heiGHt was a 52-week, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 study of 161 treatment-naïve, prepubertal (Tanner stage I) pediatric patients with GHD aged 3 years and older. Patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either SKYTROFA^® 0.24 mg/kg/week (n = 105) or daily somatropin using Genotropin^® 0.24 mg/kg/week (n = 56). The primary endpoint was AHV at 52 weeks.^1,2

fliGHt was a multicenter, phase 3, open-label, 26-week trial investigating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of SKYTROFA administered once weekly in children with GHD. The trial included 3 treatment-naïve and 143 treatment-experienced patients previously treated with daily hGH for ≤ 130 weeks. Previous daily GH treatments included HumatroPen^®, Genotropin Pen^®, Saizen one.click^®, Omnitrope^® Pen, Genotropin GoQuick^®, Genotropin MiniQuick^®, Norditropin FlexPro^®, and Nutropin AQ^® NuSpin^®. The mean daily somatropin dose was 0.29 mg/kg/week upon entering the trial. Safety and tolerability were the primary endpoints. Patients aged 6 months to 3 years could be treatment naïve and were included only in the safety and tolerability analyses.³

SKYTROFA was studied in an open-label extension study of pediatric patients with GHD who had previously participated in phase 3 SKYTROFA trials. The study enrolled a total of 298 patients: 103 patients on SKYTROFA and 55 patients on daily somatropin from the heiGHt trial, and 140 patients on SKYTROFA from the fliGHt trial. The mean age at baseline of the enliGHten trial was 9.5 years for SKYTROFA-treated patients from the heiGHt trial, 9.5 years for daily somatropin-treated patients from the heiGHt trial, and 11.1 years for patients from the fliGHt trial. Long-term safety was the primary endpoint.⁴

Once-weekly SKYTROFA^® was studied in a multicenter, phase 3, open-label, 26-week trial investigating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of SKYTROFA administered once weekly in children with pediatric GHD. The trial included 3 treatment-naïve and 143 treatment-experienced patients previously treated with daily hGH for ≤ 130 weeks. The mean daily somatropin dose was 0.29 mg/kg/week upon entering the trial. Safety and tolerability were the primary endpoints.¹
