E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | Yes |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
A) The objective of this study is to determine the dose of rhIGF-I/rhIGFBP-3 required to bring IGF-1 into the physiological range, defined as the in utero levels for corresponding gestational age in a normal population (20-50 µg/L), in ten premature (between 26 weeks ±0 days and 29 weeks +6 days gestation) infants.
B) To determine the pharmacokinetic behavior of intra-venously administered rhIGF-I.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
A) To determine the serum concentrations of intravenously administered rhIGFBP-3,
B) To evaluate safety parameters |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Signed informed consent from parents/guardians 2. Subject must be between 26 weeks ±0 days and 29 weeks +6 days at birth; 3. Weight at birth > - 2 SD and < + 2 SD based on z score for age and gender
|

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Present sepsis; 2. Detectable gross malformation; 3. Known or suspected chromosomal abnormality, genetic disorder, or syndrome, according to the investigator’s opinion; 4. IGF-I level ≥25 µg/L at study day 2; 5. Plasma glucose level <2.5 mmol/L or >10 mmol/L at study day 2; 6. Administration of insulin at any time during screening; 7. Administration of plasma later than 24 hours after birth; 8. Treatment with an experimental drug during screening; 9. Clinically significant neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, or other micro- or macrovascular disease requiring treatment, according to the investigator’s opinion. 10. Any other condition or therapy that, in the investigator’s opinion, may pose a risk to the subject or interfere with the subject’s ability to be compliant with this protocol or interfere with interpretation of results.
