E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect of weekly doses of TV-1106, as measured by the change from baseline in IGF-I, in GHD adults following 12 weeks of treatment. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess the extent of the adult GHD patient population that responds positively to weekly TV-1106 as demonstrated by an increase in IGF-I standard deviation score (SDS)
To determine the effect of long-term TV-1106 treatment on maintenance of or improvement in the lipid profile of adult GHD patients treated with TV-1106 for 64 weeks |
