Purpose of study |
This study is intended to evaluate the ability of rhIGF-1GFBP-3 to demonstrate the change from baseline in height velocity in pre-pubertal children with growth hormone insensitivity syndrome and to evaluate the safety profile of extended treatment with rhIGF-1/GFBP-3. |
Primary outcomes |
Primary efficacy measure -change in height velocity from baseline |
Secondary outcomes |
Secondary efficacy/safety measures - changes from baseline in auxology 9standing/sitting height, and head circumference); pubertal stage; bone age; mass index; safety and tolerability |
Summary of study design, objectives, and ongoing research findings |
This study is an open-label, multi-center clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of insulin-like growth factor 1 / insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (rhIGF -1 / GFBP-3) administered for 12 months in children and adolescents with growth hormone insensitivity syndrome such as Laron syndrome. |
