Somatrogon-Ghla Interactions

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on NGENLA use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In reproduction studies with pregnant rats, there was no evidence of embryo-fetal toxicity following administration of somatrogon-ghla subcutaneously during organogenesis at doses up to 45 times the maximum recommended human dose based on exposure (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal development toxicity study in rats, no adverse maternal or embryo-fetal effects were observed when somatrogon-ghla was administered via subcutaneous injection every 2 days from gestation day (GD) 6 to 18 at doses up to 30 mg/kg (45 times the maximum recommended human dose based on C av exposure). In a pre- and postnatal development study in rats, somatrogon-ghla was administered via subcutaneous injection to pregnant rats every 2 days from GD 6 to lactation day 20 at doses up to 30 mg/kg. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity and no adverse effects on the first generation (F1) offspring. Somatrogon-ghla elicited an increase in F1 mean body weights in both sexes and increased the mean copulatory interval in F1 females at the highest dose (30 mg/kg), consistent with a longer estrous cycle length. However, there were no effects on mating indices in F1 females.
