• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2019-04-11
• Target enrollment: 0

Summary

This study evaluates the effects of ACTIMMUNE (IFN-γ1b) in children and adults with intermediate osteoporosis. All participants will receive treatment with ACTIMMUNE for 12 months. The investigators hypothesize that ACTIMMUNE will be tolerated by participants for the full 12 months and result in decreased disease severity.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
