Increased mortality in patients with acute critical illness due to complications following open heart surgery, abdominal surgery or multiple accidental trauma, or those with acute respiratory failure has been reported with somatropin [see Contraindications (4)]. The safety of continuing NGENLA treatment for the approved indication in patients who concurrently develop these illnesses has not been established.
Severe systemic hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis and angioedema have been reported with somatropin. Inform patients and/or caregivers that such reactions are possible and that prompt medical attention should be sought if an allergic reaction occurs. NGENLA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to somatrogon-ghla or any excipients in NGENLA [see Contraindications (4)].
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 should be completed prior to instituting therapy with NGENLA. Discontinue NGENLA if there is evidence of recurrent malignancy.
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 GHD and were treated with somatropin, an increased risk of a 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 NGENLA therapy for progression or recurrence of the tumor.
New Malignancy During Treatment
Because children with certain rare genetic causes of short stature have an increased risk of developing malignancies, thoroughly consider the risks and benefits of starting NGENLA in these patients. If treatment with NGENLA is initiated, carefully monitor these patients for development of neoplasms.
Monitor patients on NGENLA therapy carefully for increased growth or potential malignant changes of preexisting nevi. Advise patients and/or caregivers to report marked changes in behavior, onset of headaches, vision disturbances and/or changes in skin pigmentation or changes in the appearance of preexisting nevi.
Treatment with growth hormone may decrease insulin sensitivity, particularly at higher doses. New onset type 2 diabetes mellitus has been reported in patients receiving growth hormone. Patients with undiagnosed pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus may experience worsened glycemic control and become symptomatic. Monitor glucose levels periodically in all patients receiving NGENLA, especially in those with risk factors for diabetes mellitus, such as obesity, Turner syndrome, or a family history of diabetes mellitus. Patients with preexisting type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus or pre-diabetes should be monitored closely. The doses of antidiabetic agents may require adjustment when NGENLA is initiated.
Intracranial hypertension (IH) with papilledema, visual changes, headache, nausea, and/or vomiting has been reported in patients treated with somatropin. Symptoms usually occurred within the first eight (8) weeks after the initiation of somatropin therapy. In all reported cases, IH-associated signs and symptoms rapidly resolved after cessation of therapy or a reduction of somatropin dose.
Perform fundoscopic examination before initiating treatment with NGENLA to exclude preexisting papilledema and periodically thereafter. If papilledema is identified prior to initiation, evaluate the etiology and treat the underlying cause before initiating NGENLA. NGENLA should be temporarily discontinued in patients with clinical or fundoscopic evidence of IH. If IH is confirmed, restart treatment with NGENLA at a lower dose after IH-associated signs and symptoms have resolved.
Fluid retention during NGENLA therapy may occur. Clinical manifestations of fluid retention (e.g. edema and nerve compression syndromes including carpal tunnel syndrome/paresthesia) are usually transient and dose dependent.
Patients receiving growth hormone therapy who have or are at risk for pituitary hormone deficiency(s) may be at risk for reduced serum cortisol levels and/or unmasking of central (secondary) hypoadrenalism. In addition, patients treated with glucocorticoid replacement for previously diagnosed hypoadrenalism may require an increase in their maintenance or stress doses following initiation of NGENLA treatment. Monitor patients for reduced serum cortisol levels and/or need for glucocorticoid dose increases in those with known hypoadrenalism [see Drug Interactions (7)].
Undiagnosed/untreated hypothyroidism may prevent an optimal response to NGENLA therapy. In patients with GH deficiency, central (secondary) hypothyroidism may first become evident or worsen during treatment with growth hormone therapy. Therefore, patients should have periodic thyroid function tests and thyroid hormone replacement therapy should be initiated or appropriately adjusted when indicated.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis may occur more frequently in patients undergoing rapid growth. Evaluate pediatric patients with the onset of a limp or complaints of persistent hip or knee pain.
NGENLA increases growth rate, and progression of preexisting scoliosis can occur in patients who experience rapid growth. Growth hormone treatment has not been shown to increase the occurrence of scoliosis. Monitor patients with a history of scoliosis for disease progression.
Cases of pancreatitis have been reported in patients receiving somatropin. The risk may be greater in pediatric patients compared with adults. Consider pancreatitis in patients who develop persistent severe abdominal pain.
When NGENLA is administered subcutaneously at the same site over a long period of time, lipoatrophy may result. Rotate injection sites when administering NGENLA to reduce this risk [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
There have been reports of sudden death after initiating therapy with somatropin in pediatric patients with Prader-Willi syndrome who had one or more of the following risk factors: severe obesity, history of upper airway obstruction or sleep apnea, or unidentified respiratory infection. Male patients with one or more of these factors may be at greater risk than females. NGENLA is not indicated for the treatment of pediatric patients who have growth failure due to genetically confirmed Prader-Willi syndrome.
Serum levels of phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and parathyroid hormone may increase with NGENLA therapy. If a patient is found to have abnormal laboratory tests, monitor as appropriate.
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Safety data are derived from a safety and efficacy study in pediatric patients with GHD [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The data from the 12-month main study period reflect exposure of 109 patients to NGENLA administered once weekly (0.66 mg/kg/wk) and 115 patients to somatropin administered once daily (0.034 mg/kg/day).
The mean age across the treatment groups, was 7.7 years (min 3.01, max 11.96); 40.2% of patients were >3 years to ≤7 years, 59.8% were >7 years, 71.9% of patients were male, and 28.1% were female. In this study, 74.6% of patients were White, 20.1% were Asian, 0.9% were Black or African American, 0.5% were American Indian or Alaska Native, 0.5% were Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and for 3.6% race information was missing; 10.7% of patients identified as Hispanic or Latino. Baseline disease characteristics were balanced across treatment groups.
Table 1 shows the adverse reactions that occurred in ≥5% of patients treated with NGENLA or daily somatropin during the 12-month main study period. Reporting of injection site reactions was solicited through the use of a patient diary after each weekly injection for patients administered NGENLA and once weekly for patients administered daily injections of somatropin.

