Background: TransCon GH is a novel sustained-release recombinant human GH (somatropin) prodrug in development for children with GH deficiency (GHD). It is designed to release unmodified GH and intended to provide comparable efficacy, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity to daily GH with once-weekly dosing. Based on results from a phase 2 trial, which demonstrated comparable efficacy (annualized height velocity for TransCon 0.21 mg GH/kg per week of 12.9 cm/year vs 11.6 cm/...

Background: TransCon hGH is a sustained-release prodrug in development as a long-acting GH for children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). TransCon hGH consists of a parent drug, growth hormone (hGH; somatropin), that is transiently bound to a carrier via a TransCon linker. The carrier extends hGH circulation time in the body and fully active hGH is released over one week at physiologic pH and temperature. Unlike other molecules in development, TransCon hGH...

Lonapegsomatropin (TransCon hGH) is an investigational once-weekly prodrug of somatropin for the treatment of GHD. Previous trials in treatment-naïve (52-week heiGHt Trial) and treatment-experienced children (26-week fliGHt Trial) have reported the efficacy and safety of lonapegsomatropin. Subjects were eligible to enter the open-label extension enliGHten Trial, which continues to evaluate weekly lonapegsomatropin in pediatric GHD. In heiGHt, treatment-naïve subjects...
