Global registry tracks safety of growth drug in kids
NCT ID NCT00903110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This global registry follows 500 children and teens with severe primary IGF-1 deficiency who are taking or will take Increlex® (mecasermin). The goal is to monitor long-term safety and side effects over at least 5 years after treatment ends. It is an observational study, meaning no new drug is being tested—just real-world data collection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mecasermin (Increlex®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry will provide crucial safety data on long-term use of Increlex® in children, helping doctors better manage treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results depend on real-world reporting and may not apply to all patients.
