Does oral macimorelin provide comparable diagnostic accuracy to the insulin tolerance test for adult growth hormone deficiency?
Oral macimorelin is a safe, simple, and accurate diagnostic alternative to the insulin tolerance test for adult growth hormone deficiency.
Oral macimorelin is a simple, well-tolerated, reproducible, and safe diagnostic test for AGHD with accuracy comparable to that of the ITT. A GH cutoff of 5.1 ng/mL for the macimorelin test provides an excellent balance between sensitivity and specificity.
