Active clinical trials for "Achondroplasia"

The purpose of this study is to create an electronic registry to house phenotypic information from patients with achondroplasia. The initial focus of this registry will be to include U.S. patients with achondroplasia. Once populated, the collective data can be queried to pursue clinical research questions pertaining to health outcomes and treatment options for patients with this conditions. The registry is longitudinal in nature with the functionality to retrospectively enter patients' clinical data from the prenatal period up through the most recent encounter, with all intervening data entered in a chronologic fashion.

Study 111-206 is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of BMN 111 in infants and young children with a diagnosis of Achondroplasia.

This is a Phase 2, open-label, sequential cohort dose-escalation study of BMN 111 in children with achondroplasia. The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of daily BMN 111 administered to children with achondroplasia.

Approximately 63 participants will be randomized to one of three doses to receive Recifercept either Low Dose Medium Dose High Dose Participants will will attend the clinic at baseline and at Day 1, 4, 8, 15, 29 & then Month 2, 3 6, 9 & 12. Assessments include safety, blood sampling, physical examination, vital signs, anthropometric body measurements & patient/caregiver quality of life questionnaires Participants will received treatment with Recifercept for 12 months. All participants who complete the study and in the opinion of the investigator, continue to have a positive risk:benefit profile, will be offered to enroll into an open-label extension (OLE) study. A PK cohort will include 12 participants who will randomly receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of Phase 2 study (process 1c) formulation and a single dose of 3 mg/kg of the proposed Phase 3 (process 2) study formulation in a cross over study. Dose of the cohort could be changed due to emerging safety and efficacy data in the study.

The intent and design of this Phase 3 study is to assess BMN 111 as a therapeutic option for the treatment of children with Achondroplasia.

The purpose of this study is to measure how much of the study drug gets into the blood- stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it when given as a single dose. Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected.

Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are the most common forms of dwarfism. Recent studies have shown that a small hormone called C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is an important regulator of linear growth. The investigators believe that genetic abnormality that causes achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia also disrupts CNP signaling, which may contribute to the growth problem. The investigators propose to look at levels of this and other closely related hormones in children and adults with achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia to see if they are different from levels in healthy people. The investigators hypothesis is that CNP levels are elevated in children with achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia, compared the healthy population. Another hypothesis is that CNP levels are not elevated in adults with achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia, since adults have no growth-plate cartilage. By studying the potential role of the CNP system in achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia, not only will the investigators provide further insight into the pathophysiology of these common syndromes, the investigators will also provide greater insight into the regulation of normal linear growth.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the study medicine (called recifercept) in people with achondroplasia. Achondroplasia is a very rare disease and patients of achondroplasia have short arms and legs. The study will include data already collected from a recifercept clinical trial and data collected from a separate study of achondroplasia. This study will compare patient experiences and will help the investigators determine if the study medicine, recifercept, is effective.

This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this study is to assess the incidence rate of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) when using somatropin (Norditropin®) for treatment of for achondroplasia without epiphyseal line closure under normal clinical practice conditions.

Observational study looking at the burden of illness in achondroplasia subjects aged 3 and above. The study will include a 3 year review of historical clinical data as well as a single point collection of questionnaire data to look at the impact on the following in individuals with achondroplasia versus a normative population: Quality of life Clinical burden Healthcare resource use Socio-economic burden Psychosocial burden Up to 175 subjects will be enrolled in sites in Argentina, Colombia and Brazil.
