Physician experience with once-weekly somatrogon versus once-daily rhGH regimen in pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency: a cross-sectional survey of physicians from the global phase 3 study [PDF]
IntroductionThe standard of care for pediatric growth hormone deficiency (pGHD) is once-daily recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). Somatrogon, a long-acting rhGH, requires less frequent, once-weekly, dosing.

Comparing the efficacy and safety of weekly somatrogon with daily somatropin in Asian children living with growth hormone deficiency: a plain language summary of publication [PDF]
Summary Key takeaways Children living with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) are usually treated with daily injections of a growth hormone called somatropin to help them grow normally. Somatrogon is a growth hormone treatment that only needs to be injected

Understanding the burden of weekly somatrogon injections compared with daily somatropin injections in children with growth hormone deficiency: a plain language summary of publication [PDF]
• For children with growth hormone deficiency, once-weekly somatrogon injections were less of a burden than once-daily somatropin injections. • The safety of weekly somatrogon was similar to that of daily somatropin .

Comparing the efficacy and safety of weekly somatrogon with daily somatropin to treat children with growth hormone deficiency: a plain language summary of publication [PDF]
• The efficacy of weekly somatrogon injections was no different from that of daily somatropin injections to treat children who don’t make enough growth hormone to grow adequately. ○ Efficacy refers to how well a drug works in a clinical trial. ○ Children

Implementing a Bayesian approach using Stan with Torsten: Population pharmacokinetics analysis of somatrogon. [PDF]
AbstractFully Bayesian approaches are not commonly implemented for population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling. In this paper, we evaluate the use of Stan with R and Torsten for population PK modeling of somatrogon, a recombinant long‐acting growth hormone approved for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency.