Risk Summary
There are no available data on NGENLA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In reproduction studies with pregnant rats, there was no evidence of embryo-fetal toxicity following administration of somatrogon-ghla subcutaneously during organogenesis at doses up to 45 times the maximum recommended human dose based on exposure (see Data).
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in 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 toxicity study in rats, no adverse maternal or embryo-fetal effects were observed when somatrogon-ghla was administered via subcutaneous injection every 2 days from gestation day (GD) 6 to 18 at doses up to 30 mg/kg (45 times the maximum recommended human dose based on Cav exposure).
In a pre- and postnatal development study in rats, somatrogon-ghla was administered via subcutaneous injection to pregnant rats every 2 days from GD 6 to lactation day 20 at doses up to 30 mg/kg. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity and no adverse effects on the first generation (F1) offspring. Somatrogon-ghla elicited an increase in F1 mean body weights in both sexes and increased the mean copulatory interval in F1 females at the highest dose (30 mg/kg), consistent with a longer estrous cycle length. However, there were no effects on mating indices in F1 females.

There are no data on the presence of somatrogon-ghla in human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for NGENLA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from NGENLA or from the underlying maternal condition.
Pregnancy Testing
Although somatrogon-ghla did not interfere with hCG pregnancy testing in a limited number of commercial tests, interference with hCG blood and urine pregnancy testing in patients receiving somatrogon-ghla may be possible, leading to either false positive or false negative results. Alternative methods (i.e., not reliant on hCG) are recommended to determine pregnancy.
The safety and effectiveness of NGENLA have been established for the treatment of growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone (GH) in pediatric patients aged 3 years and older [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. The use of NGENLA for this indication is supported by evidence from a 52‑week, multi-center, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 study in 224 treatment-naïve, prepubertal pediatric subjects with growth hormone deficiency.
Risks in pediatric patients associated with growth hormone use include:
Acute overdosage may lead initially to hypoglycemia and subsequently to hyperglycemia. Overdose with growth hormone may cause fluid retention. Long-term overdosage could result in signs and symptoms of gigantism consistent with the effects of excess growth hormone.

Somatrogon-ghla, a human growth hormone analog, is a fusion protein produced in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology. It is comprised of the amino acid sequence of human growth hormone (hGH) with one copy of the C-terminal peptide (CTP) from the beta chain of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) at the N-terminus and 2 copies of CTP (in tandem) at the C-terminus. Somatrogon-ghla has an approximate molecular weight of 40 KDa.

Each 1.2 mL of solution contains either 24 mg or 60 mg of somatrogon-ghla, and the inactive ingredients citric acid monohydrate (0.3 mg), histidine (1.9 mg), metacresol (4 mg, as a preservative), poloxamer 188 (2 mg), sodium chloride (10 mg) and sodium citrate (2.8 mg) in water for injection. NGENLA has a pH of approximately 6.6.

