Availability & biosimilar status
Biologics have no small-molecule generics; biosimilar competition is tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
Why the date isn’t exact: Biosimilar timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added or removed, and litigation can move the real date earlier or later.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Biologic patent
- A patent the reference product’s maker has publicly listed. A biosimilar generally can’t launch until these expire — unless they’re invalidated or resolved in a settlement.
- Reference-product exclusivity
- A flat 12 years of FDA market protection from the biologic’s first licensure (the BPCIA). No biosimilar can be licensed before it ends, regardless of patents.
- Interchangeable exclusivity
- The first interchangeable biosimilar can earn a period as the only interchangeable version (pharmacists can substitute it without the prescriber).
- Earliest biosimilar (LOE)
- The latest of all the dates above — the soonest a biosimilar can realistically reach the market. Litigation and settlements can move it earlier.
Biologics have no small-molecule “generics” — competition comes from FDA-licensed biosimilars, tracked in the FDA Purple Book.
| Code | What it grants | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| RefProduct | Reference-product exclusivity (12-year, BPCIA) — no biosimilar can be licensed before this date | Aug 28, 2032 |

Systemic hypersensitivity reactions have been reported postmarketing with somatropin [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . • Pediatric patients with closed epiphyses. • Active malignancy [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. • Active proliferative or severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. • Pediatric patients with Prader-Willi syndrome who are severely obese, have a history of upper airway obstruction or sleep apnea or have severe respiratory impairment due to risk of sudden death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.13 )] . • Acute critical illness ( 4 ) • Active malignancy ( 4 ) • Hypersensitivity to somapacitan-beco or excipients ( 4 ) • Active proliferative or severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( 4 ) • Closed epiphyses in children used for longitudinal growth promotion ( 4 ) • Children with Prader-Willi syndrome who are severely obese or have severe respiratory impairment due to risk of sudden death ( 4 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Severe Hypersensitivity : Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic reactions and angioedema, may occur. In the event of an allergic reaction, seek prompt medical attention. ( 5.2 ) • Increased Risk of Neoplasm : Monitor patients with preexisting tumors for progression or recurrence.
Increased risk of a second neoplasm in childhood cancer survivors treated with somatropin – in particular meningiomas in patients treated with radiation to the head for their first neoplasm. ( 5.3 ) • Glucose Intolerance and Diabetes Mellitus : SOGROYA may decrease insulin sensitivity, particularly at higher doses. Monitor glucose levels periodically in all patients receiving SOGROYA, especially in patients with existing diabetes mellitus or at risk for its development.
( 5.4 ) • Intracranial Hypertension (IH) : Perform fundoscopic examinations prior to initiation and periodically thereafter. If papilledema is identified prior to initiation, evaluate the etiology and treat the underlying cause before initiating. If papilledema occurs with SOGROYA, stop treatment.
( 5.5 ) • Fluid Retention : Was observed and may be dose dependent. Reduce dose as necessary. ( 5.6 ) • Hypoadrenalism : Monitor patients for reduced serum cortisol levels and/or need for glucocorticoid dose increases in those with known hypoadrenalism.
( 5.7 ) • Hypothyroidism : Monitor thyroid function periodically as hypothyroidism may occur or worsen after initiation of SOGROYA. ( 5.8 ) • Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis in Pediatric Patients : May develop. Evaluate children with the onset of a limp or persistent hip/knee pain.
( 5.9 ) • Progression of Preexisting Scoliosis in Pediatric Patients : May develop. ( 5.10 ) • Pancreatitis : Consider pancreatitis in patients with persistent severe abdominal pain. ( 5.11 ) • Lipohypertrophy/lipoatrophy : May occur if SOGROYA is administered in the same location over a long period of time.
Rotate injection sites on a regular basis. ( 5.12 )
5.1Increased Mortality in Patients with Acute Critical Illness Increased mortality has been reported after treatment with somatropin in patients with acute critical illness due to complications following open-heart surgery, abdominal surgery and multiple accidental trauma, as well as patients with acute respiratory failure [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . The safety of continuing SOGROYA treatment in patients receiving replacement doses for approved indications who concurrently develop these illnesses has not been established.
