Sogroya®: 10 years of combined long-term exposure in pediatric GHD patients

Based on combined data from the REAL3, dose-finding, phase 2 trial, and REAL4 phase 3 trial in GHD pediatric patients.c

cREAL3 was a phase 2, randomized, open-label, dose-finding trial investigating the efficacy and safety of somapacitan vs daily GH in children with GHD. A total of 43 out of the 59 participants (aged 2.5 to 10 years) completed the long-term safety extension period (Week 364; Year 7), 10 of whom received daily GH from the start of the trial up to Week 156, and then switched to somapacitan 0.16 mg/kg/wk (switched group), and 33 of whom received somapacitan throughout the trial. REAL4 was a randomized, multi-national, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group, phase 3 trial. The REAL4 main trial phase (Week 0 to Week 52) was followed by an ongoing 3-year, single-group, safety extension phase (Week 52 to Week 208) featuring 194 patients of whom 188 completed 156 weeks of treatment.
