TH9507 is a GH releasing factor that physiologically increases GH levels. A previous study of TH9507 resulted in decreases in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and trunk fat, increases in lean body mass and lipid profile improvement, and was generally well-tolerated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TH9507 in reducing abdominal adiposity associated with HIV-infection.
