INCRELEX (mecasermin)
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) agents are recombinant endocrine therapies, primarily represented by mecasermin, designed to replace deficient endogenous IGF-1.
These agents function as agonists at the type 1 IGF receptor (IGF-1R), activating downstream intracellular signaling pathways that stimulate systemic mitogenesis, chondrocyte proliferation at growth plates, and protein anabolism.
Clinically, they are indicated for the long-term management of severe growth failure in pediatric patients with primary IGF-1 deficiency—such as growth hormone insensitivity syndromes like Laron syndrome—or those with growth hormone gene deletions who have formed neutralizing antibodies to growth hormone therapy.
