A once-weekly growth hormone (GH) with an efficacy profile comparable to daily GH in children and adolescents from age 3 years with GH deficiency1,2Based on a 1-year, phase 3, noninferiority study, the efficacy of NGENLA demonstrated comparable to daily GH at 1 year (N=224)1,2

Graph created based on the primary results of the NGENLA phase III study2

Phase 3 Study Design

Open-label, multicenter, randomized, active-controlled, study in prepubertal children with GH deficiency to assess efficacy and safety of NGENLA once weekly versus GENOTROPIN® (somatropin) for injection once daily after 12 months of treatment.1,2

IGF-1 SDS profiles over the dosing interval (1 week) during 12 months of treatment with NGENLA2** The above graph is based on the measurement of IGF-1 SDS profiles over time reported in the phase 3 study.

IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor 1; SDS, standard deviation score.

5 years of efficacy data from an open-label extension of a phase 2 study.1,3

NGENLA delivered sustained growth up to 5 years of long-term use in children with GH deficiency3

Key findings over 5 years:

  • Annual height velocity indicated a sustained growth response3
  • Progressive gains in mean height SDS were achieved3
Phase 2 Extension Study Design

Phase 2, open-label, randomized, dose-finding, and safety study with yearly extension in prepubertal patients with GH deficiency. Fifty-three patients were randomized and treated with one of 3 doses of once weekly somatrogon (0.25 mg/kg/week [n=13], 0.48 mg/kg/week [n=15], or 0.66 mg/kg/week [n=14]) or GENOTROPIN administered once daily (0.034 mg/kg/day [n= 11]). Patients who completed 12 months of active treatment in the main study period remained eligible for inclusion in the open-label extension study. The open-label extension followed patients on NGENLA for up to 5 additional years; in years 2 and beyond, all patients were transitioned to NGENLA at 0.66 mg/kg/week.3,4
