Exclusion Criteria: Have ACH or short stature condition other than HCH. In females, having had their menarche. Annualized height growth velocity ≤1.5 cm/year over a period ≥6 months prior to screening. Having a clinically significant disease or condition that in view of the investigator or Sponsor will interfere with the evaluation of growth, with study participation or not be in the best interest of the participant. Clinically significant abnormality in any laboratory test result at screening Current evidence of corneal or retinal disorders. Have used any other investigational or approved product or medical device for the treatment of HCH or short stature for ≥ 30 days or with the last dose \<6 months before screening. Have had regular long-term treatment (\>1 month) with oral corticosteroids (low-dose ongoing inhaled steroid for asthma is acceptable). Previous limb-lengthening surgery or guided growth surgery with plates still in place or removed within the 6 months prior to screening.
