Growth drug shows promise for kids with dwarfism
NCT ID NCT03424018
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a drug called BMN 111 in children with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. The goal is to see if it safely helps them grow taller over several years. About 119 children who completed an earlier study will take the drug and be monitored for growth, daily activities, and quality of life.
