We compared the effectiveness of a biweekly regimen of 150 mg nandrolone with placebo in HIV-infected men with mild to moderate weight loss and contrasted its effects against a Food and Drug Administration-approved regimen of recombinant human (rh)GH. In this placebo-controlled, randomized, 12-wk trial, placebo and nandrolone (150 mg im biweekly) were administered double blind, and rhGH (6 mg sc daily) was administered in an open-label manner. Participants were HIV-infected men with 5-15% weight loss over 6 months and on stable antiretroviral therapy for more than 12 wk. Lean body mass (LBM), muscle performance, physical function, endurance, hormone levels, insulin sensitivity, sexual function, quality of life, and appetite were assessed at baseline and after 12 wk.

Nandrolone administration was associated with a greater increase in LBM (+1.6 +/- 0.3 kg) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan than placebo (+0.4 +/- 0.3 kg; P < 0.05); however, the change in LBMs with nandrolone was not significantly different from rhGH (+2.5 +/- 0.3 kg). Nandrolone administration was also associated with significantly greater gains in fat-free mass (+1.6 +/- 0.3 kg), body cell mass (+1.0 +/- 0.2 kg), and intracellular water (+0.9 +/- 0.2 kg) than placebo; these changes in the nandrolone group were not significantly different from the rhGH group. rhGH administration was associated with greater loss of whole body fat mass and higher frequency of drug-related adverse effects and treatment discontinuations than nandrolone and placebo and a greater increase in extracellular water than nandrolone. Nandrolone treatment was associated with greater improvements in perception of health than rhGH and sexual function than placebo. The cachexia/anorexia scores, health care resource use, and insulin sensitivity did not significantly change. We conclude that nandrolone is superior to placebo and not significantly different from a Food and Drug Administration-approved regimen of rhGH in improving lean body mass in HIV-infected men with mild to moderate weight loss.

Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid, the main uses of which have been in osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and in the treatment of anemia due to chronic renal failure, cytotoxic drug therapy or aplastic anemia. It is no longer recommended for the treatment of osteoporosis. Nandrolone has androgenic and anabolic actions and is administered by intramuscular injection in an oily base.

Anabolic Effects of Nandrolone Decanoate in Patients Receiving Dialysis
A Randomized Controlled Trial


Kirsten L. Johansen, MD; Kathleen Mulligan, PhD; Morris Schambelan, MD
JAMA. 1999;281(14):1275-1281. doi:10.1001/jama.281.14.1275


Abstract
Context Patients receiving dialysis commonly experience malnutrition, reduced muscle mass (sarcopenia), and fatigue for which no effective treatment has been identified. Anabolic steroids are known to increase muscle mass and strength in healthy individuals, but their effect on the sarcopenia and fatigue associated with long-term dialysis has not been evaluated.

Objective To assess the effects of an anabolic steroid, nandrolone decanoate, on lean body mass (LBM), functional status, and quality of life in dialysis patients.

Design Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted between April 1996 and July 1997.

Setting Hospital-based outpatient dialysis unit.

Patients Twenty-nine patients undergoing dialysis for at least 3 months.

Intervention Nandrolone decanoate, 100 mg (n = 14), or placebo (n = 15) by intramuscular injection once a week for 6 months.

Main Outcome Measures Weight, LBM, fatigue, grip strength, walking and stair-climbing times, and treadmill performance after 3 and 6 months of treatment.

Results Lean body mass increased significantly in patients given nandrolone compared with patients given placebo (mean change [SD], +4.5 [2.3] kg; P<.001 compared with baseline). This effect was significantly greater than the change in LBM in the placebo group (mean change [SD], +1.9 [1.6] kg; P = .003 compared with baseline; P = .005 compared with nandrolone group). Serum creatinine levels increased in the nandrolone group (+168 [203] mmol/L [1.9 {2.3} mg/dL]; P = .02) but not in the placebo group (−4.0 [177] mmol/L [0.04 {2.0} mg/dL]; P = .95), suggesting an increase in muscle mass. Time to complete the walking and stair-climbing test decreased from 36.5 to 32.7 seconds in the nandrolone group, while those in the placebo group increased from 38.7 to 42.1 seconds (P = .05). Peak oxygen consumption increased in the individuals in the nandrolone group who performed treadmill tests, but not to a statistically significant degree. Grip strength did not change in either group.

Conclusions Treatment with nandrolone for 6 months resulted in a significant increase in LBM associated with functional improvement in patients undergoing dialysis.

In the United States, the average life span of a patient entering a long-term dialysis program is less than half that of an age-matched control not receiving dialysis.1 Although the cause of this discrepancy is probably multifactorial, both malnutrition and reduced muscle mass are common in dialysis patients2-6 and have been shown to correlate with increased mortality.3,5-8 Therapies designed to improve the nutritional status of dialysis patients might therefore be expected to improve outcome. Anabolic agents, such as human growth hormone, can improve nitrogen balance in patients undergoing dialysis and in other catabolic states.9-14 Human growth hormone reduces urea generation and protein catabolic rate in long-term hemodialysis patients in short-term studies.12,13 However, human growth hormone can exacerbate hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes, who represent a large percentage of malnourished hemodialysis patients. Moreover, human growth hormone is expensive and may have limited potential as a long-term treatment.
