomized, multicenter, open-label trial, patients with height SD score ≤ − 2.0 and IGF-1 SD score ≤ − 1.0 for age and sex, and with stimulated GH ≥ 10 ng/ml for age and sex, were randomized to receive (all doses in μg/kg/ day): 45 rhGH alone (group A), 45 rhGH + 50 rhIGF-1 (group B), 45 rhGH + 100 rhIGF-1 (group C) or 45 rhGH + 150 rhIGF-1 Received: October 29, 2014 Accepted: December 22, 2014 Published online: March 6, 2015 HORMONE

The density of radius and tibia was m...
متن کاملProduction and functional characterization of human insulin-like growth factor 1
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a polypeptide hormone produced mainly by the liver in response to the endocrine growth hormone (GH) stimulus. This protein is involved in a wide range of cellular functions, including cellular differentiation, transformation, apoptosis suppression, migration and cell-cycle progression and other metabolic processes. In the current study, human heart cDNA w...
متن کاملOptimization and Construction of Human Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Gene related to human health
Background and aims: Laron syndrome is a disease that treated by Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). This protein is a single chain and has three disulfide bonds. People with Laron syndrome have low rates of cancer and diabetes, although they appear to be at increased risk of casual death due to their stature. IGF-1 is synthesized by many tissues and is secreted from liver as an endocrine hor...
متن کاملRecombinant growth hormone therapy for prepubertal children with idiopathic short stature in Korea: a phase III randomized trial
PURPOSE Several studies have evaluated the effects of growth hormone (GH) on auxological and biochemical parameters in children with non-GH-deficient, idiopathic short stature (ISS). This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Growtropin®-II (recombinant human GH) in Korean patients with ISS. METHODS This was a 1-year, open-label, multicenter, phase III randomized trial of Growtropin®-II ...
