New hope for babies with rare dwarfism: daily shot may boost growth
NCT ID NCT07126262
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a daily injection called vosoritide in infants and toddlers (0 to 3 years old) with hypochondroplasia, a genetic condition that causes short stature. The goal is to see if the drug safely improves growth over 52 weeks. About 60 children will receive either vosoritide or a placebo, and their height, bone density, and side effects will be tracked.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must be 0 to \< 36 months of age at randomization. 2. Participants must have a confirmed genetic diagnosis of HCH (obtained via whole genome sequencing; presence of a FGFR3 pathogenic variant associated with HCH). 3. Participants aged 0 to \< 12 months must have a height Z-score of ≤ -1.0 SDS andparticipants aged ≥ 12 to \< 36 months must have a height Z-score of ≤ -2.0 SDS in reference to the average stature of the same sex and age, as calculated using the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts. 4. Participant's weight at the Day 1 visit (pre-treatment) must be ≥ 3 kg. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Short stature condition other than HCH (eg, ACH, trisomy 21, pseudoachondroplasia). 2. Have an unstable medical condition likely to require surgical intervention during the study period. 3. Taking any of the prohibited medications. 4. Have been treated with growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), or anabolic steroids in the 6 months prior to Screening, or long-term treatment (\> 3 months) at any time. 5. Require any investigational agent prior to completion of study period. 6. Have received another investigational product or investigational medical device within 30 days prior to the Screening visit. 7. Have used any other investigational product or investigational medical device for the treatment of HCH or short stature at any time. 8. Have current malignancy, history of malignancy, or currently under work-up for suspected malignancy. 9. Have known hypersensitivity to vosoritide or its excipients. 10. Have a condition or circumstance that, in the view of the investigator, places the participant at high risk for poor treatment compliance or for not completing the study. 11. Have any concurrent disease or condition that, in the view of the investigator, will interfere with study participation or safety evaluations, for any reason.
