This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This Phase III study plans to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Serostim in the treatment and maintenance of HIV-associated Adipose Redistribution Syndrome (HARS). The effect of 2 mg of alternate day Serostim or placebo on visceral adipose tissue (VAT) as a maintenance therapy for HARS will be observed. Additionally, other efficacy parameters including changes in metabolic profile, quality of life, and safety of therapy, will be investigated. Subjects will have 10 study visits, plus 4 weeks of post-treatment collection of reported adverse events, for a study duration of 42 weeks. This multi-center trial will enroll 300 subjects nationally. Up to ten subjects will be enrolled locally.
