Abstract

GH replacement in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) children has well-defined benefits and risks and is used extensively worldwide. Its use in PWS adults has been limited by documentation of benefits and risks, as determined by larger multisite studies. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of GH in GH-deficient genotype-positive PWS adults. We conducted a 12-month open-label multicenter trial with 6-month dose-optimization and 6-month stable treatment periods. The study was conducted at outpatient treatment facilities at four U.S. academic medical centers. Lean and obese PWS adults with diverse cognitive skills, behavioral traits, and living arrangements were recruited from clinical populations. Human recombinant GH (Genotropin) was initiated at 0.2 mg/d with monthly 0.2-mg increments to a maximum 1.0 mg/d, as tolerated. Lean body mass and percent fat were measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Lean body mass increased from 42.65 +/- 2.25 (se) to 45.47 +/- 2.31 kg (P < or = 0.0001), and percent fat decreased from 42.84 +/- 1.12 to 39.95 +/- 1.34% (P = 0.025) at a median final dose of 0.6 mg/d in 30 study subjects who completed 6-12 months of GH. Mean fasting glucose of 85.3 +/- 3.4 mg/dl, hemoglobin A1c o...Continue Reading
