Background: The post-authorization registry, EU-IGFD, was initiated in Dec-2008 to collect data in children with growth failure receiving Increlex® (Mecasermin [rDNA Origin] Injection).
Objective and hypotheses: To report patient characteristics, safety and effectiveness data in poor-responders (i.e. with change in year 1 Height SDS <0.3).
Method: European, multicentre, open-label, observational study; eCRF data collection.
Results: As of 06-Oct-2015, 221 patients were enrolled in 10 countries, among them 93 naïve prepubertal patients (NPP) with available data including 38 poor-responders and 55 responders. In NPP, at treatment initiation poor-responders were statistically older compared to responders (multivariate analysis: OR [95% CI] =0.78 [0.69;0.90]; P<0.001). Neither gender, mid-parental adult height, height SDS, weight SDS, IGF-I nor Laron-syndrome were statistically different between groups. Median [95% CI] treatment duration in poor-responders was 1221 [891;1422], versus 1381 [1167;1829] days in responders; median dose (μg/kg BID) was 40 at treatment initiation in both subgroups, 107 versus 120 at Year 1, 120 at Year 2 in both subgroups. Baseline characteristics and effectiveness data (mean (SD)) were as follows. In the 93 NPP, the treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were 47% and 55% in poor-responders and responders, respectively, and the targeted adverse events (TAEs) were 37% and 45%. The most common TAEs in poor-responders were: hypoglycaemia (16% vs 20%), headache (13% vs 11%), tonsillar hypertrophy (11% vs 9%), and injection-site erythema (5% vs none).

Conclusion: Naïve prepubertal patients defined as poor-responders (year 1 height SDS change < 0.3) were older at the time of first Increlex intake. Other common predictors of poor response to growth promoting therapy were not identified. Poor-responders had lower second year gain in height SDS. TEAEs and TAEs were less frequent overall in poor responders. The first year Increlex response should be evaluated to determine whether to adjust treatment.
