Impact of long-acting growth hormone replacement therapy in adult growth hormone deficiency: Comparison between adolescent, adult, and elderly patients.
Best Practice & Research. Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 2023 September 29
The predominant features of the adult growth hormone deficiency (GHD) syndrome may vary between patients of different age and age of onset of GHD. Evidence from clinical trials and long-term observational studies has informed our ability to understand the unique considerations regarding risks and benefits of daily growth hormone replacement therapy (GHRT) and specific dosing and monitoring strategies for these patient subgroups. High rates of nonadherence with daily GHRT presents a challenge to achieving optimal treatment outcomes and long-acting growth hormone (LAGH) formulations have been developed with the promise of improving treatment adherence resulting in improved therapeutic outcomes. While existing data from short-term studies have demonstrated noninferiority of efficacy and safety of LAGH compared to daily GHRT, long-term studies are needed to assess the full spectrum of outcomes of interest and long-term safety considerations specific to patients in adolescence, adulthood and the elderly GHD population. Since each LAGH formulation has a unique pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile optimal dosing and monitoring strategies will need to be developed to allow for the provision of individualized patient treatment.
