"This study evaluated the safety, local tolerability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a once-weekly drug candidate versus once-daily growth hormone in children with growth hormone deficiency. This phase 1 trial was conducted in 14 pediatric endocrinology clinics in eight countries. The drug candidate – somapacitan – is a growth hormone derivative that binds reversibly to albumin in the blood, resulting in an extended half-life and prolonged effects. Because of this, the frequency of administration of this medication can be reduced. Somapacitan is injected subcutaneously using a prefilled pen. Clinical trials in adults have suggested the feasibility of a once-weekly dosing regimen of somapacitan based on its PK/PD profile. However, no such study has been conducted for children with growth hormone deficiency. Until now. To evaluate its safety in children, researchers studied 32 boys and girls aged 6 to 13 with a confirmed diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency..."
