Background: OPKO Biologics is a clinical-stage public company developing long-acting therapeutic proteins utilizing CTP technology. The technology involves fusion of the C-terminus peptide of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a highly O-glycosylated peptide, to the target protein. CTP enabled the production of a long-acting human growth hormone (hGH) (MOD-4023) that supports a single-weekly injection in growth hormone-deficient patients. MOD-4023 is manufactured as a non-vis...

Objective: Growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy currently requires daily injections. This may cause poor compliance, inconvenience and distress for patients. CTP-modified hGH (MOD-4023) has been developed for once-weekly administration in growth hormone deficient (GHD) adults and children. The 18 and 24 month efficacy of once-weekly subcutaneous (SC) administration of MOD-4023 was evaluated in a Phase 2 study in children with GH deficiency.Design and ...
