TH9507 Extension Study in Patients With HIV- Associated Lipodystrophy - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Theratechnologies
Information provided by:	Theratechnologies
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00608023

Purpose

HIV lipodystrophy affects a significant proportion of patients treated with combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) and is characterized by excess visceral fat accumulation, loss of extremity and subcutaneous fat, in association with dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Data from the first Phase 3 multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated that daily administration of 2mg TH9507, a growth hormone releasing factor (GRF), to HIV- infected patients with excess of abdominal fat accumulation for 26 weeks resulted in decreases in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and trunk fat, with lesser changes in limb fat and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). The present study is aimed at confirming the observations made during the first Phase 3 study.
