Somapacitan (Sogroya)

CADTH recommends that Sogroya should be reimbursed by public drug plans for the long-term treatment of pediatric patients who have growth failure due to an inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone (growth hormone deficiency [GHD]) if certain conditions are met. Sogroya should only be covered to treat children who are at least 2.5 years of age, have not reached puberty yet, and are diagnosed with GHD. Sogroya should only be reimbursed for a patient who is under the care of a pediatric endocrinologist and whose growth plates have not closed if Sogroya does not cost more than somatropin and somatrogon.
