Objective: To understand whether characterization into definite growth hormone deficiency (dGHD; peak GH <8 ug/L and identifiable genetic, functional or anatomical cause), short stature unresponsive to stimulation test (SUS; peak GH <8 ug/L but without any identifiable cause) or idiopathic short stature (ISS; peak GH ≥8) can predict the near adult height (NAH) of prepubertal children treated with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH).<p class="a...

Objective: Somatrogon, a long-acting recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is approved as a once-weekly treatment for pediatric growth hormone deficiency (pGHD). This abstract describes the long-term efficacy and safety of somatrogon in patients with pGHD following up to 5 years of treatment in a global, Phase 3 study (NCT02968004).Methods: In the main study period, patients were randomized to receive either once-weekl...

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...
