As part of a multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of one daily subcutaneous dose of 30 micrograms/kg of GHRH, 16 prepubertal GH-deficient children with a mean chronological age of 9.0 +/- 2.3 years were treated for 12 to 24 months. After six months of therapy 11 children (68.7%) were considered good responders in that their growth velocity increased by greater than 2 cm/yr over baseline and were continued on GHRH, while five subjects (31.3%) were regarded as poor responders and switched to recombinant hGH for the following six months. Growth velocity increased significantly in responders from a baseline of 3.4 +/- 0.7 cm/yr (mean +/- SD) to 6.8 +/- 0.1 cm/yr, 6.2 +/- 0.9 cm/yr, 6.6 +/- 1.0 cm/yr and 6.5 +/- 0.7 cm/yr at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months respectively. Bone ages advanced by an amount equivalent to the months of treatment. GHRH antibodies were detected in 4/11 and 6/11 responders at six and 12 months of treatment and in 2/5 non-responders at six months, but seemed not to interfere with growth. No side effects or changes in glucose and lipid levels were noted during therapy. These results suggest that GHRH (1-29) at the dose and schedule used is generally effective in the treatment of GH deficiency.
