Recruitment details

This Phase 3, open-label study was conducted in children with short stature due to severe primary insulin like growth factor-1 deficiency at 2 investigative sites in the US in conjunction with sites in 23 other countries (Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Iran, Israel, Italy, Kuwait, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Yemen).

Pre-assignment details

Participants who had been treated with mecasermin in previous Genentech-sponsored studies (F0206s, F0375g, F0632g, F0671g), as well as new participants naïve to mecasermin treatment, were enrolled in this study.

Outcome results

Primary

Annualized Height Velocity Up to 12 Years

Height velocity is the difference between 2 height measurements, divided by years elapsed between measurements.

Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose) and up to 12 years

Population: The intention-to-treat population consisted of all 92 participants. Only data from the participants naïve to exogenous recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1) and whose pre-treatment height velocity were available were reported.

Height Standard Deviation Score Up to 12 Years

Center for disease control growth charts from the US were used as reference for age and gender-dependent mean and standard deviation. Height standard deviation score was calculated as height minus reference mean height divided by standard deviation of the reference mean height. A higher height standard deviation score indicates a better outcome.
