Recombinant Growth Hormone Therapy for Children with Turner Syndrome in Korea: A Phase III Randomized Trial (ENDO 2019) - "This study demonstrated that annualized HV of Growtropin®-II treatment at 52 week is non-inferior to that of Genotropin® in children with TS and there were no significant differences in the change of height SDS, IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 between two groups. Growtropin®-II is well tolerated and its safety profile was comparable with Genotropin® over 1 year of treatment.*Unless otherwise noted, all abstracts presented at ENDO are embargoed until the date and time of presentation.
