Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 0 to 15 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: It is assumed that each of the study sites will enroll approximately 10-15 children of both genders and of various ages (0-10 years old). The total number of children planned to be enrolled across all sites is approximately 200.

Who may be able to join

  • Written informed consent is obtained from the children's parent(s) / legal guardian(s) before any study-related activity is carried out
  • The child is able to provide written informed assent, where this is required according to national legislation, before any study related activity is carried out
  • The child has been diagnosed as having achondroplasia documented by clinical diagnosis
  • The child is between 0 years and 10 years of age, inclusive, on the date of consent / assent
  • The investigator has considered the family and prospective participating child being able to comply with the study procedures

Who cannot join

  • The child has a diagnosis of hypochondroplasia or any short stature condition other than achondroplasia (eg, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenital [SEDC], pseudoachondroplasia, trisomy 21)
  • The child has any medical condition that may impact growth or where the treatment is known to impact growth, such as but not limited to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus, autoimmune inflammatory disease (including celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus [SLE], juvenile dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and others), autonomic neuropathy, or inflammatory bowel disease
  • Treatment in the previous 12 months prior to consent and assent with growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), anabolic steroids, or any other drug expected to affect growth velocity
  • Any surgery that affects the growth plate of the long bones that is planned, or has occurred in the past 18 months
  • Participation in any interventional study (investigational product or device) for treatment of achondroplasia or short stature
  • Has had bone-related surgery impacting assessment of anthropometric measurements or is expected to have it during the study period. Children with previous limb-lengthening surgery may enroll if surgery occurred at least 18 months prior to the date of consent/assent and healing is complete without sequelae as determined by the investigator
  • Has any condition that in the view of the investigator places the child at high risk of poor compliance with the visit schedule or of not completing the study.
  • Any concurrent disease or condition that in the view of the investigator would interfere with study participation

About this study

Official title: An International, Prospective Registry Investigating the Natural History of Participants With Achondroplasia

This is a registry study in children with achondroplasia, age 0-10 years, to be conducted at multiple clinical centers in several countries. Information collected will include in anthropometric characteristics, related symptoms, tests, \& treatments

Children's information will be collected in the registry for a maximum of 5 years.

Conditions

Medical subject headings
Achondroplasia

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in Standing Height

    Standing height (for participants aged ≥2 years) is an assessment of maximum vertical size. Standing height was measured using a stadiometer with a fixed vertical backboard and an adjustable head piece. Height in supine position (or length for participants aged <2 years) was measured using measuring board. Three valid measurements were performed at each visit and the average of the 3 valid measurements was reported and used in descriptive summaries. Data is reported according to age group (<2 years and ≥2 years) and gender of the participants.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years

  2. Change From Baseline in Sitting Height

    Sitting height (for participants aged ≥2 years) is a measure of the trunk of the body from the buttocks to the top of the head when the participant is sitting upright. Sitting height was measured using a stadiometer and sitting height table. Crown-rump length (for participants aged <2 years) was measured using measuring board. Three valid measurements were performed at each visit and the average of the 3 valid measurements was reported and used in descriptive summaries. Data is reported according to age group (<2 years and ≥2 years) and gender of the participants.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years

  3. Change From Baseline in Knee Height

    Knee height means lower segment length (lower segment=standing height - sitting height). Knee height was measured using knee height caliper. Three valid measurements were performed at each visit and the average of the 3 valid measurements was reported and used in descriptive summaries. Data is reported according to age group (<2 years, 2-10 years, and ≥10 years) and gender of the participants.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years

  4. Change From Baseline in Head Circumference

    Head circumference is a measurement of the circumference of the child's head at its largest area, above the eyebrows and ears and around the back of the head. Head circumfernce was measured using measuring tape. Three valid measurements were performed at each visit and the average of the 3 valid measurements was reported and used in descriptive summaries. Data is reported according to age group (<2 years, 2-10 years, and ≥10 years) and gender of the participants.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years

  5. Change From Baseline in Arm Span

    Arm span measurement is the distance between fingertips when the arms are outstretched. All participants should be measured supine lying on the measurement grid. Three valid measurements were performed at each visit and the average of the 3 valid measurements was reported and used in descriptive summaries. Data is reported according to age group (<2 years, 2-10 years, and ≥10 years) and gender of the participants.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years

  6. Number of Participants With Achondroplasia-Related Treatments

    Achondroplasia-related treatments were collected in a prospective and standardized fashion to allow characterization of the natural history of the disease course in the youngest participants in relation to the level of actual disease burden over time due to treatments, as well as data to support identification of possible risk factors. Data is reported according to the gender of the participants.

    Measured: Baseline to end of study visit (up to 55 months)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Baseline and Post-baseline Measurements of Serum Collagen X Marker

    Collagen X Marker (CXM), is a degradation by-product of endochondral ossification that is released into the circulation in proportion to overall growth plate activity. This marker corresponds to the rate of linear bone growth at time of measurement as recently demonstrated in children of normal average growth. Data is reported according to age group (<2 years, 2-10 years, and ≥10 years) and gender of the participants.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Achondroplasia, run by Pfizer at 57 sites in 14 countries.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in Standing Height (time frame: Baseline, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 Oct 2024.
