Background: The EU-IGFD registry was established to monitor the safety and effectiveness of recombinant human IGF-I (rhIGF-I) (mecasermin (rDNA origin) injection; Increlex®) for short stature in children with SPIGFD, including those with Laron syndrome (LS).Objective: To report patient characteristics, effectiveness and safety data in clinically relevant patient subgroups.Methods: Data were compiled from this ongoin...

Background: The EU-IGFD registry comprises data for children with severe primary IGF-I deficiency (SPIGFD) receiving rhIGF-I (mecasermin [rDNA origin] injection; Increlex®) for growth failure.Objective: To report patient characteristics, effectiveness and safety data for children receiving rhIGF-I for SPIGFD and achieving AH.Methods: Patients from this ongoing observational study (NCT00903110) were included in analy...

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.<...

Background: The iNCGS Registry monitored long-term safety and effectiveness of NutropinAq® (Somatropin injection) for paediatric growth disorders.Objective: To report year-1 effectiveness and safety data from the iNCGS registry (NCT00455728).Methods: Open-label, non-interventional, post-marketing surveillance study, in seven European countries from October 2005–December 2016. Measurements included height Standa...

Background: Certain genetic defects in the growth hormone (GH)/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) axis are associated with severe primary IGF-1 deficiency (SPIGFD) and short stature. Detection of genetic defects may confirm short stature aetiology alongside clinical/biochemical features. Increlex® is a recombinant human IGF-1 (rhIGF-1) approved for children/adolescents with SPIGFD.Methods: The Increlex<...

Background: The European iNCGS registry aims to collect long-term safety and effectiveness information in paediatric patients receiving NutropinAq® for growth failure.Objective and hypotheses: To report patient baseline characteristics and exposure to NutropinAq® per country.Method: International, multicentre, open-label, non-interventional, post-marketing-surveillance study.Results: As of 31-Dec-20...
