Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Area under the Receiver Operator Characteristic curve (ROC AUC) based on GH concentration during GHST following macimorelin administration

Secondary outcome measures

Overall agreement between the outcome of the macimorelin GHST and the combined outcome from the 2 standard GHSTs

Sensitivity for the macimorelin GHST

Specificity for the macimorelin GHST

Active Control

Group I: standard GHST order randomized: clonidine - arginineActive Control3 Interventions

At V2, all subjects will perform the macimorelin GHST and will be randomized 1:1 to the order of the clonidine and arginine GHSTs at V3 and V4. In this arm, those subjects will be presented which will have been randomized to the clonidine GHST at V3 and to the arginine GHST at V4. At V5 all subjects will perform the macimorelin GHST.

Group II: standard GHST order randomized: arginine - clonidineActive Control3 Interventions

At visit 2 (V2), all subjects will perform the macimorelin GHST and will be randomized 1:1 to the order of the clonidine and arginine GHSTs at visit 3 (V3) and visit 4 (V4). In this arm, those subjects will be presented which will have been randomized to the arginine GHST at V3 and the clonidine GHST at V4. At visit 5 (V5) all subjects will perform the macimorelin GHST.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any other research papers which compare the results of the standard GHST order of arginine and clonidine?

"The randomized standard order of GHST: arginine - clonidine was first trialled in 2021 at Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Anna Meyer. So far, there have been 59 completed studies with 1 currently active trial. Many of these studies are conducted in Greenwood Village, Colorado."

Answered by AI

Is the combination of arginine and clonidine in GHST form safe for patients?

"Standard GHST order randomized: arginine - clonidine has received a safety score of 3 from our team at Power. This is because it is a Phase 3 trial, which means that there is both efficacy and safety data from multiple rounds of testing."
