The peak stimulated GH cut-off value for diagnostic criteria for GHD varies according to country-specific guidelines. The objective of this subgroup analysis of the pivotal phase 3 somatrogon study was to evaluate the primary and secondary efficacy endpoints for subjects with a peak GH value <6.7...
