Summary

The purpose of this study is to pilot the use of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) treatment in 22q13 Deletion Syndrome (Phelan-McDermid Syndrome) caused by SHANK3 gene deficiency in order to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy. IGF-1 is an injection under the skin that contains human IGF-1. IGF-1 is approved by the FDA under the brand name Increlex for the treatment of children with short stature due to primary IGF-1 deficiency. It is being used off-label in the current study and is not FDA approved, nor has it yet been studied in humans for the treatment of SHANK3 deficiency.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 5 to 12 years old
  • pathogenic deletions or mutations of the SHANK3 gene
  • stable medication regimens for at least three months prior to enrollment

Exclusion Criteria

  • closed epiphyses
  • active or suspected neoplasia
  • intracranial hypertension
  • hepatic insufficiency
  • renal insufficiency
  • cardiomegaly / valvulopathy
  • history of allergy to IGF-1 or any component of the formulation (mecasermin)
  • history of extreme prematurity (<1000 grams) with associated early neo-natal complications, e.g. intra-cerebral hemorrhage, prolonged hypoxia, prolonged hypoglycemia
  • patients with comorbid conditions deemed too medically compromised to tolerate the risk of experimental treatment with IGF-1
