The Safety and Efficacy of Growth Hormone Secretagogues Growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs), which include growth hormone releasing peptides (GHRPs) and small molecule drugs that can stimulate secretion of endogenous GH, may provide the benefits of GH while minimizing negative sequelae In this review, we summarize the literature examining the safety and efficacy of GHSs
GHRP-6 Vs. MK-677 Vs. Ipamorelin: Differences Clinical Uses This study investigated the effect of taking MK-677, an oral growth hormone secretagogue, on markers of bone metabolism in healthy obese males The study was a randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled trial with 24 obese males aged 19-49 years in two groups: MK-677 (25 mg day; n=12) and placebo (n=12) for 8 weeks
Treatment of Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency With Oral . . . Growth hormone (GH) secretagogues have been explored for more than 40 years They are small synthetic peptide and nonpeptide drugs with GH-releasing activity that can be administered by intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, and oral routes and have variable bioavailability [1]
Design, Biological Characterization, and Discovery of . . . Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is a well-established treatment for children with growth deficiencies worldwide However, its requirement for subcutaneous administration limits convenience compared to that of oral therapies Starting from capromorelin, we designed, synthesized, and characterized a novel orally active GHSR-1a agonist, compound 4b (hGHSR-1a EC50 = 0 49 nM), which
Phase 3 pivotal trial design of daily oral LUM-201 s efficacy . . . LUM-201, an oral growth hormone secretagogue (GHS), acts on the GHS receptor 1a in the pituitary and hypothalamus to stimulate GH release Clinical evidence suggests that LUM-201 increases GH pulse amplitude, resulting in increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and growth

Approaching the Reality of Restoring GH Secretion and Growth . . . Approaching the Reality of Restoring GH Secretion and Growth with the Investigative Oral Growth Hormone Secretagogue (GHS) LUM-201 (PGHD) Is restoring physiological GH secretion a better approach to treating moderate paediatric GHD than using exogenous rhGH?
