This is an extension study to Tercica study MS301 (NCT00125164) and is intended to collect long term safety and efficacy data on the continued use of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rh IGF-1) in children and adolescents treated for primary IGF-1 deficiency (IGFD). The secondary objective is to use the data collected to learn more about the relationship of IGF-1 exposure to the promotion of normal growth and pubertal development.
Primary IGFD is a term that has been used to describe patients with intrinsic cellular defects in GH action. In this protocol, subjects that have completed one year of mecasermin treatment on Tercica protocol MS301 (NCT00125164) will be allowed to enroll in this extension study. All subjects were planned to receive treatment. This is a Phase IIIb open-label, multi-center, parallel dose, extension study conducted in approximately 40 centers across the United States.

Patients from untreated arm for prior study MS301 (NCT00125164) were randomized to a dose of either 80 or 120 mcg/kg twice daily. For patients receiving active treatment in previous study MS 301 (NCT00125164), they started on a dose of 80 or 120 mcg/kg twice daily based on the dose reached at end of the previous study. Following a protocol amendment in May 2009, all patients were switched to once daily doses of 160 µg/kg, escalated to a targeted maximum dose of 240 µg/kg.

Height Velocity During BID Dosing Period
Height was measured standing, without shoes, as the average of 3 measurements by the same observer identical technique with a Harpenden or other wall-mounted stadiometer at baseline and each study visit up to 3 years. Height velocity (during any interval of time (annualised) is computed as (height on date 2 - height on date 1)/(age on date 2 - age on date 1) where height is expressed as centimetres so that height velocity is expressed as centimetres per year (cm/yr). Height velocity is presented for subjects completing each year of BID treatment (i.e. Year 1 \[0-1 years\], Year 2 \[1-2 years\], Year 3 \[2-3 years\]).
Time frame: At Years 1, 2 and 3 in BID dosing period.
Mean Change From Baseline in Height Standard Deviation (SD) Score During BID Dosing Period
Height was measured standing, without shoes, as the average of 3 measurements by the same observer using identical technique with a Harpenden or other wall-mounted stadiometer at baseline and each study visit up to 3 years. Height SD score was determined using the National Center for Health Statistics 2000 data as provided by the Center for Disease Control. The SD score was calculated as the patient value minus the mean divided by the standard deviation. The mean and the standard deviation vary depending on the age and sex of the child. Mean change from baseline in height SD score is presented for all subjects completing each year of BID treatment (i.e. Year 1 \[0-1 years\], Year 2 \[1-2 years\], Year 3 \[2-3 years\]).
Time frame: At baseline and Years 1, 2 and 3 in BID dosing period.
Mean Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) SD Score During BID Dosing Period
BMI SD score was calculated using the National Center for Health Statistics 2000 data as provided by the Center for Disease Control. The SD score was calculated as the patient value minus the mean divided by the standard deviation. The mean and the standard deviation vary depending on the age and sex of the child. Mean change from baseline in BMI SD score is presented for all subjects completing each year of BID treatment (i.e. Year 1 \[0-1 years\], Year 2 \[1-2 years\], Year 3 \[2-3 years\]).

Time frame: At baseline and Years 1, 2 and 3 in BID dosing period.
Mean Change From Baseline in Bone Age During BID Dosing Period
Radiographs of the left hand and wrist were taken on an approximately annual basis for determination of bone (skeletal) age. The films were sent to a central facility for standardised evaluation. Mean change from baseline in bone age is presented for all subjects completing each year of BID treatment (i.e. Year1 \[0-1 years\], Year 2 \[1-2 years\], Year 3 \[2-3 years\]).
Time frame: At baseline and Years 1, 2 and 3 in BID dosing period.
Mean Change From Baseline in Predicted Adult Height During BID Dosing Period
Predicted adult heights were estimated using the Roche-Wainer-Theissen method which takes into account changes in age, height and bone age. Mean change from baseline in predicted adult height is presented for all subjects completing each year of BID treatment (i.e. Year 1 \[0-1 years\], Year 2 \[1-2 years\], Year 3 \[2-3 years\]).
Time frame: At baseline and Years 1, 2 and 3 in BID dosing period.
