Experience with the use of domestic somatotropin Rastan for the treatment of children with Turner syndrome

https://doi.org/10.14341/probl201056311-15

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of the treatment of girls presenting with Turner syndrome by recombinant growth hormone Rastan (Farmstandart-UfaVITA). A total 29 girls in this condition were available for observation. Their chronological age at the time of diagnosis averaged 7.9±1.2 years at the time of diagnosis and 9.8±1.6 at the onset of therapy; the bone age was 7.5±1.1 years. Duration of the treatment was 24 months. Recombinant somatotropin was used in the form of lyophilisate (1.33 mg) to prepare a solution for subcutaneous injections at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg of body weight. The solution was administered daily at evening hours. The mean growth rate of the patients with Turner syndrome was estimated at 4.2±0.6 cm/year prior to Rastan therapy, 8.7±0.6 cm/year during the first 12 months of the treatment, and 6.1±1.2 cm/yr in the second year. Overall, the height of the girls increased by 0.84 SD within the two years. No adverse effects of therapy were documented. It is concluded that the use of recombinant somatotropin Rastan is an efficacious and safe therapeutic modality for the acceleration of growth in girls with Turner syndrome.
