Safety and efficacy of somapacitan in adults with growth hormone deficiency who were switched from daily growth hormone therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Article

Author: Chatterjee, Subhankar ; Pappachan, Joseph M ; Dutta, Deep ; Kamrul-Hasan, A B M ; Nagendra, Lakshmi ; Ashraf, Ambika P

BACKGROUND:

The safety and efficacy of somapacitan, a novel long-acting growth hormone (GH) formulation, in adults with GH deficiency (GHD) remain insufficiently explored in systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SR/MA). We aimed to fill this knowledge gap.

METHODS:

Databases were searched to identify RCTs and real-world studies involving adults with GHD who had previously been treated with daily GH and switched to once-weekly somapacitan. The primary outcome was the risk of adverse events (AEs); additional outcomes included treatment satisfaction, body composition measures, and insulin-like growth factor-1 standard deviation scores (IGF-1 SDS).

RESULTS:

This SR/MA included five studies (N = 297); four RCTs (n = 286) with a daily GH comparator group were meta-analyzed. Compared to daily GH, somapacitan increased the risk of all AEs (RR 1.31, 95 % CI [1.07, 1.61], P = 0.01), but not the risk of serious AEs or other specific AEs. Glucose homeostasis was less affected by somapacitan, indicated by a lesser increment in HbA1c in the somapacitan group and larger increases in fasting insulin and HOMA-IR in the daily GH group. The convenience score increased more with somapacitan, while effectiveness and satisfaction scores changed similarly in both groups. No differences in body composition changes were observed, but somapacitan improved lumbar spine bone mineral content and density in one study. By the end, IGF-1 SDS values were comparable (MD -0.05 [-0.24, 0.15], P = 0.64).

CONCLUSION:

Somapacitan is as effective as daily GH in treating adults with GHD, with a reasonable safety profile and modest benefits for glucose homeostasis, as well as treatment convenience.

Budget impact analysis of skytrofa for the treatment of pediatric growth hormone deficiency in a US health plan

Article

Author: Noori, Wahidullah ; Raveendran, Subhara ; Kleintjens, Joris ; Miner, Paul ; Boller, Emily ; Smith, Alden

BACKGROUND:

Daily administration of growth hormone (GH) can be challenging for patients with pediatric growth hormone deficiency (pGHD) and their caregivers. Lonapegsomatropin, a prodrug of somatropin, is administered once weekly and designed to provide sustained release of active, unmodified somatropin. International guidelines recognize the burden associated with daily injections and suggest long-acting GH to improve adherence and outcomes. The design of the auto-injector for lonapegsomatropin results in zero medication wastage leading to potential cost savings.

OBJECTIVE:

To estimate the budget impact to a US health plan of introducing lonapegsomatropin to a market with existing daily and weekly GH treatments and to identify possible cost savings associated with its use.

METHODS:

The budget impact model (BIM) was developed to compare the costs associated with two hypothetical scenarios for pediatric pGHD: one without lonapegsomatropin, where daily and weekly GHs are available, and one with lonapegsomatropin introduced to the market alongside daily and weekly GHs. The model combined per-patient costs with expected market shares for GHs to estimate the total financial expenditure for both scenarios over a five-year period, simulating costs for a US payer covering one million lives. This analysis included daily somatropin, and weekly somatrogon and somapacitan, as comparators.

RESULTS:

The introduction of lonapegsomatropin resulted in a cumulative total saving of $959,629 over a 5-year time horizon, with cost savings of $40,314 in Year 1, increasing to $373,258 in Year 5. The estimated average cost savings were $3,283 per patient per month (PPPM) and $0.08 per member per month (PMPM). Scenario and sensitivity analyses demonstrated that the cost-savings with lonapegsomatropin are robust across various assumptions, including alternative market share and dosing scenarios. The primary drivers of the cost reduction were decreased acquisition costs for daily somatropin and the elimination of wastage for weekly GHs.

CONCLUSIONS:

The inclusion of lonapegsomatropin in the formulary of a US health plan can result in a significant reduction in total costs for the plan.

Seven-year Safety and Efficacy of Somapacitan in Children With GH Deficiency: Final Results From REAL 3

Article

Author: Saenger, Paul ; Battelino, Tadej ; Horikawa, Reiko ; Silverman, Lawrence ; Leunbach, Tina ; Højby, Michael ; Sävendahl, Lars

Abstract:

Background:

Somapacitan is a once-weekly GH treatment that has shown efficacy and safety profiles equivalent to daily GH in children with GH deficiency (GHD).

Objective:

To investigate long-term safety, efficacy, and treatment burden associated with somapacitan after 7 years (364 weeks) of treatment.

