Researchers track Long-Term safety of growth hormone drug in kids
NCT ID NCT05775523
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 500 children with growth hormone deficiency who are already taking lonapegsomatropin to check for long-term safety risks like cancer or diabetes. It is a non-interventional study, meaning no new treatment is given—just observation under real-world conditions in Europe and the USA. The goal is to better understand the drug's safety over time.
