Brief Summary

A Phase 2, open-label dose-finding safety study of individualized monthly VRS-317 dosing for five months in adults with GHD.

Detailed Description

A Phase 2, dose finding safety study to evaluate an individualized monthly VRS-317 dosing regimen in adults with GHD. This is an open-label, international, multicenter study with VRS-317 treatment for five months. This treatment period will include monthly dose titrations until a subject's mean IGF-I SDS value is within a target range for two consecutive months. Subjects will be stratified into three cohorts based on sensitivity to rhGH.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety as measured by the number of subjects with adverse events, concomitant medications, safety labs, vital signs and physical exams5 months

Safety observations include adverse events, concomitant medications, safety labs, vital signs and physical exams.

Starting doses (proportion of subjects who achieve normalization of IGF-I SDS response during the first dosing interval )5 months

To evaluate the starting doses of VRS-317 for each cohort as measured by the proportion of subjects who achieve normalization of IGF-I SDS response during the first dosing interval (one month after the first dose)

Dose titration plan (proportion of subjects who achieve a mean IGF-I SDS within the defined target range after each dose titration)5 months

To evaluate the dose titration plan of VRS-317 for each cohort as measured by the proportion of subjects who achieve a mean IGF-I SDS within the defined target range after each dose titration

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