SOGROYA is not indicated for the treatment of non-GH deficient adults.
5.2Severe Hypersensitivity Serious systemic hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylactic reactions and angioedema have been reported with postmarketing use of somatropin. Inform patients and/or caregivers that such reactions are possible, and that prompt medical attention should be sought if an allergic reaction occurs. SOGROYA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to somatropin or any excipients in SOGROYA [see Contraindications ( 4 )].
5.3Increased Risk of Neoplasms Active Malignancy There is an increased risk of malignancy progression with somatropin treatment in patients with active malignancy [see Contraindications ( 4 )] . Any preexisting malignancy should be inactive, and its treatment complete prior to instituting therapy with SOGROYA. Discontinue SOGROYA if there is evidence of recurrent activity.
Risk of Second Neoplasm in Pediatric Patients In childhood cancer survivors who were treated with radiation to the brain/head for their first neoplasm and who developed subsequent growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and were treated with somatropin, an increased risk of second neoplasm has been reported. Intracranial tumors, in particular meningiomas, were the most common of these second neoplasms. Monitor all patients with a history of GHD secondary to an intracranial neoplasm while on somatropin therapy for progression or recurrence of the… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Table 7 includes a list of drugs with clinically important drug interactions when administered concomitantly with SOGROYA and instructions for preventing or managing them. Table 7. Clinically Important Drug Interactions with SOGROYA Replacement Glucocorticoid Treatment Clinical Impact: Microsomal enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD-1) is required for conversion of cortisone to its active metabolite, cortisol, in hepatic and adipose tissue.
GH inhibits 11βHSD-1. Consequently, individuals with untreated GH deficiency have relative increases in 11βHSD-1 and serum cortisol. Initiation of SOGROYA may result in inhibition of 11βHSD-1 and reduced serum cortisol concentrations.
Intervention: Patients treated with glucocorticoid replacement for hypoadrenalism may require an increase in their maintenance or stress doses following initiation of SOGROYA [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )]. Examples: Cortisone acetate and prednisone may be affected more than others because conversion of these drugs to their biologically active metabolites is dependent on the activity of 11βHSD-1. Cytochrome P450-Metabolized Drugs Clinical Impact: Limited published data indicate that GH treatment increases cytochrome P450 (CP450)-mediated antipyrine clearance.
SOGROYA may alter the clearance of compounds known to be metabolized by CP450 liver enzymes. Intervention: Careful monitoring is advisable when SOGROYA is administered in combination with drugs metabolized by CP450 liver enzymes. Oral Estrogen Clinical Impact: Oral estrogens may reduce the serum IGF-1 response to SOGROYA.
Intervention: Patients receiving oral estrogen replacement may require higher SOGROYA dosages [see Dosage and Administration (2.5 )] . Insulin and/or Other Hypoglycemic Agents Clinical Impact: Treatment with SOGROYA may decrease insulin sensitivity, particularly at higher doses. Intervention: Patients with diabetes mellitus may require adjustment of their doses of insulin and/or other hypoglycemic agents [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )]. • Replacement Glucocorticoid Treatment : Patients treated with glucocorticoid for hypoadrenalism may require an increase in their maintenance or stress doses following initiation of SOGROYA.
( 7 ) • Cytochrome P450-Metabolized Drugs : SOGROYA may alter the clearance. Monitor carefully if used with SOGROYA. ( 7 ) • Oral Estrogen : Larger doses of SOGROYA may be required.
( 7 ) • Insulin and/or Other Antihyperglycemic Agents : Dose adjustment of insulin or antihyperglycemic agent may be required. ( 5.4 , 7 )
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on the use of SOGROYA during pregnancy; however, published studies describing the use of short-acting recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) during pregnancy over several decades have not identified any drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, subcutaneously administered somapacitan-beco was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits during organogenesis at doses approximately 12 times the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 mg/week.
