We recently showed that, in IGF-based GH therapy, the IGF-I target chosen affects GH dose requirements, and higher IGF-I targets are associated with more robust growth parameters.
The objective of the study was to compare the response of GH-deficient (GHD) vs. idiopathic short-stature (ISS) children to IGF-based GH therapy.
This was a 2-yr, open-label, randomized trial.
The setting was multicenter and outpatient.
Prepubertal short children [height sd score (SDS) < -2] with low IGF-I levels (<or=-1 SDS), subclassified based on the peak stimulated serum GH concentration at baseline, into two subgroups: GHD (n = 63, GH < 7 ng/ml) and ISS (n = 102, GH >or= 7 ng/ml).
Patients were randomized 2:2:1 to three treatment groups: IGF-I target of 0 SDS (IGF0T), 2 SDS (IGF2T), or a conventional weight-based GH dosing of 40 microg/kg x d (Conv).
Change in (Delta) height SDS, IGF-I SDS, and GH dose was measured.
ISS subjects required higher GH doses than GHD patients in the IGF2T (but not IGF0T) arm (medians 119 and 65 microg/kg x d, respectively), indicating that ISS represents a partial GH-insensitive state that manifests during treatment with higher doses of GH. GHD children grew more than those with ISS in both IGF-targeted dosage groups despite similar IGF-I levels (suggesting a degree of IGF insensitivity in ISS subjects): Delta height SDS of 2.04 +/- 0.17 for GHD and 1.33 +/- 0.09 for ISS groups in IGF2T, 1.41 +/- 0.13 for children with GHD, and 0.84 +/- 0.07 for those with ISS in IGF0T.
IGF-based GH dosing is clinically feasible in both GHD and ISS patients, although GH dose requirements and auxological outcomes are distinct between these groups. This suggests a degree of both GH and IGF insensitivity in subjects with ISS that requires specific management strategies to optimize growth during GH therapy.
我们最近表明,在基于 IGF 的 GH 治疗中,所选的 IGF-I 靶标会影响 GH 剂量需求,而较高的 IGF-I 靶标与更显著的生长参数相关。
本研究的目的是比较生长激素缺乏症(GHD)和特发性身材矮小(ISS)儿童对基于 IGF 的 GH 治疗的反应。
这是一项为期 2 年、开放标签、随机试验。
该试验为多中心、门诊设置。
青春期前矮小儿童(身高标准差评分 [SDS] < -2),IGF-I 水平低(< -1 SDS),根据基线时最高刺激血清 GH 浓度进行分类,分为两个亚组:GHD(n = 63,GH < 7 ng/ml)和 ISS(n = 102,GH >or= 7 ng/ml)。
患者随机分为 2:2:1 三组治疗组:IGF-I 目标为 0 SDS(IGF0T)、2 SDS(IGF2T)或常规体重基础 GH 剂量 40 microg/kg x d(Conv)。
身高 SDS、IGF-I SDS 和 GH 剂量的变化。
在 IGF2T 组(而非 IGF0T 组),ISS 患者需要的 GH 剂量高于 GHD 患者(中位数分别为 119 和 65 microg/kg x d),表明 ISS 代表 GH 不敏感的部分状态,在较高剂量 GH 治疗期间表现出来。在两种 IGF 靶向剂量组中,GHD 患儿的生长速度均高于 ISS 患儿,尽管 IGF-I 水平相似(表明 ISS 患者存在一定程度的 IGF 不敏感性):IGF2T 组 GHD 患儿的身高 SDS 变化为 2.04 +/- 0.17,ISS 组为 1.33 +/- 0.09;IGF0T 组 GHD 患儿为 1.41 +/- 0.13,ISS 患儿为 0.84 +/- 0.07。
基于 IGF 的 GH 给药在 GHD 和 ISS 患者中均具有临床可行性,尽管两组的 GH 剂量需求和生长参数结果不同。这表明 ISS 患者存在一定程度的 GH 和 IGF 不敏感性,需要特定的管理策略来优化 GH 治疗期间的生长。
