Addressing Treatment Challenges in Growth Hormone Deficiency with Novel Long-Acting Therapies-Addressing Treatment Challenges in Growth Hormone Deficiency with Novel Long-Acting Therapies

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, speakers Dr. Andy Hoffman and Dr. Sarah Duvall discuss the use of novel long-acting therapies for growth hormone deficiency. They begin by introducing themselves and their colleagues before outlining the objectives of the program, which include understanding how to diagnose the condition and developing comprehensive treatment plans.<br /><br />Dr. Hoffman describes the basics of diagnosing growth hormone deficiency and explains that growth hormone is usually secreted in a pulsatile manner. He discusses various tests that can be used to assess growth hormone deficiency, including the insulin tolerance test, the glucagon test, and mastomerelin. He also mentions the Argentine growth hormone releasing hormone test, which is not available in the United States.<br /><br />Next, Dr. Duvall focuses on growth hormone deficiency in the pediatric population. She describes the differential diagnosis for growth attenuation and explains the use of growth hormone stimulation testing in children. She also discusses the interpretation of test results and the potential for bias in the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency.<br /><br />The speakers then discuss the use of long-acting growth hormone products in both pediatric and adult patients. They compare various long-acting formulations and present data on their efficacy and safety. They also discuss the potential benefits and concerns associated with long-acting growth hormone therapy.<br /><br />In conclusion, the speakers highlight the need for further research and long-term safety data on long-acting growth hormone products. They also stress the importance of individualized treatment plans and shared decision-making between patients and healthcare providers.