No adverse developmental outcomes were observed in a pre- and post-natal development study with administration of somapacitan-beco to pregnant rats from organogenesis through lactation at approximately 275 times the clinical exposure at the MRHD (see Data) . The background risk of birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, somapacitan-beco was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 2, 6, and 18 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 6 to 17. Fetal viability and development were not affected at doses up to 6 mg/kg/day (31 times the MRHD, based on AUC). Transient, fetal skeletal variations (short/bent/thickened long bones) were observed at 18 mg/kg/day (261 times the MRHD, based on AUC).
In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, somapacitan-beco was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 1, 3, and 9 mg/kg every two days during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 6 to 18. Fetal viability and development were not adversely affected at somapacitan-beco dose of 1 mg/kg/every two days (12 times the MRHD, based on AUC). Reduced fetal growth was observed at doses ≥3 mg/kg/every two days (≥130 times the MRHD, based on C 12h ).
In a pre- and post-natal development study in pregnant rats, somapacitan-beco was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 4, 9, and 18 mg/kg twice a week from gestation day 6 through lactation day 18. No adverse developmental effects were observed in the offspring at doses up to 9 mg/kg (275 times the MRHD, based on AUC). Increased incidence of renal pelvic dilatation was observed on post-natal day 21 at 18 mg/kg (630 times the MRHD, based on AUC), but was not observed in the adult F1 generation.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information on the presence of somapacitan-beco in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Somapacitan-beco-related material was secreted into milk of lactating rats. When a substance is present in animal milk, it is likely that the substance will be present in human milk .
Available published data describing administration of short-acting recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) to lactating women for 7 days reported that short-acting rhGH did not increase the normal breastmilk concentration of growth hormone and no adverse effects were reported in breastfed infants. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for SOGROYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from SOGROYA or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of SOGROYA have been established in pediatric patients 2.5 years of age and older for the treatment of: • Growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous GH. The use of SOGROYA for this indication is supported by evidence from a 52-week randomized, multi-center, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 trial in 200 treatment-naïve, pediatric patients aged 2.5 to 11 years with GHD [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] .

🤰 Pregnancy ▾
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on the use of SOGROYA during pregnancy; however, published studies describing the use of short-acting recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) during pregnancy over several decades have not identified any drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, subcutaneously administered somapacitan-beco was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits during organogenesis at doses approximately 12 times the clinical exposure at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 8 mg/week.
No adverse developmental outcomes were observed in a pre- and post-natal development study with administration of somapacitan-beco to pregnant rats from organogenesis through lactation at approximately 275 times the clinical exposure at the MRHD (see Data) . The background risk of birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, somapacitan-beco was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 2, 6, and 18 mg/kg/day during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 6 to 17. Fetal viability and development were not affected at doses up to 6 mg/kg/day (31 times the MRHD, based on AUC). Transient, fetal skeletal variations (short/bent/thickened long bones) were observed at 18 mg/kg/day (261 times the MRHD, based on AUC).
In an embryo-fetal development study in rabbits, somapacitan-beco was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 1, 3, and 9 mg/kg every two days during the period of organogenesis from gestation day 6 to 18. Fetal viability and development were not adversely affected at somapacitan-beco dose of 1 mg/kg/every two days (12 times the MRHD, based on AUC). Reduced fetal growth was observed at doses ≥3 mg/kg/every two days (≥130 times the MRHD, based on C 12h ).
In a pre- and post-natal development study in pregnant rats, somapacitan-beco was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 4, 9, and 18 mg/kg twice a week from gestation day 6 through lactation day 18. No adverse developmental effects were observed in the offspring at doses up to 9 mg/kg (275 times the MRHD, based on AUC). Increased incidence of renal pelvic dilatation was observed on post-natal day 21 at 18 mg/kg (630 times the MRHD, based on AUC), but was not observed in the adult F1 generation.
🧒 Pediatric Use ▾
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of SOGROYA have been established in pediatric patients 2.5 years of age and older for the treatment of: • Growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous GH. The use of SOGROYA for this indication is supported by evidence from a 52-week randomized, multi-center, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 trial in 200 treatment-naïve, pediatric patients aged 2.5 to 11 years with GHD [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] . The safety profile from the pediatric trial was similar to that reported in adults [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] . • Short stature born SGA with no catch-up growth by 2 years of age.
