Design class
Phase 1 single- and multiple-ascending-dose study
Masking
Double-blind within dose cohort, sponsor-open
Arms
2
Allocation
Randomised between the intervention and its comparator
Endpoint adjudication
Not applicable to the primary endpoint of this design
Data monitoring
As specified in the protocol

§2.2Arms

Table 2. Randomised arms. Illustrative: arm-level allocations are reconstructed by the Institute from the design class and the randomised total where the published report does not state them.

ArmAllocatedShareDescription
GHRP-6Intervention at the dose reached after titration
PlaceboMatched placebo, administered on the same schedule
The randomised total is not recorded by the Institute and arm-level figures are therefore not presented.

§2.3Population

Indication. Growth hormone deficiency and growth-hormone secretagogue pharmacology

Insufficient endogenous growth-hormone secretion, or the pharmacological stimulation of the growth-hormone axis, assessed here principally through provocative testing and IGF-1 response.

Geographic footprint. Finland · Hungary · China.

§2.4Eligibility as the Institute reads it

  • Included. Insufficient endogenous growth-hormone secretion, or the pharmacological stimulation of the growth-hormone axis, assessed here principally through provocative testing and IGF-1 response.
  • Excluded. Participants for whom the intervention is contraindicated, including not established — no marketing authorisation. Exclusion criteria narrow the population to which the estimate applies and are the principal source of indirectness where a trial estimate is applied to ordinary practice.
Nothing published by the Institute is medical advice, a diagnosis, a prescription, a treatment recommendation or a purchasing recommendation. Compounds supplied for research use are not approved for human or veterinary use in any jurisdiction, and a favourable analytical assessment of a supplier is not a statement that any product is safe or effective. The Institute publishes certainty ratings and never recommendations. No telephone number, messaging handle or ordering channel appears anywhere on this site.
