The groundbreaking growth hormone known as Lonapegsomatropin has received approval for use on a once-weekly basis for the management of Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency, with the endorsement coming from both the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency.
VISEN Pharmaceuticals' Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Pony Lu, remarked, "Receiving the Biologics License Application approval is a pivotal moment in the journey towards bringing this product to the market. We are committed to focusing on the delivery of top-tier or pioneering medications, aiming to enhance the therapy available to Chinese patients suffering from endocrine disorders, which in turn should lead to improved management and health outcomes."
As a precursor to somatropin, Lonapegsomatropin is introduced into the body on a weekly basis. With the assistance of the cutting-edge TransConTM technology, this therapy has been tailored to ensure the consistent release of somatropin in its pure form - a therapy aligning with the somatropin currently employed in day-to-day treatments of pediatric GHD. The somatropin released from Lonapegsomatropin maintains its natural state, mirroring the 191 amino-acid make-up and dimensions of the body's own growth hormone.
Ownership and development of Lonapegsomatropin and the transformative TransCon technology belong to Ascendis Pharma A/S. Meanwhile, VISEN Pharmaceuticals possesses the exclusive authorization to further develop and market Lonapegsomatropin across the extensive Chinese market.