The use of SOGROYA for this indication is supported by evidence from a multi-center, randomized open-label, active-comparator, phase 3 basket study in 142 pediatric patients aged 2.6 to 10.7 years with short stature born SGA with no catch-up growth by 2 years of age [see Clinical Studies (14.2)] . • Growth failure associated with NS. The use of SOGROYA for this indication is supported by evidence from a multi-center, randomized open-label, active-comparator, phase 3 basket study in 77 pediatric patients aged 2 to 11.1 years with growth failure associated with NS [see Clinical Studies (14.3)]. • ISS.
The use of SOGROYA for this indication is supported by evidence from a multi-center, randomized open-label, active-comparator, phase 3 basket study in 88 pediatric patients aged 2.8 to 10.8 years with ISS [see Clinical Studies (14.4)]. The safety and effectiveness of SOGROYA have not been established in pediatric patients less than 2.5 years of age for the treatment of growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous GH, short stature born SGA with no catch-up growth, growth failure associated with NS, or with ISS.
Risks in pediatric patients associated with growth hormone use include: • Sudden death in pediatric patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome. SOGROYA is not indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients with growth failure secondary to genetically confirmed Prader-Willi syndrome. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.13)] • Increased risk of second neoplasm in pediatric cancer survivors treated with radiation to the brain and/or head [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] • Slipped capital femoral epiphysis in pediatric patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9)] • Progression of preexisting scoliosis in pediatric patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10)] • Pancreatitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.11)]
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use In clinical studies a total of 52 (15.6%) of the 333 SOGROYA-treated patients were 65 years or older and 3 (0.9%) were 75 years or older [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Subjects older than 65 years appeared to have higher exposure than younger subjects at the same dose level. Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the action of somapacitan-beco and therefore may be at increased risk for adverse reactions.
Initiate SOGROYA with a dose of 1 mg once weekly and use smaller increments when increasing the dose [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )].
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Acute overdosage could lead initially to hypoglycemia and subsequently to hyperglycemia. Overdose with SOGROYA is likely to cause fluid retention. Long-term overdosage could result in signs and symptoms of gigantism and/or acromegaly consistent with the known effects of excess endogenous growth hormone.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Somapacitan-beco binds to a dimeric GH receptor in the cell membrane of target cells resulting in intracellular signal transduction and a host of pharmacodynamic effects. Some of these pharmacodynamic effects are primarily mediated by insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) produced in the liver, while others are primarily a consequence of the direct effects of somapacitan-beco.
12.2Pharmacodynamics IGF-1 was measured to assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of somapacitan-beco. Somapacitan-beco normalizes the mean IGF-1 standard deviation score (SDS) level from a baseline value below -2 to a value within the reference range (-2 to +2) in treatment-naïve adult patients with GHD [see Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . In adult patients with GHD (n=26), somapacitan-beco induces a less than dose proportional IGF-1 response at steady state.
Maximum IGF-1 concentrations were observed within 2 to 4 days after dosing. Similar to the somapacitan-beco exposure time course, a steady state IGF-1 response was reached after 1 to 2 weekly doses with limited cumulative IGF-1 response. In pediatric patients with GHD aged 2.5 to 11 years, somapacitan-beco produces a dose linear IGF-1 response, with a change of 0.02 mg/kg on average resulting in a change in IGF-1 standard deviation score (SDS) of 0.32.
Approximately 97% of pediatric patients achieved an average IGF-1 SDS level within normal range after 52 weeks of treatment with once weekly SOGROYA in Study NCT03811535. IGF-1 SDS levels were -2.03 at baseline and the IGF-1 SDS level change from baseline was 2.36. In pediatric patients born SGA aged 2.6 to 10.1 years, somapacitan-beco produces a dose linear IGF-1 response, with a change of 0.02 mg/kg/week on average resulting in a change in IGF-1 SDS of 0.24 in the dosing range of 0.16 mg to 0.24 mg/kg/week.
