  • Ages Up to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: Approximately 500 patients will be enrolled. Patients from birth to <= 17 years, inclusive, on the date of consent will be enrolled. Approximately equal numbers of boys and girls will be enrolled.

Who may be able to join

  • Parent(s) or guardian(s) willing and able to provide signed informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to performance of any research-related procedure. Also, willing and able to provide written assent (as needed) after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to performance of any research-related procedure.
  • Aged 0 to <= 17 years, inclusive, at study entry.
  • Have ACH, documented by clinical diagnosis
  • Are ambulatory and able to stand without assistance (not applicable for infants)
  • Are willing and able to perform all study procedures as physically possible.

Who cannot join

  • Have hypochondroplasia or short stature condition other than ACH (e.g., trisomy 21, pseudoachondroplasia)
  • Have any of the following disorders:
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus
  • Autoimmune inflammatory disease
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
Show all 26Show fewer
  • Autonomic neuropathy
  • Have an unstable clinical condition likely to lead to intervention during the course of the study, including progressive cervical medullary compression
  • Growth plates have fused
  • Have a history of any of the following:
  • Renal insufficiency
  • Anemia
  • Cardiac or vascular disease, including the following:
  • Cardiac dysfunction (abnormal echocardiogram [ECHO] including left ventricle [LV] mass) at Screening Visit
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • Congenital heart disease
  • Cerebrovascular disease, aortic insufficiency
  • Clinically significant atrial or ventricular arrhythmias
  • Current treatment with antihypertensive medications angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium-channel blockers, cardiac glycosides, systemic anticholinergic agents, any medication that may impair or enhance compensatory tachycardia, drugs known to alter renal function that is expected to continue for the duration of the study
  • Have been treated with growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), or anabolic steroids in the previous 6 months or long-term treatment (> 3 months) at any time
  • Have had regular long-term treatment (> 1 month) with oral corticosteroids (low-dose ongoing inhaled steroid for asthma is acceptable)
  • Concomitant medication that prolongs the QT/QTc interval within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before the Screening visit
  • Have used any other investigational product or investigational medical device for the treatment of ACH or short stature
  • Have had bone-related surgery or expected to have bone-related surgery during the study period. Subjects with previous limb-lengthening surgery may enroll if surgery occurred at least 18 months prior to the study and healing is complete without sequelae.
  • Have any condition that, in the view of the Investigator, places the patient at high risk of poor compliance with the visit schedule or of not completing the study.
  • Concurrent disease or condition that, in the view of the Investigator, would interfere with study participation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Achondroplasia, run by BioMarin Pharmaceutical at 20 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 26 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States, Japan, Spain, Australia, United Kingdom and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Collection of consistent growth measurements (time frame: Assessed every 3 months for up to 84 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01603095, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2021.
