Summary

This study is intended to determine whether twice daily weight based dosing with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor (rhIGF-1) will safely and effectively increase the growth of prepubertal children with short stature associated with low IGF-1 levels but who produce sufficient growth hormone (GH). Subjects will be randomized to either an observation arm or to active treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Chronological age ≥ 3 and chronological or bone age less than or equal to 11 years inclusive in girls;
  • Chronological age ≥ 3 and chronological or bone age less than or equal to 12 years inclusive for boys
  • Prepubertal
  • Height SD score of < -2
  • IGF-1 SD score of < -2

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior treatment with rhGH, rhIGF-1, or other growth-influencing medications
  • Growth failure associated with other identifiable causes (e.g., syndromes, chromosomal abnormality)
  • Chronic illness such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, etc.
