6.1.5. Mecasermin – INCRELEX (CAP)<br />
<br />
Evaluation of a PSUSA procedure<br />
Regulatory details:<br />
PRAC Rapporteur: Kirsti Villikka (FI)<br />
Administrative details:<br />
Procedure number(s): EMEA/H/C/000704/PSUSA/01942/201408<br />
MAH(s): Ipsen Pharma<br />
Background<br />
Mecasermin is a human insulin-like growth factor-1 (rhIGF-1) produced by recombinant DNA<br />
technology indicated for the long-term treatment of growth failure in children and adolescents from 2<br />
to 18 years under certain conditions.<br />
Based on the assessment of the PSUR, the PRAC reviewed the benefit-risk balance of Increlex, a<br />
centrally authorised medicine containing mecasermin, and issued a recommendation on its marketing<br />
authorisation(s).<br />
Summary of recommendation(s) and conclusions<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Based on the review of the data on safety and efficacy, the risk-benefit balance of Increlex<br />
(mecasermin) in the approved indication(s) remains favourable.<br />
Nevertheless, the product information should be updated to add to the current warning on<br />
slipped capital femoral epiphysis the possible occurrence of avascular necrosis. Therefore the<br />
current terms of the marketing authorisation(s) should be varied 13 .<br />
In the next PSUR, the MAH should continue to monitor and discuss further cases of melanocytic<br />
naevus, dysplastic naevus syndrome, proliferative retinopathy, thyroid neoplasm, endocarditis,<br />
ventricular hypertrophy, loss of consciousness, autoimmune nephritis, clonus and adenoidal<br />
hypertrophy, and lack of efficacy.<br />
The MAH should be requested to update the relevant sections of the RMP in accordance with<br />
the revised warning on slipped capital femoral epiphysis in the next regulatory procedure<br />
affecting the RMP.<br />
The next PSUR should be submitted in accordance with the requirements set out in the list of Union<br />
reference dates (EURD list) provided for under Article 107c(7) of Directive 2001/83/EC.<br />