IGF-1 SDS was normal at baseline and increased by 2.48 after 52 weeks of treatment with SOGROYA 0.24 mg/kg/week. In pediatric patients with NS aged 2.6 to 11.1 years, IGF-1 SDS was normal at baseline and increased by 2.35 after 52 weeks of treatment with SOGROYA 0.24 mg/kg/week. In pediatric patients with ISS aged 2.8 to 10.8 years, IGF-1 SDS was normal at baseline and increased by 2.44 after 52 weeks of treatment with SOGROYA 0.24 mg/kg/week.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Somapacitan-beco has pharmacokinetic properties compatible with once weekly administration. The reversible binding to endogenous albumin delays elimination of somapacitan and thereby prolongs the in vivo half-life and duration of action. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of somapacitan-beco following subcutaneous administration have been investigated at clinically relevant doses (e.g., 0.01 to 0.32 mg/kg in healthy adults, 0.02 to 0.12 mg/kg in adults with GHD, 0.02 to 0.16 mg/kg in pediatric patients with GHD, 0.16 to 0.24 mg/kg in pediatric patient born SGA, 0.24 mg/kg in pediatric patient with NS, and 0.24 mg/kg in pediatric patient with ISS).
Overall, somapacitan-beco displays non-linear pharmacokinetics, however in the clinically relevant dose range of somapacitan-beco in adults with GHD, somapacitan-beco pharmacokinetics are approximately linear. After subcutaneous administration of 0.02 – 0.16 mg/kg/week somapacitan-beco in pediatric patients with GHD, a non-linear dose-exposure relationship with a greater than dose proportional increase in exposure was observed. Absorption In adults and pediatric patients, steady state exposure is achieved following 1 to 2 weeks of once weekly administration of subcutaneous somapacitan-beco.
In adults with GHD, a maximum concentration of somapacitan-beco is reached 4 to 24 hours post dose. In pediatric patients with GHD, maximum somapacitan-beco concentrations occurred 8 to 25 hours after dosing at doses from 0.02 mg/kg/week to 0.16 mg/kg/week and increased with increasing dose level. In pediatric patients born SGA, a maximum concentration of somapacitan-beco is reached 22 hours post dose at doses from… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics Somapacitan-beco has pharmacokinetic properties compatible with once weekly administration. The reversible binding to endogenous albumin delays elimination of somapacitan and thereby prolongs the in vivo half-life and duration of action. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of somapacitan-beco following subcutaneous administration have been investigated at clinically relevant doses (e.g., 0.01 to 0.32 mg/kg in healthy adults, 0.02 to 0.12 mg/kg in adults with GHD, 0.02 to 0.16 mg/kg in pediatric patients with GHD, 0.16 to 0.24 mg/kg in pediatric patient born SGA, 0.24 mg/kg in pediatric patient with NS, and 0.24 mg/kg in pediatric patient with ISS).
Overall, somapacitan-beco displays non-linear pharmacokinetics, however in the clinically relevant dose range of somapacitan-beco in adults with GHD, somapacitan-beco pharmacokinetics are approximately linear. After subcutaneous administration of 0.02 – 0.16 mg/kg/week somapacitan-beco in pediatric patients with GHD, a non-linear dose-exposure relationship with a greater than dose proportional increase in exposure was observed. Absorption In adults and pediatric patients, steady state exposure is achieved following 1 to 2 weeks of once weekly administration of subcutaneous somapacitan-beco.
In adults with GHD, a maximum concentration of somapacitan-beco is reached 4 to 24 hours post dose. In pediatric patients with GHD, maximum somapacitan-beco concentrations occurred 8 to 25 hours after dosing at doses from 0.02 mg/kg/week to 0.16 mg/kg/week and increased with increasing dose level. In pediatric patients born SGA, a maximum concentration of somapacitan-beco is reached 22 hours post dose at doses from 0.16 mg/kg/week to 0.24 mg/kg/week and increased with increasing dose level.
