New weekly shot shows promise for kids with dwarfism

NCT ID NCT05598320

Summary

This trial tested whether a weekly injection could safely increase growth rate in children aged 2-11 with achondroplasia, a genetic condition that causes short stature. For one year, some children received the active injection while others received a placebo, followed by another year where all could receive the treatment. The main goal was to see if the treatment increased how fast the children grew each year.