Methods:

REAL 3 (NCT02616562) was a phase 2, randomized, open-label trial investigating the efficacy and safety of somapacitan vs daily GH in children with GHD. After 156 weeks, participants entered a 208-week safety extension. Children in cohort I (age 2.5-10.0 years) previously completed 3 years in the trial; cohort II (age <2.5 years) and cohort III (age 9.0-17.0 years) entered the trial at week 156 for safety-only assessment. All participants received somapacitan 0.16 mg/kg/week. Height velocity (HV), HV SD score (SDS), height SDS, IGF-I SDS, incidence of adverse events (AEs), and treatment burden were assessed.

Results:

Overall, 43 participants (73%) in cohort I, 1 participant (100%) in cohort II, and 11 participants (69%) in cohort III completed the 208-week safety extension. Consistent increments in HV and HV SDS were seen in cohort I, and height SDSs at week 364 were close to 0. The incidence of AEs was aligned with previous investigations across all cohorts; 3 serious AEs in cohort I were considered probably/possibly related to treatment. Treatment burden was reduced in children who switched from daily GH to somapacitan.

Conclusion:

After 7 years of treatment, children with GHD receiving somapacitan experienced consistent increases in height SDS and reduced treatment burden. No new safety concerns were identified.

Novo heads to regulators after Sogroya matches predecessor Norditropin in 3 pediatric growth disorders

The FDA first approved Sogroya in August 2020 as a once-weekly treatment for adult growth hormone deficiency. The drug’s label was expanded to include children in April 2023. With a late-stage trial win for its Norditropin heir in hand, Novo Nordisk is making good on plans to boost its profile in the realm of rare disease.Over the weekend, Novo unveiled data from the phase 3 Real8 study, which found that the company’s once-weekly human growth hormone analogue Sogroya was largely on par with its daily predecessor, Norditropin, in a trio of growth disorders in kids.At the basket study’s 52-week mark, Sogroya—first approved in 2020—proved noninferior to Norditropin at improving yearly growth rate in prepubescent children with idiopathic short stature (ISS).Meanwhile, Sogroya demonstrated superiority over Novo’s daily growth hormone in children with Noonan syndrome (NS) and in children born small for gestational age (SGA) when compared to a lower Norditropin dose.When pitted against a higher dose of its growth hormone predecessor in SGA, Sogroya’s efficacy was noninferior, Novo explained in its Monday release.Sogroya was well tolerated in the study, and no new safety flags cropped up that diverged from Norditropin’s long-established profile, the company added.Sogroya’s performance in Real8 allowed the first three sub-studies to meet their primary endpoints. Leveraging data from Real8 and Real9, Novo said it has already filed for approval of Sogroya in SGA, NS and ISS with regulators in the U.S. and Europe.Novo’s Real8 program is also testing Sograya’s mettle in Turner syndrome, though those data won’t arrive until “later this year,” the company said. The FDA first approved Sogroya in August 2020 as a once-weekly treatment for adult growth hormone deficiency. The drug’s label was expanded to include children in April 2023.Sogroya is meant to succeed Novo’s once-a-day growth hormone Norditropin, which has now been on the market for decades. Eli Lilly, Merck & Co. and Pfizer all sell their own daily growth disorder drugs, while newer meds like Ascendis’ Skytrofa and Pfizer’s Ngenla are challenging Sogroya directly on the weekly-dosing front.Novo lumps sales of Norditropin and Sogroya together into its rare endocrine disorders category, which grew sales 31% in 2024 to roughly 5 billion Danish kroner ($745 million).Analytics firm GlobalData has forecast Sogroya will hit $294 million in 2030 sales and expects Norditropin to reach $960 million in sales that same year. The Sogroya results have likely bolstered Novo’s confidence in rare disease, where the company has been playing a “long endgame” since the late 2010s, Ludovic Helfgott, the company’s executive vice president of rare disease, said in a March interview with Fierce Pharma.Aside from drugs for growth disorders like Norditropin and Sogroya, Novo’s rare disease pedigree includes treatments for blood disorders like Esperoct, NovoEight or the recently approved daily hemophilia injection Alhemo, Helfgott explained.Novo plans to stick to those two major disease areas—growth and blood disorders—as it presses forward in the field.“It’s our core, and we will continue to develop this both internally and externally,” Helfgott said.

