Newly diagnosed paediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (pGHD) patients
NGENLA is indicated for the treatment of children and adolescents from 3 years of age with growth disturbance due to insufficient secretion of Growth Hormone (GH). The recommended dose is 0.66 mg/kg body weight administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection.1
Current pGHD patients who are currently on daily GH
Consider NGENLA for your pGHD patients aged 3 years or older who are currently on daily GH treatment, and may benefit from once-weekly treatment. These may include:
• Patients who prefer a less frequent injection schedule
• Patients currently on a daily GH, who are transitioning to injecting themselves.
For patients switching from daily growth hormone, therapy with NGENLA may be initiated at a dose of 0.66mg/kg/week on the day following their last daily growth hormone injection.1
NGENLA delivered a favoured treatment experience for patients and caregivers in a phase 3 crossover study versus daily Genotropin (somatropin) in pGHD, based on lower treatment burden as shown by less life interference, using a range of parameters.
Life interference parameter overall mean scores where patients and caregivers favoured once weekly NGENLA (95% CI) after 12 weeks vs. once daily Genotropin included: willingness to continue treatment, impact on daily activities, caregiver & family life interference and convenience & ease of the injection schedule.
