Tesamorelin, a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone, is indicated for the reduction of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in people with HIV. Here, we performed a post hoc analysis of participants receiving tesamorelin for 26 weeks in a phase III clinical trial. Efficacy data were compared between individuals with and without dorsocervical fat, stratified by tesamorelin response. Among tesamorelin responders, VAT and waist circumference (WC) decreased in both dorsocervical fat groups and did not statistically differ (VAT = 0.657, WC = 0.093). These data demonstrate that tesamorelin is equally effective and should be considered in the treatment of excess VAT regardless of the presence of dorsocervical fat.
替沙莫瑞林是一种合成的生长激素释放激素,适用于减少感染HIV人群的内脏脂肪组织(VAT)。在此,我们对一项III期临床试验中接受替沙莫瑞林治疗26周的参与者进行了事后分析。根据替沙莫瑞林反应进行分层,比较了有和没有颈背脂肪的个体之间的疗效数据。在替沙莫瑞林反应者中,两个颈背脂肪组的VAT和腰围(WC)均下降,且无统计学差异(VAT = 0.657,WC = 0.093)。这些数据表明,无论是否存在颈背脂肪,替沙莫瑞林在治疗过多的VAT方面同样有效,均应予以考虑。