Somatrogon-ghla binds to the GH receptor and initiates a signal transduction cascade culminating in changes in growth and metabolism. Somatrogon-ghla binding leads to activation of the STAT5b signaling pathway and increases the serum concentration of Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1). GH and IGF-1 stimulate metabolic changes, linear growth, and enhance growth velocity in pediatric patients with GHD.
Following single dose administration of somatrogon, dose-dependent increases in IGF-1 response were observed.
Following multiple dosing, IGF-1 SDS levels were in the normal range for pediatric patients with GHD, similar to daily somatropin. IGF-1 levels peak approximately 2 days (48 hours) post-dose, with the average weekly IGF-1 occurring approximately 4 days post-dose.
Somatrogon-ghla pharmacokinetics (PK) was assessed using a population PK approach for NGENLA in 151 pediatric patients (aged 3 to 15.5 years) with GHD.
Absorption
Following subcutaneous injection, serum concentrations increased slowly, peaking 6 to 25 hours with a median of 11 hours after dosing.
In pediatric patients with GHD, somatrogon-ghla exposure increases in a dose-proportional manner for doses of 0.25 mg/kg/wk, 0.48 mg/kg/wk, and 0.66 mg/kg/wk. There is no accumulation of somatrogon-ghla after once weekly administration. In pediatric patients with GHD, the mean population PK estimated steady-state peak concentrations (mean ± SD) following 0.66 mg/kg/wk was 495 ± 90 ng/mL.
Distribution
In pediatric patients with GHD, the mean population PK estimated apparent central volume of distribution was 0.342 L/kg and apparent peripheral volume of distribution was 0.671 L/kg.
Elimination
In pediatric patients with GHD, the mean population PK estimated apparent clearance was 0.0398 L/h/kg. The mean population PK estimated effective half-life was 37.7 hours, which allows for weekly dosing. Somatrogon-ghla will be present in the circulation for about 8 days after the last dose.
Metabolism
The metabolism of somatrogon-ghla is believed to be classical protein catabolism, with subsequent recovery of the amino acids and return to the systemic circulation.
Excretion
Excretion was not evaluated in clinical studies.
Specific Populations
Based on population PK analyses, age, sex, race, and ethnicity do not have a clinically meaningful effect on the pharmacokinetics of somatrogon-ghla in pediatric patients with GHD. The exposure of somatrogon-ghla decreases with an increase in body weight. However, the somatrogon-ghla dosing regimen of 0.66 mg/kg/wk provides adequate systemic exposure over the body weight range of 10 to 54 kg evaluated in the clinical studies.
Renal or Hepatic Impairment
NGENLA has not been studied in patients with hepatic or renal impairment.
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of somatrogon or other growth hormone products.
During the 12-month main period of study NCT 02968004, 84/109 (77.1%) of somatrogon-ghla‑treated patients tested positive for anti-drug antibodies, with most showing specificity to human growth hormone. The anti-drug antibodies persisted in most of the subjects during the study. Neutralizing antibodies developed in 8/217 (3.7%) of somatrogon-ghla-treated patients during the study for up to 42 months of exposure to somatrogon-ghla. The neutralizing antibodies were transient in all subjects. Anti-drug antibodies, including neutralizing-antibodies, did not appear to have a clinically significant impact on the safety or effectiveness of NGENLA during the 12‑month randomized treatment period. Additionally, no apparent effect of anti-drug antibodies on growth was observed for additional 30 months of exposure to somatrogon-ghla in the uncontrolled extension period of study NCT 02968004.
Anti-Drug Antibody Effects on Pharmacokinetics
The population pharmacokinetic analysis of data from study NCT 02968004 showed that patients who tested positive for anti-drug antibodies had an approximately 26% decrease in apparent clearance. These anti-drug antibody-associated pharmacokinetic changes are not considered to be clinically significant.
Carcinogenesis
No long term carcinogenicity studies have been performed with somatrogon-ghla.
Mutagenesis
Genotoxicity studies have not been performed.
Impairment of Fertility
The potential for somatrogon-ghla to affect fertility and early embryonic development was evaluated in male and female rats administered subcutaneously before cohabitation, through mating to implantation. Somatrogon‑ghla elicited an increase in estrous cycle length, copulatory interval, and number of corpora lutea at exposures ≥22-fold the MRHD, but there was no impact on female fertility, mating indices, number of viable embryos or early embryonic development, or on male fertility up to 30 mg/kg every two days (45-fold the MRHD based on exposure).
A multi-center, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 study (NCT 02968004) was conducted in 224 treatment-naïve, prepubertal pediatric subjects with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). The primary efficacy endpoint was annualized height velocity at Week 52.
One hundred nine (109) subjects received 0.66 mg/kg/week NGENLA, and 115 subjects received 0.034 mg/kg/day daily somatropin. The subjects age ranged from 3 to 12 years, with a mean of 7.7 years. One hundred sixty-one (71.9%) subjects were male and 63 (28.1%) were female. One hundred sixty-seven (74.6%) subjects were White, 45 (20.1%) subjects were Asian, 2 (0.9%) subjects were Black or African-American, 1 (0.5%) subject was American Indian or Alaska Native, 1 (0.5%) subject was Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and for 8 (3.6%) subjects race information was missing; 24 (10.7%) subjects identified as Hispanic or Latino. The subjects had a mean baseline height standard deviation score (SDS) of -2.9.
Treatment with once-weekly NGENLA for 52 weeks resulted in an annualized height velocity of 10.1 cm/year. Patients treated with daily somatropin achieved an annualized height velocity of 9.8 cm/year after 52 weeks of treatment. Refer to Table 3.
