Purpose: Long-term studies are needed to investigate the safety of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in routine practice. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of biosimilar rhGH (somatropin; Omnitrope) in adults with GHD.

Methods: PAtients TReated with Omnitrope (PATRO) Adults was a post-marketing surveillance study conducted across Europe.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), or follitropin, exists in multiple molecular forms due largely to its protein-carbohydrate composition and the complexity of the glycans attached to the protein core. The heterogeneity of gonadotropins exists in two forms, macroheterogeneity, which results from the absence of one or two oligosaccharide chains in the ß-subunit, and microheterogeneity which results from variation in the structures and complexity of the glycans attached to the hormone. In the clinical arena, FSH compounds are widely used by fertility specialists to promote ovarian follicle growth and maturation to a preovulatory follicle containing a fertilization-competent oocyte.
