What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early study tests a daily injection of vosoritide (Voxzogo) in 6 children aged 5 to 10 with MPS IVA or VI, rare conditions that cause growth problems. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and tolerable over 96 weeks. Researchers will also look at changes in height and bone growth markers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Vosoritide (Voxzogo) injection
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a treatment to help children with MPS IVA and VI grow taller and improve bone health.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed mainly to check safety, not to prove effectiveness.
