First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests whether two weekly injections, navepegritide and lonapegsomatropin, can safely improve growth in children aged 2 to 11 with achondroplasia (a common form of dwarfism). The trial involves 22 children and lasts 156 weeks. The goal is to see if the combination works better than either drug alone, but ongoing treatment is needed, so it is not a cure.
