(somatrogon-ghla)

11 DESCRIPTION

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.

NGENLA (somatrogon-ghla) injection is a sterile, clear and colorless to slightly light yellow solution for subcutaneous use supplied in a 24 mg/1.2 mL (20 mg/mL) or 60 mg/1.2 mL (50 mg/mL) single-patient-use prefilled pen.

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.
