    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical effect of weekly doses of Albutropin (TV-1106), as measured by the change from baseline in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), in growth hormone deficient (GHD) adults following 12 weeks of treatment.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in full accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Consolidated Guideline (E6) and any applicable national and local laws and regulations (eg, Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Title 21, Parts 50, 54, 56, 312, and 314; European Union (EU) Directive 2001/20/EC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the implementation of GCP in the conduct of clinical trials on medicinal products for human use). Written and/or oral information about the study was provided to all patients in a language understandable by the patients. The information included an adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, potential hazards, and insurance arrangements in force. Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before any study procedures or assessments were done. It was explained to the patients that they were free to refuse entry into the study and free to withdraw from the study at any time without prejudice to future treatment. Each patient’s willingness to participate in the study was documented in writing in a consent form that was signed by the patient with the date of that signature indicated. Each investigator kept the original consent forms, and copies were given to the patients.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    A total of 93 patients with GHD were screened for enrollment into this study. Of the 93 patients screened, 52 patients at 16 centers in Europe, the Middle East and the US met entry criteria.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Of the 41 patients not enrolled, 32 were excluded due to inclusion/exclusion criteria, 3 withdrew consent, 2 were lost to follow-up before the baseline visit, 1 experienced an AE, and 3 were excluded for ‘other’ reasons. Eligible patients were randomized on a 4:1 basis to either albutropin or genotropin.

    Albutropin
    Arm description
    Patients began with a starting weekly dose of Albutropin based on the conversion calculations (previous daily rhGH dose ×28 ×0.6). Up or down titration was allowed based on the IGF-1 SDS obtained on day 7 of weeks 3, 6, and 9 with the goal for each patient to achieve an IGF-1 SDS by the time of trough level during week 12 that was within ±0.5 SDS of the patient’s pre-washout IGF-1 SDS and a Cmax IGF-1 SDS level during week 12 that was below +2.0 SDS. Doses increased or decreased by 2.8 mg if the current dose was < 15 mg, and adjusted by 5.8 mg otherwise. At the end of week 12, patients were expected to continue into the extension phase on their current dose of weekly Albutropin.

    Dosage and administration details
    The dose and titration dose levels of Albutropin were up to 50 mg given as weekly subcutaneous (sc) injections in the formulation buffer. Doses in excess of 50 mg were not allowed for titration and resulted in early termination. Except on in-clinic visit days, the patient was responsible for injections of the specified dose of Albutropin once weekly between 6:00 and 10:00 AM in the abdomen or thigh, rotating the site with each injection. The starting Albutropin dose was 60% of the albutropin dose considered ‘comparable’ to the dose of rhGH previously administered. Dose adjustments were accomplished using a titration algorithm based on IGF-1 levels evaluated by a central reader who directed the investigator in choosing the titration dose. Ultimately, the investigator was responsible for making the final decision regarding the dose administered.

    Arm title
    Genotropin
    Arm description
    The initial dose of Genotropin was based on the previous daily rhGH dose in use prior to washout. Up and down titrations were performed at the same time points and according to the same algorithm as that described for Albutropin, using either 0.2 mg/day of the Genotropin if the current dose of Genotropin was greater than 0.5 mg/day or 0.1 mg/day if the current dose of Genotropin was less than or equal to 0.5 mg/day. At the end of week 12, patients were expected to continue into the extension phase on their current daily dose of Genotropin.

The dose levels available for achieving the appropriate final daily dose ranged from 0.2 mg to 1.8 mg and were administered using a variable, multi-dose injection device.

    End point description
    An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe= an AE which prevents normal daily activities. Relationship of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.

    Patients with Treatment-Emergent Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA)
    End point description
    The testing scheme for patients treated with Albutropin (TV-1106) was multi-tiered, with testing for inhibition by TV-1106, by human growth hormone (hGH), and by human serum albumin (HSA). Confirmed positive assays were titered and tested for neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). All patients treated with Genotropin were tested for anti- recombinant human growth hormone (anti-rhGH) ADA.

    Reporting group title
    Albutropin
    Reporting group description
    Patients began with a starting weekly dose of Albutropin based on the conversion calculations (previous daily rhGH dose ×28 ×0.6). Up or down titration was allowed based on the IGF-1 SDS obtained on day 7 of weeks 3, 6, and 9 with the goal for each patient to achieve an IGF-1 SDS by the time of trough level during week 12 that was within ±0.5 SDS of the patient’s pre-washout IGF-1 SDS and a Cmax IGF-1 SDS level during week 12 that was below +2.0 SDS. Doses increased or decreased by 2.8 mg if the current dose was < 15 mg, and adjusted by 5.8 mg otherwise. At the end of week 12, patients were expected to continue into the extension phase on their current dose of weekly Albutropin.

    Reporting group title
    Genotropin
    Reporting group description
    The initial dose of Genotropin was based on the previous daily rhGH dose in use prior to washout. Up and down titrations were performed at the same time points and according to the same algorithm as that described for TV-1106, using either 0.2 mg/day of the Genotropin if the current dose of Genotropin was greater than 0.5 mg/day or 0.1 mg/day if the current dose of Genotropin was less than or equal to 0.5 mg/day. At the end of week 12, patients were expected to continue into the extension phase on their current daily dose of genotropin.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    04 Mar 2013
    Amendment 1 (dated 04 March 2013) to the protocol was issued before any patients were enrolled into the study. The following major procedural changes (not all-inclusive) were made to the protocol:  Added monitoring procedures (MRI/CT imaging)  Clarified the inclusion/exclusion criteria  Clarified the study design  Clarified study drug dosing
    21 Jul 2013
    Amendment 2 (dated 21 July 2013) to the protocol was issued before any patients were enrolled into the study. Changes to the protocol were considered to have no negative impact on the safety of patients already enrolled into the study. The following major procedural changes (not all-inclusive) were made to the protocol:  Modified inclusion criterion d: the intent of inclusion criterion d was to establish that patients with GHD had been receiving stable rhGH therapy. However, patients with GHD that had been clinically stable over an extended period of time may have had infrequent monitoring of their IGF-1 levels, and still have been an appropriate clinical candidate for the study. Therefore, clarification of this criterion was necessary to reduce patient burden in terms of time and inconvenience of additional blood draws, as well as to clarify to investigators how to proceed with patients with long standing GHD in whom frequent monitoring was not indicated.  Modified / amended exclusion criteria Electrocardiography was modified so that the methodology of ECG collection could support further development work for QT analysis. Digital ECGs with a central reader were used for the core phase of the study. For the safety extension phase, traditional ECGs were performed with investigator interpretation. Lipid profile was changed from a secondary endpoint to a safety endpoint .  Clarified that the MRI/CT scan should have been performed prior to baseline (visit 3) so that the results could have been obtained prior to the baseline visit, in which the first dose of study drug was administered.