Once-weekly Sogroya® (somapacitan) is an efficacious and well-tolerated long-acting growth hormone in children with growth disorders: results from REAL8 phase 3 basket study presented at the joint Congress of ESPE and ESE

BAGSVAERD, Denmark I 12 May 2025 I Novo Nordisk today presented data from the phase 3 REAL8 basket study, which showed that once-weekly Sogroya ® (somapacitan) was non-inferior to the once-daily growth hormone Norditropin ® (somatropin) in improving yearly growth rate (as measured by height velocity [HV] at Week 52) in pre-pubertal children born small for gestational age (SGA) 1 , or with Noonan syndrome (NS) 2 , or with idiopathic short stature (ISS) 3 . In addition, superiority was achieved for once-weekly Sogroya ® versus daily growth hormone in children with NS 2 , as well as compared to lower doses of daily growth hormone in children born SGA 1 . REAL8 data showed that Sogroya ® was well-tolerated, with no safety or tolerability issues identified compared to once daily growth hormone 1-3 . Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) response in patients treated with once-weekly Sogroya ® was similar to those treated with daily growth hormone 1-3 . Results from the Turner syndrome (TS) sub-study of REAL8 will be available later this year. These data were presented as three late-breaking abstracts at the first Joint Congress of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) in Copenhagen, Denmark 1-3 . “Children with growth failure face many health challenges beyond just being shorter than their peers. They often have metabolic disruptions and developmental difficulties that can seriously affect their wellbeing and quality of life, as well as long-term effects such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes,” said Professor Agnès Linglart, Professor of Paediatrics at the Bicêtre Paris-Saclay University and Hospital, France, and one of the lead investigators on REAL8. “The REAL8 data presented today marks an important step forward in providing these patients with an effective, once-weekly option that can potentially reduce treatment burden and improve adherence and treatment outcomes.” The REAL8 trial achieved its primary endpoints for the first three sub-studies, demonstrating that once-weekly Sogroya ® was non-inferior to once-daily growth hormone treatment at Week 52 across the three indications presented: Non-adherence to growth hormone treatment is a common problem which puts successful treatment outcomes at risk. Daily injections can be a burden for children and their caregivers, leading to lack of adherence due to discomfort or pain at injection sites, inconvenience and disruption to daily life 5 . One study showed that missed daily injections resulted in a difference of 6.1 cm in height over 3 years when comparing nonadherent with adherent patients 4 . “Treatment adherence is an issue when it comes to improving outcomes in children with growth failure. Imagine if a child misses only one day of treatment each week, amounting to 52 missed days per year. Over a seven-year treatment window, this results in one year of missed treatment and can have a significant knock-on impact on their health,” said Martin Lange, executive vice president for Development at Novo Nordisk. “We are committed to providing a portfolio of growth hormone therapies with flexibility in administration timing and missed doses, which may better suit the needs of children with growth failure. These encouraging results from REAL8 mark a significant step forward in achieving that commitment.” In April 2025, based on the data from REAL8 and REAL9, the three indications (SGA, NS and ISS) were submitted for regulatory review in both the EU and US. About REAL8 The REAL8 study is part of the ongoing REAL clinical trial programme, it is a randomised, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group, phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of once-weekly Sogroya ® (somapacitan) in children born SGA, or with TS, NS or ISS. The primary treatment period was 52 weeks followed by a two-year safety extension phase 6 . REAL8 has an innovative basket trial design that is investigating once-weekly Sogroya ® (somapacitan) in four different but related indications (SGA, TS, NS and ISS) under one trial protocol 6 . This trial design allows for a more efficient clinical development process by speeding up recruitment and consolidating resources 7 , potentially bringing treatment to patients with these conditions sooner. This is the first time a trial design of this type has been implemented in the growth disorder space. In REAL8, pre-pubertal children with NS, TS or ISS were randomised to receive either once-weekly Sogroya ® (somapacitan) 0.24 mg/kg/week or once-daily somatropin 0.050 mg/kg/day; children born SGA were randomised to receive either somapacitan 0.24 mg/kg/week, or low dose of somatropin 0.035 mg/kg/day, or high dose of somatropin 0.067 mg/kg/day 6 . About REAL9 The REAL9 study is part of the ongoing REAL clinical trial programme, it is a single-group assignment, phase 3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of once-weekly Sogroya ® (somapacitan) in children 10 years or older born SGA, or with TS, NS or ISS. The study will last for approximately 3 years 8 . About once-weekly Sogroya ® Once-weekly Sogroya ® (somapacitan) is a prescription human growth hormone analogue, similar to current daily growth hormone. It is currently approved for once-weekly treatment of children and adults who do not produce enough growth hormone 9,10 . Using albumin-binding prolongation technology, Sogroya ® attaches to albumin, a protein in the blood, to help delay its removal from the body. This well-established technology has been used for over 20 years in Novo Nordisk’s diabetes treatment. It allows for the growth hormone to work longer 11 .
