Trial Information

Summary: Recruiting men with pituitary disease who have testosterone and growth hormone deficiencies.

Both testosterone and growth hormone individually improve bone density in men who have deficiencies of these hormones. The purpose of this research study is to determine if the combination of testosterone and growth hormone improves bone structure more than testosterone alone.

Thirteen outpatient visits over a 2-year period are required. Bone structure will be evaluated three times (at the beginning, after 12 months, and after 24 months). Three kinds of tests will be performed: DEXA, MRI and p-QCT. All three are non-invasive tests of bone quality and low risk.

By participating in this study you will learn more about the health of your bones and other aspects of your health. Reports will be provided to you and to any physician you wish. The study covers the cost of all study procedures and medications.

Study Criteria:

• Be male and over 18 years of age
• Have documented pituitary disease
• Be deficient in testosterone and growth hormone
• Have not taken growth hormone or testosterone within the past two years
