Background: severe primary insulin-like growth factor-1 deficiency (SPIGFD) is a rare growth disorder. Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) (rhIGF-1; Increlex® [mecasermin]) replacement therapy is EU and US-approved for treating growth failure due to SPIGFD. The long-term therapeutic objective of rhIGF-1 treatment in SPIGFD is to improve adult height (AH). Objective: to describe the characteristics, safety and effectiveness data for patients with growth failure receiving rhIGF-1 achieving AH or near-AH and elucidate the factors that predict treatment response.
Methods: The ongoing Global Increlex® Registry is a multicentre, open-label, observational study (in ten European countries and the USA) monitoring the long-term safety and effectiveness of rhIGF-1 in children and adolescents with SPIGFD (NCT00903110). Eligible patients: aged 2–18 years, received rhIGF-1 for growth failure due to SPIGFD.
Results: At data cut-off (03 October 2022), 101 patients reached AH; 66.3% (n=67/101) were male. SPIGFD diagnosis was reported in 86.1% (n=87/101) of patients; at Baseline, 56.4% of patients were treatment-naïve (n=57/101) and 45.5% (n=46/101) were naïve prepubertal patients (NPP). 58.2% (n=57/98) performed a genetic test. 18.8% (n=19/101) had Laron syndrome. Table 1 summarises results for the overall and NPP populations. Multivariate analysis revealed height standard deviation score (SDS) (HtSDS) gain from rhIGF-1 initiation to final AH (FAH) in the NPP population (n=26) was higher in patients with lower Baseline HtSDS (P<0.001), higher predicted AH (PAH) (P=0.028) and higher biological mother height (BMH) (P=0.039). In the overall population, 66.3% (n=67/101) presented ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE). Hypoglycaemia was the most frequent TEAE and serious targeted TEAE.

Conclusions: There was a significant gain in HtSDS from rhIGF-1 initiation to FAH in patients with SPIGFD receiving rhIGF-1. Baseline HtSDS, PAH and BMH were predictive of HtSDS gain at FAH in NPP patients. Safety data are consistent with the profile of mecasermin.
