Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency

The purpose of this study is to determine whether growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) is effective versus placebo in the improvement of Quality of Life in patients with adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

This is a multiple-dose, dose-escalation, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ⅱa clinical trial. A total of 36 adult participants with growth hormone deficiency will be enrolled sequentially in ascending dose cohorts, and within each dose cohort, participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio.

The goal of the GWIT Study is to assess whether growth hormone replacement therapy is a safe and effective treatment for veterans with Gulf War Illness (GWI) and adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD). The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Is growth hormone effective at reducing fat in the trunk of the body and symptoms of GWI among veterans with GWI and growth hormone deficiency? 2. Do the results of the study suggest there is merit in pursuing a larger trial to examine the efficacy of growth hormone as a treatment for growth hormone deficiency among veterans with Gulf War Illness? To determine eligibility for the study, veterans will be asked to complete several assessments including questionnaires, blood tests, and a scan of the brain. Participants who qualify for the study will receive recombinant human growth hormone for 6-months. A body composition scan will be performed at Day1, Day 90, and Day 180 of the intervention. Questionnaires and cognitive tests will also be collected before and after the trial.

To check how safe and well-tolerated a single subcutaneous injection of GenSc134 is in healthy male volunteers， a multiple-doses subcutaneous injection of GenSc134 is in healthy volunteers，a single subcutaneous injection of GenSc134 is in AGHD patients.

Our objective is to evaluate the outcome in adulthood of Belgian and Luxembourgish patients treated with rhGH during childhood for CO-GHD. The primary goal is to determine the proportion of adult CO-GHD patients who continue to receive regular medical follow-up and those still undergoing rhGH therapy using a questionnaire. Secondary objectives include assessing the regularity of follow-up and compliance with treatment in adulthood, evaluating possible comorbidities, health issues, lifestyle, living environment, and quality of life. Additionally, we aim to assess the metabolic profile in adulthood, particularly focusing on BMI, glycemic, and lipid data, for patients who consent to share their current clinical and biological data. Data will be described according to treatment adherence and CO-GHD etiology/phenotypes (e.g., idiopathic vs. organic GHD, isolated vs. combined GHD, partial vs. severe GHD).
