About this study

Official title: Treatment With Recombinant Human Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (rhIGF-1) in Patients With Pappalysin-2 (PAPP-A2) Gene Mutation.

With this study we want to investigate the pharmacokinetic (PK) effect of a single injection of rhIGF-1 in patients with PAPP-A2 mutations compared to heterozygous carriers and healthy controls. This will be followed by treatment of PAPP-A2 deficient patients with IGF-1 for a period of one-year to assess growth velocity. Additionally, we want to further describe the phenotypic characteristics of patients with PAPP-A2 deficiency.

Read the detailed description

The 24-hour pharmacokinetic response of free and total IGF-1 and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) to a single dose of rhIGF-1 (120 mcg/kg) in three patients with PAPP-A2 mutation compared to up to four unaffected heterozygous relatives and 2 healthy adult controls.

One-year trial of rhIGF-1 at standard dose given to the two youngest males with PAPP-A2 mutation. The primary end point of this trial will be first year height velocity. Secondary outcomes will include height standard deviation score (SDS), height velocity, and whole body and lumbar spine bone mineral density assessment. The study was amended to extend the treatment period to continue until the subject has stopped growing (or elects to withdraw). All study procedures remain the same. Important note: the treatment phase continues to follow the youngest affected male. The older affected male developed an adverse event that resulted in discontinuation of treatment.

A post-treatment follow up visit (either in-person or remote) will be completed for the study participant who remained on Increlex approximately one-year after their discontinuation of therapy.

Description of additional phenotypic characteristics of patients with PAPP-A2 mutation will be studied by collecting information on glucose and insulin metabolism, body composition, bone geometry and bone density before and after treatment with rhIGF-1. These measures will be collected at the 12-month time period, and every year thereafter until the completion of the study. All three affected siblings will take part in the phenotyping activities.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Height Velocity

    Height velocity in a patient with PAPP-A2 deficiency treated with rhIGF-1 for five years (when the patient elected to discontinue treatment after reviewing growth velocity and skeletal maturation). Ultimately only one patient was treated for the study duration with results reported, as the other recruited participant (sibling of the treated patient) experienced pseudotumor cerebri and discontinued treatment after 51 days. He nevertheless was followed, with height velocity also reported.

    Measured: Yearly until participant on treatment stops growing, or discontinues treatment (up to 6 years)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Height Standard Deviation Score

    Height Standard Deviation Score is the standard deviation above or below the mean the height is for age and gender. Values were obtained by plotting heights on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts. An increase in Height Standard Deviation Score correlates with increase in height. Results are reported for the participant with PAPP-A2 deficiency treated with rhIGF-1, as well as sibling who did not continue treatment with rhIGF-1.

    Measured: Annually until completion of study, up to 6 years

  2. Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Relationship

    Assess the PK/PD relationship (PD marker being IGFBP-3) annually while on treatment with rhIGF-1

    Measured: Yearly until completion of the study, up to 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Increlex in people with Short Stature, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Height Velocity (time frame: Yearly until participant on treatment stops growing, or discontinues treatment (up to 6 years)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02636270, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2024.
