Recombinant Human Insulin-Like Growth Factor (rhIGF-1) Treatment of Prepubertal Children With Growth Failure Associated With Primary IGF-1 Deficiency: A Phase 3, Randomized, Open Label, Observation-Controlled, Multicenter, Parallel-Dose Comparison Trial
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating rhIGF-1 (mecasermin, Tercica, Inc.) for Growth Disorders and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Deficiency. Completed, enrolled 137 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is intended to determine whether twice daily weight based dosing with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor (rhIGF-1) will safely and effectively increase the growth of prepubertal children with short stature associated with low IGF-1 levels but who produce sufficient growth hormone (GH). Subjects will be randomized to either an observation arm or to active treatment.
