Objectives: Somatrogon is a long-acting recombinant human growth hormone (GH) approved by the EMA as a once weekly treatment for children with pediatric GH deficiency (GHD). A global phase 3 study compared the efficacy and safety of once-weekly somatrogon with once-daily Genotropin in pediatric subjects with GHD. The objective of this subgroup analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-weekly somatrogon vs once-daily Genotropin in the subset of A...

Background: There are limited data available on the efficacy and safety of GH treatment in very young (<30 months) short children, born small for gestational age (SGA).Objectives: To determine the effect of 24 months of GH treatment on body height, BMI, and head growth as well as overall psychomotor development (using the Bayley Scale of Infant Development (BSID-II)) and demonstrate its safety in young (aged between 19 and 29 months) short SGA childr...

Objective: KIMS (Pfizer International Metabolic Survey) was a postmarketing surveillance study of growth hormone (GH) replacement in adults and adolescents with GH deficiency (GHD) that concluded in October 2012. This analysis aimed to evaluate the overall safety outcomes from the full cohort of GH-treated patients of KIMS.Methods: Data were collected on adults and adolescents with confirmed GHD and closed epiphyses trea...

Objective: KIGS (Pfizer International Growth Survey) was a large, international database of pediatric patients who received recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) as prescribed in real-world clinical settings. This analysis evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy data from all participants until KIGS close in 2012.Methods: Children with growth disorders and treated with rhGH (Genotropin® [somatropin]...

Objectives: Children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) are usually treated with once-daily injections of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). Somatrogon is a long-acting rhGH (LAGH) approved in the EU and other countries for once-weekly treatment of children with short stature. The Pfizer Registry of Outcomes in Growth hormone RESearch (PROGRES) study will assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of once-weekly somatrogon and once-daily rhGH prepar...
