A Low Incidence of Transient Anti-Drug Antibodies Is Observed Upon Long-Term Exposure to Lonapegsomatropin in Children With Growth Hormone Deficiency

Holse Mygind Per , Komirenko Allison , Mao Meng , Shu Aimee , Breinholt Vibeke M.

Objectives: Lonapegsomatropin (SKYTROFA; TransCon hGH), a prodrug of somatropin, is approved by the EMA and FDA for once-weekly treatment of pediatric growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Lonapegsomatropin uses TransCon® technology, which combines a parent drug transiently linked to an inert carrier to achieve sustained release. The characterization of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) was assessed in 3 phase 3 trials of lonapegsomatropin in pediatric GHD.Met...

Design of the foresiGHt Trial: A Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo- and Active-Controlled Trial to Compare Once-Weekly Lonapegsomatropin to Placebo and Daily Somatropin in Adults with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD)

Background: Adult GHD results from insufficient growth hormone (GH) secretion from the anterior pituitary gland and may represent either a continuation of childhood-onset GHD or GHD acquired during adulthood. Clinically, adult GHD is associated with central adiposity, decreased lean muscle mass, increased fat mass, decreased bone mineral density, and reduced quality of life. Current standard of care consists of GH replacement via daily injections. Lonapegsomatropin (SKYTROFA; ...

Background: Patients with hypoparathyroidism experience significant physical and cognitive symptoms and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Conventional therapy for hypoparathyroidism does not fully alleviate diminished HRQoL. The Hypoparathyroidism Patient Experience Scales (HPES) were developed to assess disease-specific physical and cognitive symptoms as well as the impact of hypoparathyroidsm on HRQol. TransCon PTH, an investigational long-acting prodrug of par...

BackgroundHypoparathyroidism is characterized by insufficient levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), resulting in hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypercalciuria, and a reduced quality of life (QoL). PTH replacement therapy should restore physiologic levels of PTH and restore downstream physiologic levels of calcitriol, promoting independence from Ca and active vitamin D supplements and normalization of QoL. TransCon PTH is an investigational long-acting p...

Background: Individuals with hypoparathyroidism often experience a range of symptoms associated with reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work productivity. Conventional therapy aims to alleviate hypocalcemia and acute symptoms but fails to restore normal parathyroid hormone (PTH) physiology or improve HRQoL. In the PaTHway trial, 79% of participants treated with TransCon PTH vs. 5% placebo (P<0.0001) met the primary efficacy endpoint (normal serum c...