In pediatric patients with NS, a maximum concentration of somapacitan-beco is reached 23 hours post dose at 0.24 mg/kg/week. In pediatric patients with ISS, a maximum concentration of somapacitan-beco is reached 23 hours post dose at 0.24 mg/kg/week. Distribution Somapacitan-beco is extensively bound (>99%) to plasma proteins.
Based on population PK analyses, the estimated volume of distribution (V/F) of somapacitan-beco in adult GHD patients is approximately
14.6 L,
1.7 L in pediatric patients with GHD,
2.97 L in pediatric patients born SGA,
3.23 L in pediatric patients with NS, and
2.99L in pediatric patients with ISS. Elimination The plasma elimination half-life of somapacitan-beco is approximately 2 to 3 days in adult patients with GHD. Following a dose of 0.16 mg/kg/week, the terminal half-life of somapacitan-beco was about 34 hours in pediatric patients with GHD.
Following a dose of 0.24 mg/kg/week, the mean terminal half-life of somapacitan-beco range from 36 to 37 hours in pediatric patients with SGA, NS, and ISS. Somapacitan-beco was cleared within one week after treatment discontinuation. Metabolism : Somapacitan-beco is metabolized via proteolytic cleavage of the linker sequence between the peptide backbone and albumin binder sidechain.
Excretion : The primary excretion routes of somapacitan-beco-related material are via the urine and feces. Approximately 81% of the dose is excreted in the urine and approximately 13% is excreted in the feces. No intact somapacitan-beco is excreted indicating full breakdown of somapacitan-beco prior to excretion.
Specific Populations Body weight : Adults with GHD – The exposure of somapacitan-beco decreases with increasing body weight. However, the somapacitan-beco dose range of 0.1 to 8 mg/week provides adequate systemic exposure to reach target IGF-1 levels over the weight range of 34.5-150.5 kg evaluated in the clinical trials. Pediatric patients with GHD : Based on pharmacokinetic analysis, gender and race do not have a clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics.
The exposure of somapacitan-beco decreases with increasing body weight. However, the somapacitan-beco dose of 0.16 mg/kg/week provides adequate systemic exposure for pediatrics to… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1Pediatric Patients with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) A randomized, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 study was conducted in 200 treatment-naïve, pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) (NCT03811535). The primary efficacy endpoint was annualized height velocity at Week 52. One hundred thirty-two patients (132) received 0.16 mg/kg/week SOGROYA, and 68 received 0.034 mg/kg/day daily somatropin.
The patients ranged in age from 2.5 to 11 years with a mean of 6.4 years. Of these patients, 74.5% were male and 25.5% were female. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of patients were Caucasian, 37% of patients were Asian, 0.5% of patients were Black or African American, 5.0% were not reported, and 0.5% were categorized as “other.” The mean baseline height standard deviation score (SDS) of -2.99 (1.02) in SOGROYA group and -3.47 (1.52) in daily somatropin group.
Treatment with once-weekly SOGROYA for 52 weeks resulted in an annualized height velocity of 11.2 cm/year. Patients treated with daily somatropin achieved an annualized height velocity of 11.7 cm/year after 52 weeks of treatment. Refer to Table 8 .

14.2Pediatric Patients Born Small for Gestational Age (SGA) A multi-center, randomized, open-label, active-comparator, phase 3 basket study was conducted in GH treatment-naïve, pre-pubertal pediatric patients with short stature in small for gestational age (SGA), Noonan syndrome (NS) or idiopathic short stature (ISS) (NCT05330325). The primary efficacy endpoint was annualized height velocity at Week 52. One hundred forty-two pediatric patients with SGA were randomized to SOGROYA 0.24 mg/kg/week (n=70), daily somatropin 0.035 mg/kg/day (n=37), or daily somatropin 0.067 mg/kg/day (n=35).
Dose 0.035 mg/kg/day of daily somatropin is less than maximum dose (0.067 mg/kg/day) approved for use in pediatric patients with SGA in the United States. Patients ranged in age from 2.6 to 10.7 years with a mean of 5.5 years. Of these patients, 49% were male and 51% were female.
