Abstract
AIM: To report effects of weight-based recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (rhIGF-I) on IGF axis parameters in children with hyperinsulinism. METHODS: Open label trial with subcutaneous rhIGF-I (40 microg/kg/dose). Patients studied were children (1 month to 11 years) with diffuse hyperinsulinism (n = 7). Serial serum IGF and insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) concentrations were measured by RIA and analyzed by linear Pearson regression. RESULTS: Following the initial rhIGF-I dose, total insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) rose by 56% at 30 min (p < 0.01) and 85% at 120 min (p < 0.02). Serum IGF-II, IGFBP-2, and IGFBP-3 levels did not change. Peak serum IGF-I levels within 12 h of the initial rhIGF-I dose were 167-700 mg/ml. The variable peak IGF-I response is attributable in part to IGFBP-3 differences across this pediatric age range. Models of rhIGF-I dosing based upon body surface area (BSA) or initial IGFBP-3 resulted in predictable peak serum IGF-I levels (r = 0.78; p < 0.03). Recalculating rhIGF-I dosing based upon the BSA . IGFBP-3 product correlated closely with peak IGF-I level (r = 0.85; p < 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: Weight-based IGF-I dosing in this cohort resulted in variable IGF-I levels. Considering BSA and serum IGFBP-3 concentration in children is appropriate for subcutaneous IGF-I administration. A combination of these values may yield predictable individualization of rhIGF-I dosing.
