5月12日，诺和诺德(NVO.US)公布了III期REAL8篮子试验的数据，结果显示：每周给药一次的Sogroya （帕西生长素）在改善小于胎龄儿（SGA）、努南综合征（NS）、特发性矮小症（ISS）的青春期前儿 童的年生长速率（通过52周时身高生长速度HV测量）方面，与每日给药一次的生长激素Norditropin （somatropin）相当。此外，在患有努南综合征（NS）的儿童中，Sogroya较每日一次的生长激素具有 优越性，同时在小于胎龄儿（SGA）的儿童中，Sogroya较每日低剂量的生长激素也具有优越性。 Sogroya是一种人生长激素类似物，与当前的每日生长激素类似。利用白蛋白结合延长技术，Sogroya附 着在血液中的白蛋白上，以帮助延缓其从体内的清除，可使生长激素发挥更长时间的作用。目前该药已 被FDA批准用于治疗生长激素分泌不足的儿童和成人患者。REAL8采用了创新的篮子试验设计，在同 一试验方案下，研究每周一次的Sogroya在四种不同但相关的适应证（SGA、TS、NS和ISS）中的应 用。这种试验设计通过加快招募速度和整合资源，使临床开发过程更加高效，有望更快地为这些疾病的 患者带来治 ...
