Primary Outcome Measures:

Increase in height velocity over the study period [ Time Frame: 34, 52 and 86 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Changes in serum concentration of insulin-like growth factor binding-1 (IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, IGFBP-3) and acid labile subunit (ALS) [ Time Frame: 34, 52 and 86 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Changes in height standard deviation (SD) score over one year [ Time Frame: 34, 52 and 86 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Changes in bone age over one year [ Time Frame: One year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
rhIGF-1 doses required to achieve the serum IGF-1 targets with measures taken at each study visit [ Time Frame: 34, 52 and 86 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Study Start Date:	July 2005
Estimated Study Completion Date:	March 2009

once a day rhIGF-1 injections

Detailed Description:

Growth failure associated with primary IGF-1 deficiency (IGFD). Primary IGFD is a term that has been used to describe patients with intrinsic cellular defects in growth hormone (GH) action. In this protocol, primary IGFD is defined as short stature (<-2 standard deviations [SDs] below the mean for age and gender), and abnormal serum IGF-1 (<-2 SDs below the mean for age and gender).

The trial is an open-label, concentration-controlled trial conducted at up to 20 centers throughout the United States.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	3 Years and older

Exclusion Criteria:

Prior treatment with GH, IGF-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.
