J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2021. 106(11): p. 3184-3195. PMID: 34272849Brief Summary: This randomized, open-label, controlled, phase 3 trial compared the effects of once-weekly long-acting GH lonapegsomatropin versus daily GH in GHD children over a period of 52 weeks. Efficacy was evaluated by height velocity (HV) and height gain from baseline to end. The long-acting formulation showed not only non-inferiority but also superior efficacy compared to...
