Background: Vosoritide increases annualized growth velocity (AGV) in children with achondroplasia aged 5 to 18 years. This global, phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety and efficacy of vosoritide on growth in children with achondroplasia aged 3 months to <5 years.Methods: This study compared once-daily subcutaneous administration of vosoritide, at doses of 15 or 30 mg/kg of b...

Objectives: Vosoritide is a potent stimulator of endochondral bone growth and is in development for the treatment of achondroplasia, the most common form of disproportionate short stature. We previously reported on a 52-week, phase 3, pivotal study that demonstrated a significant improvement in annualized growth velocity (AGV) when vosoritide was compared to placebo in children with achondroplasia aged 5-18 years (Savarirayan et al, Lancet, 2020).
