Study of TV-1106 in Growth Hormone-Deficient Adults
Condition: Growth Hormone Deficiency
Intervention: TV-1106; Placebo
Intervention description: A starting dose of 5.0 mg was expected to be appropriate for most patients because the daily recommended starting dose of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatments (e.g. somatropin) is 0.2 mg/day, and the conversion factor was 28. Dosage could be titrated by an unblinded central reader on weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16 until the participant's insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) standard deviation score (SDS) was within the range of -0.5 to +1.5.; Placebo treatment was administered in a blinded fashion and titrated on weeks 4, 8, 12 and 16 to mimic the active treatment.

        Exclusion:

          -  patients with acute or chronic conditions or diseases that could confound results of
             the study or put the patient at undue risk as determined by the investigator

          -  Presence of contraindications to rhGH treatment

          -  patients who have participated in another clinical trial with a new
             chemical/biological entity within 3 months of screening

             carcinoma or carcinoma in situ of cervix)

          -  patients with a previously treated pituitary tumor with evidence of tumor progression
             in the past year patients with a new diagnosis of pituitary adenoma or other
             intracranial tumor within 12 months of screening
