2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommendations in this prescribing information only apply to EGRIFTA SV (tesamorelin) for injection 2 mg per vial formulation. For recommendations for tesamorelin for injection 1 mg per vial formulation, see the EGRIFTA prescribing...
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION The recommendations in this prescribing information only apply to EGRIFTA WR (tesamorelin) for injection 11.6 mg per vial formulation. For recommendations for tesamorelin for injection 2 mg per vial formulation, see the EGRIFTA SV...
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study evaluates whether daily subcutaneous tesamorelin (a growth hormone-releasing hormone analog) reduces liver fat in adults with fatty liver disease. Participants receive tesamorelin or matching placebo for 52 weeks, with standardized lifestyle...
People with HIV experience earlier impairments in physical function compared to people in the general population. They also exhibit an earlier presentation and more rapid development of frailty, a multisystemic syndrome of aging characterized by reduced activity, fatigue,...
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...
In this study, the investigators will examine the effect of therapy with the Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog tesamorelin on body composition in patients with HIV lipodystrophy and central adiposity. This study is a single arm prospective...
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of tesamorelin as a therapy for peripheral nerve injuries. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with tesamorelin will result in faster and more substantial recovery of motor and...
Background: People who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) often have trouble sleeping. TBI may also alter hormones, which can cause poor sleep. Researchers believe that a form of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) might improve sleep...
The aim of this study is to test whether tesamorelin, in combination with a text-messaging application to help with motivation and adherence, will significantly improve memory and thinking in HIV.
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...
The primary objective of the study is to determine the PK (tesamorelin) and PD (IGF-1) profiles of tesamorelin after a single 2 mg subcutaneous administration and after repeated administration once daily for 14 consecutive days. Secondary objectives include...
Sleep-disordered breathing is characterized primarily by partial or total upper airway obstruction during sleep. The most common form of sleep-disordered breathing is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to recurrent collapse of the upper airway with the onset of...
Obesity is strongly associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Data increasingly suggest that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation -- or increased abdominal fat -- is particularly deleterious to cardiovascular health, but further study is needed to test...
To show the non-inferiority of EGRIFTA® vs. placebo in the development or progression of Diabetic Retinopathy in HIV-infected subjects with concomitant abdominal lipohypertrophy and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The purpose of this observational, 10-year, prospective cohort study is to assess the potential safety concerns of long-term exposure to EGRIFTA® in HIV-infected subjects with abdominal lipohypertrophy compared with a similar group of subjects not exposed to EGRIFTA®.
A significant proportion of COPD subjects experience muscle wasting, which has been associated with increased morbidity, impaired physical functioning, and a poor quality of life. Muscle wasting is associated with reduced muscle strength in COPD subjects. In particular,...
HIV-infection and its treatment are often associated with an increase in belly fat, as well as abnormal cholesterol and problems metabolizing sugar. People with HIV infection and increased belly fat often have decreased growth hormone (GH) levels. Low...
The purpose of this trial is to examine the short-term effects of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH, tesamorelin) administration in healthy men. We hypothesize that GHRH will increase GH pulse height and will not affect insulin sensitivity.
The purpose of this study is to examine the short-term effects of two different doses of growth hormone, compared to treatment with growth hormone releasing hormone, on the brain's secretion of growth hormone and the body's glucose metabolism....
Assessing the Efficacy and Long-Term Safety of a 2 mg dose of TH9507, a Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor Analog, in HIV Subjects with Excess Abdominal Fat Accumulation
This study is examining the effects of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) on mild cognitive impairment (MCI). GHRH will be given at a dose of 1mg/day for 10 weeks to subjects with MCI as well as healthy controls.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether TH9507, a stabilized analogue of growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF), would have an effect on insulin sensitivity or control of diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes.
