The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of mecasermin (the study drug) in children with growth failure due to severe Primary insulin-like growth factor-1 deficiency (Primary IGFD).

Annualized Height Velocity Up to 12 Years
Height velocity is the difference between 2 height measurements, divided by years elapsed between measurements.
Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose) and up to 12 years
Number of Naive Participants With Height Velocity <5 cm/y at the End of 1 Year of Study Treatment
Height measurements were performed using wall-mounted stadiometers for analysis of growth data.
Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose) and 1 year
Height Velocity Standard Deviation Score Up to 12 Years
Center for disease control growth charts from the US were used as reference for age and gender-dependent mean and standard deviation. Height velocity-standard deviation score was calculated as height velocity minus reference mean height velocity divided by standard deviation of the reference mean height velocity. Greater height velocity standard deviation score indicates better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose) and up to 12 years
Height Standard Deviation Score Up to 12 Years
Center for disease control growth charts from the US were used as reference for age and gender-dependent mean and standard deviation. Height standard deviation score was calculated as height minus reference mean height divided by standard deviation of the reference mean height. A higher height standard deviation score indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose) and up to 12 years
Approximate Increase in Height Over Expected for Naïve Participants With Near-Adult Height
Height measurements were performed using wall-mounted stadiometers for analysis of growth data.
Time frame: Baseline (Pre-dose) and up to 19 years
