Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

OBJECTIVES:

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of long term recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I in children with hyperinsulinism.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, cross-over study.

Patients are randomized to receive recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) or placebo subcutaneously twice daily for 4 weeks. After a 2 week washout period, patients are crossed over to the other regimen for an additional 4 weeks.
