Somatrogon
Approved for a growth disorderHeight measured in peopleBy injectionProtein or enzymeAlso Ngenla
Growth hormone with extra tails bolted on so the body clears it more slowly, licensed for children whose own supply is too low.
A long-acting formulation: GH fused to three copies of the C-terminal peptide of hCG's β chain, slowing clearance. The circulating molecule is modified, not plain somatropin. Approved for children aged 3 and over with growth failure from inadequate growth hormone secretion.
Risks. No boxed warning, but it carries the whole growth hormone warning set: rising pressure inside the skull, a hip growth plate that can slip, worsening scoliosis, diabetes, a higher cancer risk, and sudden death in children with Prader-Willi syndrome.
