Macimorelin (INN) is a drug being developed by Æterna Zentaris for use in the diagnosis of adult growth hormone deficiency. As of January 2014, it is in Phase III clinical trials.[1] The phase III trial for growth hormone deficiency is expected to be complete in December 2016.[2]
Macimorelin is a mimic of ghrelin, a growth hormone secretagogue. It binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) causing release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.[3][4][5]
