Pre-Tx = Pre-treatment; SD = Standard Deviation; SDS = Standard Deviation Score
[1] P-values for comparison versus pre-Tx values are computed using paired t-tests.

Forty-nine subjects were included in an analysis of the effects of INCRELEX on bone age advancement. The mean ± SD change in chronological age was 4.9 ± 3.4 years and the mean ± SD change in bone age was 5.3 ± 3.4 years.

Brand Name: Increlex