Fifty-nine percent of patients were Caucasian, 36% of patients were Asian, 1% of patients were Black or African American, and 4% were not reported. The mean baseline height SDS was -3, -3, and -3 in the SOGROYA, somatropin 0.035 mg/kg/day, and somatropin 0.067 mg/kg/day groups, respectively. The annualized height velocity at Week 52 for SOGROYA and somatropin are presented in Table 9 .

🧪 Nonclinical Toxicology ▾
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Long term studies in animals with somapacitan-beco to evaluate carcinogenic potential have not been conducted. Somapacitan-beco was not mutagenic or clastogenic in a standard battery of genotoxicity tests (bacterial mutagenicity (Ames), human lymphocyte chromosome aberration, rat bone marrow micronucleus). In rat studies evaluating male and female fertility, somapacitan-beco was administered by subcutaneous injection at doses of 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg twice weekly.
Males were dosed from four weeks before pairing until termination and females were dosed beginning two weeks prior to mating through gestation day 7. No adverse effects were observed on male or female fertility in rats at doses up to 4 mg/kg (29 times the MRHD, based on AUC).

Additional information SOGROYA is a prefilled growth hormone Pen. It contains 5 mg of somapacitan-beco and delivers doses from 0.025 mg to 2.0 mg, in increments of 0.025 mg. SOGROYA is for use under the skin only (subcutaneous) for injection 1 time each week.
Do not share your SOGROYA Pen and needles with another person. You may give another person an infection or get an infection from them. Do not use your Pen without proper training from your healthcare provider.
Make sure that you are confident in giving an injection with the Pen before you start your treatment. If you are blind or have poor eyesight and cannot read the dose counter on the Pen, do not use this Pen without help. Get help from a person with good eyesight who is trained to use the Pen.
Step 1. Prepare your SOGROYA Pen • Wash your hands with soap and water. • Check the name, strength, and colored label on your Pen to make sure that it contains SOGROYA in the right strength. • Pull off the Pen cap. • Turn the Pen upside down 1 or 2 times to check that the SOGROYA in your Pen is clear to almost clear and colorless to slightly yellow (See Figure A). If SOGROYA looks cloudy or you see particles, do not use the Pen. • When you are ready to give your injection, get a new disposable needle, and remove the paper tab. • Push the needle straight onto the Pen.
Turn the needle clockwise until it is on tight (See Figure B). Make sure the right pen is used. Especially if you use more than one type of injection medicine.
Using the wrong medicine could be harmful to your health. Always use a new needle for each injection. This reduces the risk of contamination, infection, leakage of SOGROYA, and blocked needles leading to incorrect dosing. • Pull off the outer needle cap and throw it away (dispose of) (See Figure C). • Pull off the inner needle cap and throw it away (dispose of) (See Figure D).
A drop of SOGROYA may appear at the needle tip. This is normal, but you must still check the SOGROYA flow with each new Pen (See Step 2). Never use a bent or damaged needle.
Step 2. Check the SOGROYA flow with each new Pen If your Pen is already in use , go to Step 3. • Before using a new Pen , check the SOGROYA flow to make sure the growth hormone can flow through the Pen and needle. • Turn the dose selector clockwise 1 marking on the dose counter to select 0.025 mg. You may hear a faint “click” when you turn the dose selector (See Figure E). • 1 marking on the dose counter equals 0.025 mg (See Figure F). • Hold the Pen with the needle pointing up.
Press and hold in the dose button until the dose counter returns to “0”. The “0” must line up with the dose pointer (See Figure G). • Check that a drop of SOGROYA appears at the needle tip (See Figure H). If no SOGROYA appears , repeat Step 2 up to 6 times.
If you still do not see a drop of SOGROYA, change the needle: • Carefully remove the needle from the Pen by turning the needle counterclockwise. Place the needle in a sharps disposal container immediately (See Step 5). • Repeat Step 2 again. Do not use the Pen if a drop of SOGROYA still… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
