New weekly shot aims to boost growth in teens with dwarfism

NCT ID NCT06732895

Summary

This trial is testing whether a new weekly injection called navepegritide can safely increase the annual growth rate in adolescents (ages 12-18) with achondroplasia, a genetic condition that causes dwarfism. About 24 participants will receive either the active drug or a placebo (inactive shot) for one year. The main goal is to see if the treatment helps teens grow taller faster than they would without it.
