Mecasermin (INN, brand name Increlex) is recombinant human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) which is used for the long-term treatment of growth failure in children with severe primary IGF-I deficiency.^[1][2]

This drug is not to be confused with mecasermin rinfabate (trade name: Iplex), which is the binary complex of recombinant human IGF-1 (rhIGF-1) and the binding protein that IGF-1 is naturally adhered to in the human body.
