Medicine (Baltimore). 2020 Sep 25;99(39):e22389. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000022389. PMID: 32991460.In this relatively small study (6 placenta) the placentas from mothers of infants born large for gestational age (LGA) were compared to placentas of appropriate gestational age (AGA) infants for changes in genome wide DNA methylation. There were significant differences in the specific meth...

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...

Brief summary: This open-label extension trial enrolled all subjects completing the two previous phase 3 Lonapegsomatropin trials, heiGHt and fliGHt. The results confirm the efficacy of this LAGH formulation in improving height SDS, without major adverse events.Lonapegsomatropin is a long-acting GH consisting of 3 components: unmodified human GH (hGH), an inert glycol carrier, and a TransCon linker that transiently binds the other 2 components. The glyco...
