Abstract
In preterm infants, low levels of Insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) have been associated with impaired growth and retinopathy of prematurity. Our objective was to study safety and pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered rhIGF-I with its binding protein 3 (rhIGFBP-3) to preterm infants. At 3 days chronological age, an intravenous 3 hours infusion of rhIGF-I/rhIGFBP-3 was administered followed by serial measurements of IGF-I and IGFBP-3. Infants were evaluated for physiological safety measurements. The individual dose of rhIGF-I ranged from 1 to 12 mug/kg. The study was conducted at Queen Silvia Children's Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden, between January and November 2007. Five patients (3F) with mean (range) PMA 27 weeks (26-29) and... (More)

Infants were evaluated for physiological safety measurements. The individual dose of rhIGF-I ranged from 1 to 12 mug/kg. The study was conducted at Queen Silvia Children's Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden, between January and November 2007. Five patients (3F) with mean (range) PMA 27 weeks (26-29) and birth weight 1022 grams (810-1310) participated. IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels before infusion were median (range) 18 (12-28) and 771 (651-1047) ng/ml, respectively. Immediately after study drug infusion, serum IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels were 38 (25-59) and 838 (754-1182) ng/ml, respectively. Median (range) half-life for IGF-I and IGFBP-3 was 0.79 (0.59-1.42) and 0.87 (0.85-0.94) hours, respectively. Blood glucose, insulin, sodium, potassium and physiological safety measures were within normal ranges. The rhIGF-I/rhIGFBP-3 equimolar proportion was effective in increasing serum IGF-I levels and administration under these study conditions was safe and well tolerated. (Less)
