CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Somatropin Biopartners is indicated for the replacement therapy of
endogenous growth hormone in
adults with childhood- or adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
Adult-onset: Patients with GHD in adulthood are defined as patients
with known
hypothalamic-pituitary pathology and at least one additional known
deficiency of a pituitary hormone
excluding prolactin. These patients should undergo a single dynamic
test in order to diagnose or
exclude a GHD.
Childhood-onset: In patients with childhood-onset isolated GHD (no
evidence of
hypothalamic-pituitary disease or cranial irradiation), two dynamic
tests should be performed after
completion of growth, except for those having low insulin-like growth
factor-I (IGF-I) concentrations
(< -2 standard deviation score (SDS)), who may be considered for one
test. The cut-off point of the
dynamic test should be strict.
