Normal IGF-1 or glucose-suppressed GH levels at weeks 0 and 24 or at early termination
Switch patients (n = 33) | Other patients (n = 26) | |
---|---|---|
Week 0, n (%) | ||
Normal IGF-1 and GH < 1 μg/L | 19/30 (63.3) | 1/25 (4.0) |
Normal IGF-1 and GH > 1 μg/L | 6/30 (20.0) | 3/25 (12.0) |
Elevated IGF-1 and GH < 1 μg/L | 2/30 (6.7) | 2/25 (8.0) |
Elevated IGF-1 and GH > 1 μg/L | 3/30 (10.0) | 19/25 (76.0) |
Week 24 or early termination, n (%) | ||
Normal IGF-1 and GH < 1 μg/L | 19/26 (73.1) | 7/23 (30.4)* |
Normal IGF-1 and GH > 1 μg/L | 5/26 (19.2) | 3/23 (13.0) |
Elevated IGF-1 and GH < 1 μg/L | 1/26 (3.8) | 2/23 (8.7) |
Elevated IGF-1 and GH > 1 μg/L | 1/26 (3.8) | 11/23 (47.8) |
Glucose-suppressed GH levels were not obtained in diabetic patients and were not obtained in all of the early termination patients
